Thor 2: The Dankest World
V for Vendetta still sits at the top of my list.
Blade 1 and 2 are still my favourites.

Eh Maybe fucked up.
Don't believe his lies, forever.

Dark Knight
Dredd
The Crow
Watchmen
Batman
Batman Returns
BvS
History of Violence
Blade 1 & 2
Trinity is a guilty pleasure
Does Darkman count?
I like a lot. I love a lot.
Recently I saw Ghostworld again. Its weird that a movie has that so much to say about contemporary life and the decline of western society has its roots in some little known comic book. If you guys haven't seen it, give it a shot on a rainy afternoon.
Scarjo and Thora Birch would have made for a cool Ivy and Selina combo.
I'll only believe your lies from now on.
Man of Steel and The Dark Knight are both up there.
Batman v Superman was probably the best superhero movie that came out this year though that's not saying much considering everything was below average/not worth remembering.
I haven't seen that much comic book movies though. I hated Scott Pilgrim, Kick-Ass was alright, I liked Kingsman.
My top three:
#1
#2
#3
Days of Future Past, Spider-man 2, and Batman Begins are honorable mentions.
I like your list, Id swap Antman for GoTG and that would be mine probably.

Not that I think he should be totally trusted but if you are referring to that debacle with the Logan director that was a parody account and not Mayimbe.

It's not a great Constantine adaptation, but it's a really fun movie.

The new one will have to grow on me, but it does look nice in motion. Just give us a fucking trailer already Snyder.

Spider-man 2 is only okay? Fucking hell, am I the only sane discord mod?
Actually I tried to step down from my mod position, but some intelligent girl wouldn't let me. Now I'm stuck with these lunatics.

Theoretically speaking, if my favorite comic book movie of all time is the original Raimi Spider-Man, will I get kicked out of DCEU Gaf? I'm asking for a friend.
I hate how little physical presence Lex has in the DCEU. I guess he's good at basketball tho?

Man, Snyder just can't win with you whiners can he.
"OMG SNYDER U DUMB PRICK, BRAINS OVER MUSCLE POWER YOU IDIOT. LEX IS ALL ABOUT INTELLIGENCE, HE LOOKS LIKE A ROIDED UP WRESTLER, UGHHHH".
Maybe you'd be right if he was being played by John Cena

Let's be honest, most people would be bitching regardless of who Snyder picked because Snyder picked him.

This. Especially if he went with a buffer Luthor.
I'm a DCEU fan, I have to.
He's the living embodiment of the DCAU Luthor
But no, let's cast him in a movie that'll never be made
He sucks, so good thing.

No THIS was the epitome of the DCAU Luthor. I believe they actually based it off of him too.
But unless they're gonna CG that shit, which would be awful, we're sticking with Jesse.
I still hold that he can do a damn fine Luthor like the comics, or close enough, but he would have to be written that way.
Edit: Oh you said living, eh whatever. Poist still holds.
Eisenberg's Lex was the single best element of BvS. Some of you will just have to accept you're really not keen on what what makes Luthor, well, Luthor. If anything it was Luthor's final scenes that stepped out of the character. Everything prior to the Doomsday battle was pretty much the definitive Luthor.
My girlfriend and I both liked Eisenberg a lot. He killed it in that rooftop scene too, so good.

He wasn't the definitive Luthor. He could make everybody to do what he wanted them to do, he was a top tier scientist, he had his comic book counterpart's motives, he was very close to the source material in general, sure, but he wasn't as serious he should be. I hope we see the serious Luthor in Justice League.

I didn't mind Eisenberg much, he was an interesting mix of crazy mad scientist Lex and darker businessman Lex, but he was far from an iconic take on the character. He gets better in the UC, and I hope they do more stuff with him in the future, but he was far from perfect.
Scenes like this are more classic Lex than anything in BvS
Eh, most people bitched about Affleck when he was cast then promptly shut up when he was the best part of BvS. The same did not happen for Eisenberg for pretty obvious reasons.

The thing is, Eisenberg wasn't the problem, some of the stranger takes on Lex in the script were. Make him a bit less manic, and that solves a lot of the problems.
Oh I totally agree. At the end of the day, I blame Snyder more than Eisenberg. Jessie is a good actor who was acting as instructed. When I say he has very little presence, it's not just his actual physical build. Small guys can be shot to come across as intimidating and with a demanding presence, he just wasn't shot or written that way.
I have great tastes. Just ask Disco.

Has this been posted yet?
This is a matter of personal taste. Considering how many people Luthor straight up murdered without hesitation he seemed pretty serious to me. Look at the way he tossed Lois off the top of his building. Almost like it never even occurred to him what would have happened had Superman not been there. And look at the cards Lex was holding. It wouldn't have even mattered.
A lot of people confuse "iconic" with "quality" or even something as simple as "the usual". As Cretan mentioned above all of Lex's unique traits were pretty much in play. What people seemed to have a problem with is Eisenberg's Lex being playful.Which is demonstrated above in the brief convo between guek and yourself. I also heard complaints based on Eisenberg's size but his size juxtaposed to Henry Cavill's actually works for the dynamic.
