10. Lex Luthor Jr. is annoying
Jesse Eisenberg makes Jim Carrey’s Riddler and Jamie Foxx’s Electro look like Oscar-worthy performances. His portrayal of Lex Luthor – actually it’s Lex Luthor Jr. – is so over the top it takes campy to a new level. He has weird ticks, rambles incessantly about gods and is so unconvincing that his ability to be manipulative is never believable.
This is the Lex Luthor that we are supposed to believe is smarter than even Bruce Wayne? Lex does some really weird stuff in this movie from putting a jar of piss on a senator’s desk to sticking a candy in a government official’s mouth. It’s creepy in a laughable way, not in a scary or menacing way.
