My problem is she just wasn't very Uhura-ish. TOS!Uhura was very big-hearted and warm and sassy in a quiet, sly way and had pretty demonstrative emotions, and I would have liked to see that expanded on and made more prominent than it was in TOS. She's too stock-Strong Love Interest in the reboot, and the Spock/Uhura romance was boring -- which was particularly disappointing because it didn't need to be boring! Look at them flirt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMkpk1yahnc

THIS.TOS Uhura was so warm and sassy, and came across as the quiet observer type. Reboot Uhura had none of that personality.

Yeah, this. There's not much of the feel of the original Uhura coming through. Though honestly I don't know when to blame Saldana and when to blame the writers.

Blame the director. It is a director's job to make even the insignificant lines, and the bland actors sparkle on the screen.

I agree about original Uhura. But I felt the same way about McCoy so I think I blame the writers more than the actress. The film McCoy comes off as so humourless and kind of a killjoy that I assumed it was just the way the character was supposed to be, but when I watched the series I was surprised to find how funny and flirty I found the original. A lot of that could have been the actor, but I wish they'd kept some of the fun and sense of humour of the character.
