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.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

I just watched Goodfellows. I expect that one will be hard to actively dislike.

Typo or a remake of Goodfellas without Joe Pesci?

With some major crossovers from various Jane Austin characters.
But they still had Joe Pesci in it.
