I actually liked the Star Trek movie. There. I said it. I pretty much like all of Star Trek. I will probably go see the next one, too. I hope I'll be able to see more of the scenery as opposed to lens flares, but I'm pretty sure that won't critically ruin the movie. As far as Star Wars goes, I'm almost completely certain that it can't be ruined by lens flare. Especially if there are more lightsabers than main characters in it.
As far as witch hunts = misogyny goes: maybe I've played way too many video games, but witches in this context seem more like "generic evil bad monster"-du jour. You could replace them with thematically similar warlocks/necromancers/monsters that are traditionally male and I think it would probably have the same effect (I honestly haven't seen the movie, but unless the witches are women first and monsters second, I doubt it would matter much), you'd just lose the joke. Maybe the idea of them was misogynist, but the idea of a "witch" as a supernatural baddie has been diluted so many times, it feels completely divorced from the real instances of witch hunts to the point of them being two separate things in my brain. Maybe I'm not looking at things from the right perspective, but I just lump monster-movie witches in with zombies, vampires, succubi (and other various demons), Lovecraftian horrors, etc. into the "these bad guys often have X traits and do Y things (eat souls, kill children, lead people to their doom, tempt people to sin, whatever). They are traditionally killed by Z implements, and the good guys must do this before they suffer from Y things." box. Most monsters, I suppose, don't really have a historical background of innocent people being put to death for potentially being one, either.
As far as the main female character getting hurt a lot and having to be revived by the dude? I'm kinda tired of that, honestly. I'd really like to see a main female character do some butt-kicking and help out her male partner (who is awesome, but gets his tar kicked a few times and needs to be revived by the female main). It could be I'm just not watching the right movies though, so what do I know?
