Quote:I'll just have to disagree here.

I liked Eisenberg's Luthor.

 

They purposefully went for a younger Lex Luthor.

His emotions got out of control and he allowed his hatred to get the best of him.

 

 

It's just a different take on the character. And I kind of liked it. Plus Luthor could evolve from this. When he gets out, shaved head an all, he'll be a little older, wiser, and more calculated.

 

You're absolutely correct however it doesn't really make any sense. Luthor is arguably older than Bruce Wayne so the whole disparity there messed with my sensibilities. It should be noted I am NOT a Superman fan per se, but this incarnation of Luthor was entirely too out of control for my knowledge of the character but we're all allowed our own opinions.

 

Quote:You're the first person I've seen that didn't love Gadot's performance as WW in the movie but I understand where you're coming from. While she may be a warrior princess she's not like Batman where she can erase things from the internet or be a step ahead of everyone technologically. She also understands there's a time and a place to fight.

 

I really didn't see what was wrong with Wonder Woman at all.

 

Like I said, they introduced her too much in a Black Widow persona and that just bothered me. I don't think she'll have any issues actually playing Wonder Woman and she was AMAZING in the fight sequences. I'm probably nitpicking and I didn't hate her like I did Luthor but it still bothered me.

All things considered, Gal did a good job. I'm kinda biased though as I've actually met Mrs. Carter ~10yrs ago and she was an angel while I geeked out. She still looks amazing today...but I'm sure you know that already.

 

Quote:THIS is Superman...

 

 

The shadow of Reeve's Superman is the primary reason why my friends and I (all comic geeks) think that every attempt at rebooting Superman on-screen has either failed (Brandon Routh) or received mixed reviews at best (Cavill). I actually think Cavill does a great job in both films but it's not his fault that the common fan doesn't know that Reeve's Supes was Silver Age and Cavill's is a mix of the Bronze Age and the Modern Superman. Silver Age Superman was extremely idealistic as I recall...as time progressed the character became somewhat more pragmatic/realistic in view.
