    Superman: The Movie is the best movie despite having the worst villain. In the DC comics, Lex Luthor is a tempered villain who has spent his life humiliating Superman. Still, he was a pragmatic genius, and always ensured that his plans would yield tangible victories. However, in the original Superman series, Lex is willing to explore his country in the name of real property.

    In Richard Donner's superhero classic, Superman: The Movie and its sequels Superman II and Superman Returns, Lex becomes a get-rich-quick scammer who wants to increase his net worth through through global disasters, even if it means the end of the world. The only reason this Lex wasn't a laughing stock was because of Gene Hackman's diabolical performance.
