There was a bit of a reaction to this in the theater I was in.I feel at least for this film; it highlighted Clark's feelings over "what should I be doing in light of this?" part of the story. This change also solidified the bonds Clark has with his adoptive parents, which we had a terribly small amount of screen time on.One other brief thought was for future films, it's a plausible avenue to explain attitudes other Kryptonians may have, should they make an appearance.Everyone who I went with, felt he was pretty mighty. However, they hadn't seen any of the MCU/DC movies. Their knowledge of comic book heroes have been word of mouth from peers, or what they've happened to pick up online.Hoult placed his impression on that character. This Luthor come across as more relatable in the sense of the following. Someone had mentioned the roulette scene as being a turning point. What I felt was just as effective wasn't necessarily so much what Luthor said or did, but us seeing the fallout in the smaller bits: how he treats former lovers, how his employees respond having to scramble to pick up pencils off the ground, Luthor's riff off monkeys-typing-Shakespeare-- sure, he's brilliant enough to have devised a better method that would cost less, but he's so petty and chooses this way instead, his utter callousness towards the people of Metropolis, etc.As one character quipped at the end, everyone hates or can't stand Lex Luthor. Anyone who has worked, knows that guy on screen.Agree there've been many excellent Luthors; I've liked the animated Lex Luthor. Any number of these would be difficult to surpass.</blockquote>
