I feel like that's largely down to the directorial decision to make him moody and emo. When he gets to actually act, he sells it - the final scene with Zod,for example, was just an awesome, powerful, emotional moment. I dislike Superman with a passion as a character, and hate his presence in the Justice League, but I'm still sorry that Cavill didn't get to play him properly, because he seems a perfect fit for the role.
I've circled around on Man of Steel. Yeah, Justice League is still garbo, but there are some genuinely great moments in Man of Steel - I especially love the Russell Crowe speech about how he can save them, he can save all of them.
I was on an airplane back from France at one point with 12 hours to kill, so I started searching through the movies they had on to see if I could find some that would be funny to watch in a french dub, and justice league did not disappoint for that purpose.
There is nothing like seeing henry cavill turn to camera and
"hon hon monseiur
le sup sont comme un petit chou-fleur oui oui!" *disconcerting CGI mustache-flesh wobble*
I stuffed that into google translate and got '<garbled> (possibly superman) is like a little cauliflower, yes, yes'
What's the context for that line?
Oh, it wasn't a real french line from the film, I don't speak french. If you want to get technical it was a reference to an old bloom county comic where an old man charms his way into getting to rent a room in a boarding house by kissing a lady's hand and saying "your earlobes are like fish heads, my little cauliflower" in french.
