you mean look "stupid" as in a CGI-blob arch villain with a dangling "Ball Sack of a Chin" who changes color and facial features per movie? BEWARE graphic aging process depicted: Answer NO: Black Manta looks awesome and old school...and REAL! 
All Hail the Black Manta! |

No. I'm glad they kept his classic look.

I'll bite. No, I don't think so. I'd go so far as to say I think he looks badass. Why do you think he looks stupid? He looks like Stewie Griffin got pepper sprayed on the way to the Dr Who convention. 
Name a few villains who you think look dumber.
like this?  D'OH-NUT!!! |

Since the dawn of comic book geekdom, there has been two types of people in this world. Black Manta fetishists and those who think the character needs to take a serious look at his life and fashion choices.
The costume is a bit too padded for me, but otherwise, it looks fine. I just wish that flexing gesture wasn't needed to activate the laser gag. Looks like old-man Manta got in a little too much Tae Bo with Billy Blanks after its heyday.

Impressive, you did a better superimposition job than they did in Infinity War with Bruces head sticking out the Hulkbuster, remember " Hahahah, you guys are so screwed now!" at 2:44 Most unimpressive, them, not you. |

Classic look Black Manta is great... Mamoa in the orange and green not so much.

Can't believe I'm saying this but the original look they had in BvS fits Jason Momoa better. I'm normally all about original looks, but  vs  Jason just looks better in the first. |

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin takes that title.
You know you done fuck up when Power Ranger Green Goblin from Spider-Man 1 looked more intimidating.

Nah he looks pretty good. I wish the MCU would stay comic accurate when it comes to their villains to be honest.

Jesus Christ I completely forgotten about how horrible "Doom" looked in that movie. I take back my previous statement. I rather be locked in a room with Sting Goblin than have to deal with Gak Attack C3PO here. |

When Black Manta is voiced by Ted Cassidy he is DAMN COOL.

I wont deny that there's a silliness to the big ass head part of the costume. But when you know his story and know what he can do with that costume it turns out okay.
If you really think about it they all look kinda silly. I mean what's so scary about a skinny clown? And yet Joker is one of the most popular villains!

No. Thread win. I even sort of expected him to request teepee at one point in that movie. |

I'm glad that the movie version looks pretty much exactly like his comic counterpart. I had a strong feeling that they were gonna wimp out and make him more "practical looking" or whatever but they didn't. The large helmet does look kind of silly, I suppose, but it's fits his character and gives him a distinctive look. If they had made it smaller, then he would have resembled too many other movie characters and wouldn't stand out as much.
As for him being the stupidest looking villain, not at all. As others have already pointed out, the Goblin from Amazing Spider-Man 2 probably holds that title. He looked like the love child of Beavis and Billy Idol, crossed with one of those 90's troll dolls. I would also say that Galactus from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Parallax from Green Lantern are strong contenders. Oh, and The Rhino, also from Amazing Spider-Man 2.
