Romulans in this movie don't look at all like Original!Romulans.
I think they explained this by saying they didn't want people unfamiliar with the franchise to get confused and think that (in the first scene) the Kelvin was being attacked by a bunch of evil Vulcans, so that was a necessary change, not just a "hey let's make this look cool" change.
*shrugs* I can't really argue with you about the rest of it, though.
