Absolutely!
Gadot’s entrance as Wonder Woman had the theater going crazy. Great stuff.
The Affleck warehouse scene is a great one to go back to periodically cause just when you think you’ve seen the best moment of it, you’re reminded of something else that was expertly choreographed and executed. Such a well done scene with a wide array of offense. The fact that Affleck is a physically towering person really helped play into what Snyder and co were going for with that version of the character too. More than any other Batman, he looked physically intimidating.
As
@KnightTemplar pointed out, Nolan movies, as great as they were for other reasons, were lacking in that choreography department. The Bane sewer fight is a great scene in my opinion but because of the atmosphere and Hardy’s dialogue/intensity. The actual fight choreography is subpar. It’s a memorable sequence for the aforementioned reasons but think how even better it could have been if the fight choreography matched the other elements.
Lol good way to explain it to your friend. I’m actually not even sure, come to think of it, that there has ever been a great version of Luthor on the big screen. Hackman- great actor, fun performance but I really didn’t get any sense of menace there. I thought that movie sort of played him for laughs and it was a bit jarring because he’s got this absolutely horrific plot but he and Ned Beatty are sort of goofing around for much of their scenes.
Kevin Spacey’s version in Superman Returns didn’t stand out to me.
Eisenberg’s wasn’t Luthor in the slightest.
I thought that cartoon show of the 90s had a spot on excellent Luthor voiced by Clancy Brown. Don’t know why they can’t do some version of that for the live action. Interestingly enough, I think Black Adam himself Dwayne The Rock would have seamlessly pulled off that type of Luthor.
