First of all, you have the Superman II lex Luthor actor which has one of the most epic ending climax in superhero films ever made, imo. Which I would rate a 9. Then also, superman returns with kevin spacey also. Which I haven't seen.
so how would you rate the acting by actors that have played lex Luthor. Gene Hackman, 9 or 10 probably. |

Gene Hackman was really good, Kevin Spacey looked like he was having fun with it.
The best Luthors for my money are in animated form. I thought Jesse Eisenberg was terrible though, one of the worst casting decisions of the decade.

I only liked Gene Hackman but I don’t think Luthor translates well to movies.
Hackman’s worked well because it wasn’t really like Lex Luthor at all.

As far as I myself am concerned, Gene Hackman is and always will be the Number 1 Best "Lex Luthor".
Gene Hackman - 10/10
John Shea - 9/10
Kevin Spacey - 7/10
Jesse Eisenberg - 4/10

Not a fan of Hackman's characterization in the Reeve movies, but Hackman's acting isn't terrible. So a 6/10.
Kevin Spacey was pitch perfect casting in Superman Returns but he's saddled with a lame plan. 7/10 for casting though.
Jesse Eisenberg could had been interesting, and I was not against the casting when it was first announced. But his portrayal was terrible. He's going full Schumacher with it and not holding back, I'll say that. 3/10.
Thus far the best one we've had was Clancy Brown except he was voicing an animated version.

The Animated Series version of the character is excellent - 9/10 Bryan Cranston is also one of the best in All-Star Superman, though I dislike the movie. |

I liked Hackman and Spacey about the same in the role. Eisenberg was okay in a very different take on the character. John Shea, who played Luthor on "Lois and Clark" was probably my favorite live-action Lex Luthor. The show quickly went downhill after he got written out of the show.

I was about to say. Smallville isn’t aging well and it’s campy as hell but his performance as Luthor was fan-freakin-tastic. |
