But the problem is that it's mostly suggested by dialogue and the intent is mostly lost amidst Eisenberg's performance. There's very little in the way of subtlety to pick up on. Hackman (and even Spacey, to his credit) were able to suggest a lot more in their quiet stares or wry smiles than any amount of quick-fire ramblings that Eisenberg gave us.
I'm not ragging on the guy, as he's generally a good actor, but I think he was badly cast here.
Maybe. It's unfortunate that he gave us what he gave us, either way.
Is there a scene where that happens? Really don’t recall that.
It’s at 3:15
It’s cool to think that the real original Doomsday that the kryptonian fought in the first place is still around destroying things in the universe.
Anyway, ZSJL is officially the best reviewed Snyder film on RT of all his career, and the score keeps on getting better... and all this happens to a movie that it shouldn't even have existed in a normal world.
Agreed. Then again, Ledger's Joker comes close, except he's not just destroying stuff; he's putting society in a petri dish to perform his little social experiments on.
Luthor's plot is one of the least satisfying elements of BvS for me. It feels like there's a hint of an interesting plot hidden somewhere but it got lost in editing or whatever.
Yes true, even then it's not a film I love.
I can't think of any Bond villain who's been doing bad stuff just because he's crazy. Silva possibly comes the closest but even he has a plan for revenge (plus he doesn't mind making a little money too).
You know who would have really killed it in the role? Michael Rosenbaum. Smallville wasn’t a great show by any stretch of the imagination, but he made an AMAZING Lex Luthor who felt like a believable person that you can understand. I would have loved to cast him as Lex, like Judi Dench back as M in spite of continuity. He really was that good.
He's another one that I should have mentioned previously!
If she had played Lois in Returns she might actually have made her likeable.
And take note anyone in the 'who should play 007?' thread: they cast a ginger as a character known for being raven haired! And no one noticed! :)
Well you clearly never watched the film as shes crucial to the investigation into Luthor and his organisation as well as finding out that the guy in the wheelchair did not infact detonate the bomb at the court hearing.She also helps convince Batman that Supes isnt a killer.
My advice is not to bother watching the new cut of JL.You clearly have no interest in the universe that Zack Snyder has created so why bother?
You do remember that they shaved his head at the end of BVS? ( Thereby completing the traditional luthor look ).And just because we didnt see him wear a three piece suit in BVS doesnt prove he doesnt like them.Like Superman,Snyder is depicting these characters on their journey to becoming the traditional versions of what they end up being.
And i find it hilarious that you think Snyder would alter his vision based on critical reaction.His DC films have clearly stood the test of the time and turned out to be very popular given the monumental feat of the fans getting his cut of JL released.
Awesome! Thanks for posting that.
Its a great little interview, I am slightly jealous of Tyrone. Snyder is so appreciative of his audience credit to him.
It’s not just the sudden affinity for three piece suits, it’s also the erasure of his awkward personality tics that were prevalent all the way until his last scene in BvS (DINGDINDINGDINGDINGDING...).
He actually did. He and Terrio have been on record over the years regarding having to change their original plans for JL after the negative reception BvS received. Luthor’s characterization was one of the many wildly unpopular things about that film.
From the sounds of the JL we are getting, it does sound like Snyder addressed those criticisms and considered them in his work to make a more likable film and it seems to have worked. That makes total sense because when he made BvS he was given the keys to the DCEU, but by JL suddenly he had to work even harder to prove he could deliver after the critical and financial underperformance of BvS. Good on him I say.
Having a couple of plot things to do isn't the same as having a decent role in the film.
Steady. No-one's saying you're wrong to enjoy it, you don't have to try and attack anyone who enjoys it less.
That's a terrific batsuit. What's the story with this? Some proper actors in there: that's Doug Jones as the Riddler isn't it? And is that Michael Madsen? Shame about the guy playing Joker though.
Zack Snyder wanted Ryan Reynolds to make a Green Lantern cameo.

Edited: Hopefully I will be watching the film in 4 and a half hours.

Edited: 3 minutes in this is already amazing.
Confusingly NOW TV seems to have decided to rebrand today so the app was a bit tricky to locate because it looks different! :)
Holy Rusted Metal... Wonder Woman ^:)^ :-O
This is Snyder's magnus opus.
