Originally posted by Darth ThorI didn't have a problem with Hackman's take on Lex (genius-goof), it fit those movies well. Same with Spacey's in that meh film Returns, he was the best part of it. Rosenbaum, again, was one of the better aspects of Smallville.
Just never really bothered me. For me there's not a specific way Lex has to be. Gene Hackman Lex was very different to the Smallville Michael Rosenbaum Lex, who was very different to the Clancy Brown JLU Lex. But I really liked all of them, and look forward to any new and different takes on the character.But I guess that's just me.
But Brown's JLU Lex and/or the Lex of several of the DC animated films which are clearly modeled after the JLU version is what I wanted in this film; I don't see Eisenberg coming close to that or even doing a good role by doing his own unique take on the character. I'm hoping he does and I have to eat crow on Saturday, but I doubt it.
