I loved him in Superman!

Those of us who grew up on the comic books did not like how the writer (Mario Puzo) and director had Hackman portray Luthor.

Awful.

I never read the comic, I guess it reminds me of my childhood.

Completely disagree. I loved the comics and Hackman as Luthor. He gave the character a personality, something he never had in the comics. What’s wrong with a megalomaniac who has a dry sense of humor?

It was fun. Comic book like. Bed Beatty was hilarious. Can’t go wrong with what’s her name.

I liked how he played it straight and smart and switch to comedy.

But I was young.
