Spacey just needs to be more "Luthor". He wasn't investing himself in the character. Not nearly slimey enough as has been traditional (and, no, I'm not looking for Reeve, Kidder, Hackman clones in the casting).
That's kinda true. What stood out to me (and what I found kind of unsettling) is that he seems like much more of a bully and a sadist,....and yet he seems to be viewed more sympathetically than previous Luthors, like "Oh well he has his reasons to be evil" or something. This adds another layer of moody darkness to the picture, making it somehow more "disconcerting" in a way, and nothing like any of its predecessors in film or television. Just, well...creepy. (Kind of like, oh I don't know...Apt Pupil? )
Am I making any sense? These were just my impressions.
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I'd love it if they had Braniac, the Toyman, Prankster, Doomsday or even that villain with the name NO one can spell or remember how to say...(starts with an "M"!) I'm not even going to attempt that one!
