Gonna have to disagree with you on this one. He was acting exactly the opposite of the way I would expect a Vulcan, even a half-Human one, to behave. And there was no point where you see him reject his human side for his Vulcan side. We know in the original timeline that happens when Michael leaves him. Maybe there was no Michael in the Kelvin timeline, but I still do not care for a Spock that act like that.
His planet was destroyed, which forced him to grow rapidly. This is a very different Spock who had to embrace his human side fairly quickly, as he no longer had the Vulcan to fall back on. His relationship with Kirk was fast tracked, along with his relationship with Uhura, made him more human and emotionally volatile
This is exactly the reason why I don’t like the fact that they used the same characters in the Kelvin timeline but gave them totally different personalities. Why not just use different characters?
(I know, the answer is that the producers knew how to get butts in movie theater seats and maximize their profits.)

My head canon is that it’s not really Spock, it’s Sylar who’s found himself marooned in the future and trying to blend in as best he can.
Oo… or maybe it’s Sybok and he stole Spock’s identity to get a hold of a Federation starship and get to Sha Ka Ree.

Because it wouldn’t be a proper cash grab if they didn’t re-use as many recognizable names as possible.
