I haven't seen it yet, but I absolutely love the Lec redesign. I feel Jesse is playing a more cerebral kind of villain, one that fits the modern archetype of what Lex would be, rather than a stiff suit. It's a great way to change the role to appeal to a wider, younger audience that might be tired of seeing big buff tropes and nothing else. Same reason I enjoyed MoS and its ending - they're playing with these characters in more engaging ways. Problem is the ones reviewing the films are often purists. 

Imho Jesse was fantastic. He wasn't really Lex,  he was more or less his own character. This may factored into disappointment for a lot of people. With that in mind, his performance from an acting perspective was debatably the best in the movie. He was crazy. For those who say he's "miscast", perhaps we should wait for the sequel. This was kind of... more or less an origins story for him.

I totally agree that Jess' performance is arguably the best in the movie.

But Lex Luthor is supposed to be a person who is charismatic and genius. The Lex in the movie is like a mad scientist or a lunatic. Maybe the change is for the better though, who knows. 

Hopefully the pacing of the sequel will improve.
