He was fine as an actor... but the stupidity at DC to try to make Superman some angst ridden anti-hero when they relaunched the brand in film was beyond stupid....
DC just can’t seem to understand, respecting the source material draws in big bucks... playing with a winning formula does not.
DC tried to make Superman a bit like Batman. A tragic emotionally scarred guy. Was the world really hoping for a sad-sack Superman in a grim-dark suit? Nope. At least they struck gold with Wonder Woman. That was a great movie. Wonder Woman is not portrayed as some grim warrior but rather a determined and optimistic but somewhat naive fish out of water on a mission to save the world, even though she doesn't really know how. Nice change.
I've seen a lot of the comic book movies but I'm getting bored of them. They are mostly all the same. My two favorites were Captain America: Winter Soldier and Wonder Woman. Because the first played out like a conspiracy thriller spy movie, a serious tone but one which I really liked. And because the second was a just plain fun, well written, well acted, well made action film. Honorable mention: Lego Batman. Really, not kidding.
Comic book movies reached their zenith with “The Dark Knight.” I find the DC movies atrocious and the Marvel movies laughable.
Although Gal Gadot was quite hot as Wonder Woman.
