Since I completely agree with you on Zemo being weak, uninteresting and at times, very dumb. Edit: I had no idea that BvS is missing 40 minutes of footage. Good to know. |
My opinon on BVS' Lex is that although I can see where some people are coming from in not liking the BVS version of the character I'll say the performance is one of the best in regards to just being a villain. I see BVS' version of Lex more as a new incarnation or version of Lex who brings a new spin and approach to the character rather than following a set template that everyone is used to, in gaming terms this would be a reboot rather than a remake, it won't click with a number of long time fans who are used to the previous interpretations of the character but for a good other number of people it'll be a fresh take who this version will eventually gel with while newer fans would have been given a treat by that performance.
This will sound strange and ironic but the best way I can put it for anyone who hasn't seen BVS is don't go into the film thinking Lex is a James Bond scenario where it's a different actor following the same template go in thinking more along the lines of Batman funny enough where each actor does the role their own unique way.
