So... They just announced Jesse Eisenberg to play Lex Luthor in the Superman/Batman Justice-League-setup-movie... You know Jesse Eisenberg, one of the least threatening actors in Hollywood?
Seriously, my number 1 complaint about his performance in Now You See Me, is that he is not very threatening. The worst part is, Bryan Cranston (One of the best actors at playing threatening-yet-calm) expressed desire to play Lex, he even approached Zack about the role... And they turned him down.
I am having serious doubts about this film, that being said, i had serious doubts when they announced Zack would be heading it. When will you people understand, Zack Snyder is NOT a good director... He has made 6 movies, none of which can be agreed to be good.
300 is not a good film... It's fun, but pretty crappy as far as movies go. Watchmen, not bad, but could have been a fuckton better, so not good either. Man of Steel, let's not go there. Suckerpunch... Need I say more? The man has proven time and again that he is a shitty director... And yet they keep giving him big projects like Superman? Fuck him... Give the project to Bruce Timm, sure, he's never done Live Action before, but he knows how to make a good Superman story, so I don't care.
And you know what the kicker is? Jesse Eisenberg is being cast, because Michael Cera was unavailable... You know, Michael Cera, an even less threatening actor... Good god, i honestly think Zack Snyder might be worse than Michael Bay... No jokes, I honestly hate him more than Michael Bay... I mean, at least Bay knows he fucked up royal on Transformers. Zack Snyder... His head is so far up his own arse, all he can smell is roses.
