You got filtered holy shit. This role was perfect. Any iteration of Lex would feel forced, especially the classic big bald one. Although he does become bald and wears the suit on ZSJL and it would have been interesting at least to see where he brings the character, since he can't rely on being Zuckerberg 2.0 after the story of BvS.
He kind of redeems himself in ZSJL, to be fair. Plus, it seems they're actually planning to release the Ayer cut now, we could at least get to see how his character is intended to be portrayed.
no, Snyder Flash is genius.
the concept of "nerfing" a god-like character like Flash with the modern contemporary flaw of ADHD/autism/mental illness was genius on Zack's part.
Would've been okay as an updated silicon valley young billionaire Lex, but Snyder decided to make him "become Lex Luthor" instead of just having him be Lex Luthor right out of the gate, which I thought was stupid.
Nobody wants to watch Eisenberg for 3 hours until the last 5 minutes when he shaves his head.
I always thought it would be cool for Lex to have cancer which makes him bald and then want to kill Superman because a random farmboy from Kansas who he assumes is an alien brute is famous for being strong physically while Lex isn't praised for being strong mentally. So he builds mech suits to try and beat Superman's strength so he can finally top him on both accounts.

This Lex was already perfect, just copy him + cast heisenberg/mads mikkelsen as Lex Luthor
Yeah, that's the best choice. But if Snyder wanted something different, I thought the cancer route would work in a universe thematically set against humans and "gods"

Poorly done all around. I hate Eisenberg, but he could have channeled a newer kind of Lex, like a (slightly) more evil Zuck, but only if they committed to that from the start. No one is that interested in seeing how Lex became Lex. Smallville was the best attempt at a "Lex born of paranoia and jealousy" but it only worked as a slow boil. As for the hair, Hackman played the best Luthor (of the golden age variety) and kept his hair the whole time (except the bald cap split second at the end where he pulls off his wig).
Eisenberg's Luthor was the most kino character in the entire film. The only truly atrocious, abominable miscast was Ezra Miller. Gadot is fine and I'm indifferent on Momoa.

are all cringe.

Yeah he was a great Lex. Only problem is that they didn't have teen lex in smallville where Superboy causes his hair loss.
Worst Supes iteration.
Hunky square jaw guy larps as Superman because square jaw.
Pretty girl is supposed to be Lois?
Kevin Spacey is Kevin Spacey as Lexi Luthor.
All combine to give wooden uninspired performance in a half thought out product.
Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina. >Was way too old >Phoned in performance >Visibly could not stand Audrey Hepburn and had no chemistry with her
William Holden clearly had chemistry with Audrey and it made the choice at the end seem wrong.
Michael Nyvist as Mikael Blomkvist in the first film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo/Millenium Trilogy >Blomkvist in the books and movies is supposed to be this super charismatic Cassanova who women swoons over and turns lesbians straight >A super detective >Casts a schlub who sleeps through his performance and has everything explained to him
Why does Lex want to be the President?
What can the President do that Lex can't?
And why just the President and not king of the Universe or something more than President of one country?
>Pardon henchmen >Make trade deals that he can profit and gain leverage from >Start wars >Stop sanctions against foreign enemies and collborate with them >Order spying >Order assassinations >Suspend haebus corpus if there are two pesky reporters after him.
And it's all legal.
Couldn't he just do all that anyway since he has frick you Superman money?
I don't understand how what he normally does being legal now would become a life goal
There's already a character called the Joker who does the crazy illegal shit
Lex being the President is a simple goal like this issue Superman saves a plane from crashing the end
>Why does Sheev have to become Chancellor and then Emperor? He's already a Senator and Sith Lord with Dark Side powers and Frick You money. What does becoming Emperor do for Palpatine? >Why do the Nazis need the Ark of the Covenant or Holy Grail? They already have a massive army, superweapons, and massive resources. >Why does the Predator need to kill Dutch? He's already killed all his men. >Why does Marcellus Wallace need the briefcase?
>I'm going to orchestrate a complete takeover but have a long drawn out political scene where its done semi-legally even though I already won and will throw it all away next week when I kill the jedi which I could've done at any time apparently >No Mein Fuhrer we NEED this mystical mumbo jumbo to win ze war JUST BECAUSE OKAY
How does Lex not being President stop him starting a war with his robot army or just start a proxy war, assassinating anyone since he hangs out with all the assassins anyway or just becoming king of Earth or Master of the Universe
You're thinking about it too hard because now you got a universe full of shit, multiple dimensions, etc
Its written in back when being the President was the craziest end game they could think of in the same way the Joker's master scheme ends up being robbing le bank
…
could have worked
Jason Momoa and Affleck was fine
Kys
He's fine but I would've preferred a more comic accurate Arthur.
>leto couldve worked
leto has never had a good role in his life, and is a consistently terrible actor. it was doomed to be shit
I don’t think we have to settle disagreements by telling someone to commit suicide
Jesse isn't a bad actor but he was a bad Lex
the tattoos were weird but as a "clown based crime boss" Leto's joker was great
pure kino even with hair

snyder has never made a bad casting choice
never made a bad movie
all kino
Sucker Punch.
F I L T E R E D
Is his best film, yes.
Someone needs to shut down Cinemaphile India.
Cinemaphile is a global website and has no nationality
I like pretending that too.
We are now frens
Sneederjeets are here huh
He actually did a good job, Jesse Eisenberg has never had a bad performance.
He was supposed to be playing Lex Luthor not the Riddler.
Totally different characters.
No shit you ESL homosexual thats the point
Casting Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins.
>filtered
Literal best part of the trilogy
Clearly you enjoy eating shit and that's okay, buddy
Completely agree, he's a hatable actor in basically everything
yes
he felt like a sóyboy larper. Yes I fricking know bilbo is supposed to stick out but he does so in the worst way possible.
I liked him
Should have cast Idris Elba
Snyderverse didn't have any good casting apart from Cavill.
I haven't read the comics if it makes any difference
Cavill is dogshit
Well to be fair israelites are pretty fricking evil.
I liked it. Kind of the only thing I did like about the film.
I thought the casting worked well for what Snyder was going for

That would've been rad, and fit with Snyderverse lore.
Thank you.

>HES GENIUS
This Lex was already perfect, just copy him + cast heisenberg/mads mikkelsen as Lex Luthor
The DCAU cartoons was the only moment Lex Luthor was buff. Every other instance he is either skinny fat or straight up super fat.
>liked israelite Wonder Woman
>liked goofy Luthor
have a nice day immediately
Jewess Sticc Wonder Woman was kino and coomable.
So was mulatta SJW Catwoman
And LULZ robot Riddler
>Riddler Lex
>Juggalo Joker
>gay Black Mask + Zsasz
>femcel Cheetah
>LatinX Trump Maxwell Lord
>Groomer Flash
>Wooden Cyborg
>Butterface non fighter talkative Cassie Cain
>Post Wall Renee Montoya
>Edgelord Dick Grayson
>Sheboon in a hooker outfit Starfire
>Batwoman (Just Batwoman)
>Quippy Batman
>Emo Superman
are all cringe.
I keep thinking Zack said "get me that Heisenberg guy" and then they just brought this dweeb.
that guy seriously has no business being an actor. he's fricking awful
this would have worked if they gave him a big musclesuit like Will Ferrell in Zoolander 2
and they didnt use this guy?!
guessing he wasnt israeli.
Yes because the first Lex Luthor its very intimidating
>acts like a prick
>genius
>condescending
>has hot gf and cool best friend
>has a great plan to become rich
Yeah he was a great Lex. Only problem is that they didn't have teen lex in smallville where Superboy causes his hair loss.
This was like a post-ledger decision. Pick this random non serious actor to play the villain - except this time it didn't work.
I love keanu reeves but he fricking ruins that Dracula movie
Will Ferrell as LL?
He was perfect. Exactly what an evil god-hating billionaire would be like. israelites seethe
Worst Supes iteration.
Hunky square jaw guy larps as Superman because square jaw.
Pretty girl is supposed to be Lois?
Kevin Spacey is Kevin Spacey as Lexi Luthor.
All combine to give wooden uninspired performance in a half thought out product.
Frick you homosexual that's my favorite Superman.
The actors and supes were really good. The script was mediocre on this one and that’s where the problem is. Brandon Routh is better than Cavill
Spacey saved the movie
Routh seemed too youngish for the role and was forced to basically do a Reeve impression.
Lois Lane was a non-character.
imagine
Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina.
>Was way too old
>Phoned in performance
>Visibly could not stand Audrey Hepburn and had no chemistry with her
William Holden clearly had chemistry with Audrey and it made the choice at the end seem wrong.
Michael Nyvist as Mikael Blomkvist in the first film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo/Millenium Trilogy
>Blomkvist in the books and movies is supposed to be this super charismatic Cassanova who women swoons over and turns lesbians straight
>A super detective
>Casts a schlub who sleeps through his performance and has everything explained to him
Rosenbaum was the only good Lex. Besides Clancy Brown
You're literally me. I want to suck your dick.
It’s weird how these casting choices were either spot on or totally off.
Emma Stone as a hapa in Aloha.
She's fricking perfect. Shut up
Why does Lex want to be the President?
What can the President do that Lex can't?
And why just the President and not king of the Universe or something more than President of one country?
>Pardon henchmen
>Make trade deals that he can profit and gain leverage from

Sometimes the politicians you buy have a mind of their own like a naughty puppy or disobedient child.

how much of it was casting and how much of it was directing/writing?
Elaine from Seinfeld in MCU is at least as bad.
he's a better lex luthor in zsjl
Who here remembers Spacey Lex on ytmnd?
>Rosenbaum has to pretend he's not bitter about it
its obvious that it should have been a Jeff Bezos lookalike
