Being one of the worst parts of an already horrible movie will do that.
It was a combo of not the right actor, the direction, and everything about it though. Especially the writers, director, and producers.

Reminds me of Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern
I dunno, I still think Reynolds did a good job in the movie. The script was bad to meh, but he carried off Hal very well imo
He most certainly did not carry anything in that movie. Script was trash, the effects were trash and yes, believe it or not, Ryan's acting was beyond trash in that.
It's OK, actors just suck at their job sometimes like anyone else but I am exhausted with people blatenly ignoring how god damn awful his performance was in GL. He was just as much a problem as every other thing in it. The film has exactly zero redeeming qualities, including him.
Dude, I'm not sure why this is a pet peeve for you, but I'm not interested in being ranted at. It's rude.
You're absolutely right. I could have approached that better.
I do apologize.
much appreciated :)

Maybe if he didn't just copy Ledger's Joker and behaved anything like Lex Luthor he'd have been better received.
Hollywood needs to wake up and let Billy Zane play Lex Luthor like he was always meant to.
Zane would be amazing but I gotta say I would love to see a Stephen Tobolowsky Lex Luthor
Nah they really need Michael Cera
He was, and always has been, a tedious actor to watch.
Wtf does that even mean?
He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.
In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.
Just my opinion
I thought he played Zuckerburg incredibly well. Honestly I do. However, I realized later that's because he has the same super awkward mannerisms as Zuckerberg, and I don't think he was really doing much acting in that movie. Everything else he's been in I've thought he was awkward and a bad cast
He plays Zuck so well that he just decided to keep doing it over and over.
Zombieland = post-apocalyptic Zuck
BvS = Batzuck
Rio = Flying Zuck
...
I agree with this. He was only good in that single movie.

Im over here trying to remember if Lex Luthor was even in that movie. That's how forgettable he was.
He was super hyper and awkward in that movie. The scene with the candy was just... Bad.
Luther needs to be calm and collected. A man of charm and charisma. And towering rage when his plots and plans fail.
Luther cannot be an autistic man child who puts candy in other people's mouth. That's exactly the wrong take.

I laughed way too hard at this
He also wrapped filming on Now You See Me 3.
theres the real career killer. 2 was so awful, and youre going to make a 3rd??
I hate being reminded that these movies exist. Wow, a film about fake magicians doing fake tricks with CGI, awesome.
At least make them real wizards, cowards.

I guess I’m the only one that liked this movie?
That's likely the case
If you can turn your brain fully off, like shut down, hold the power button ten seconds, wait for it to stop blinking, and unplug it from the wall, it can be a reasonably enjoyable dumb action ride.
What it sets out to do, it executes with a reasonable amount of technical prowess. There are scenes that are fun. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch shit explode or someone punch a car through a wall or whatever random thing happens. But it’s easy to lose the zen and find a million reasons to (rightly) hate the movie. I’m glad you like it. I generally enjoy it myself, when I’m in the right mood.
I think it still sucks as a turn your brain off movie.
There really isn't much action for, like, 80% of the movie. It's too busy trying to be smart and utterly failing, so either way that's a ton of boring unenjoyable talky stuff whether your brain is on or off.

I saw it in theatres, one in maybe 20 I've ever seen in my lifetime. I thought it was fine, everything I'd ever expect a "Batman fights Superman" movie to be.
Doesn't hurt that I don't care about either franchise and hadn't seen any other movies in the universe leading up to it lol. I was just invited last minute to see it with some friends
and hadn’t seen any other movies in the universe leading up to it
Part of the problem was that there weren't movies leading up to it. They just dropped Batman vs Superman on us with zero build up, which it really needed because Bats was acting wildly out of character due to stuff that happened off screen.
Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was "No hard drugs and no superhero movies."
Dune isn't a super hero film. It's a space opera based on a series of Novels.
Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.

I think he's a very good actor. This was a bad movie, and the part didn't suit him, and he played it bad. Only worst villan role was Paul Giamatti in Rock and Rolla making bugs bunny jokes. His roles need to stay within nerdy limits.
