Which Lex Luthor do you like better Gene Hackman or Kevin Spacey?
I guess Kevin Spacey.
They played different Lex Luthers...despite being set in the same general continuity.
Kevin Spacey. Because he played the best villian in film ever in a different movie. His acting is superior to that of Gene Hackman.
They both rule for varying reasons.
wait was it seven or usual suspects you were referring to?Quote:

Hackman's acting as Royal Tenenbaum was so much awesome I went into a coma over it. :mad2:Quote:

Exactly my point. He was awesome in both movies. However, I was referring to Keyser Söze in my initial post.Quote:

yeah i picked spacey...less of a comedic part than what hackman played, which goes a long way for me.
That doesn't change the fact that the first two Superman films are actually BETTER than Superman Returns.Quote:

I haven't seen the original Superman movies, so I guess I'd have to say Kevin Spacey.
Except that they're not really if you ask me.Quote:

I could believe Spacey's Luthor was capable of sinking most of North America into the ocean with absolutely no remorse much easier than I could believe Hackman sinking California.
