Yeah that was one of my personal greatest disappointments. Kevin Spacey was channeling too much of Gene Hackman and not making the role his own. I would have liked it had Lex been his more modern corporate tycoon/super genius. You never get a sense that Lex has any real place in Metropolis at all. He doesn't dominate the city...and the real estate schemer thing is just meh. The movie version of Lex is often dismissed by the characters in the film as nothing more than a common thug. He swindles an old woman to inherit her families fortune (I actually think this is one thing Lex would do if required).
