    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.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I don't know why Gene Hackman is losing...because Kevin Spacey SUCKED as Lex Luthor.

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

    Spacey is a good actor in a lot of movies I've loved, but he seems so similar in all his movies. He just sort of plays himself with different lines. I've never even watched the old Superman movies, though, so he gets my vote anyway.

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

    good good that's what i immediately thought of when i read that, but then i thought about seven too...

    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.

    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.

    The less comedic portrayal went a long way for me as well. I like Hackman, but Spacey brought a calculating menacing quality that Hackman didn't. 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.
