I love this scene in the book but this is good too. Tom gets punched by Benny.

Gary is so awesome here too

While on the subject about Hardy's acting:

My god is he talented, and yet the director drained him of his emotional expressions during production.

Patrick Stewart and Tom Hardy both have much more going on with their subtext and internal monologue in the screen test.

That is absolutely a case of poor editing and direction getting in the way of the actor's performance. I'm certain they had similar dynamics as the screen test in other takes, but the editor (or director or even studio) chose the takes with the least interesting flow to the scene for the film; playing up the villainy and naivety of Tom Hardy's character and Picard's standard hero complex. The moral ambiguity of both characters was much more complex in the original.

Hopefully it should go without saying Bane will break out of prison but which prison will it be? Has there been set reports of a South American looking prison? I heard rumors of a Siberian POW camp...

I couldn't agree more. The character Shinzon was deprived of a much more meaningful representation. The director or studio clearly did not want a villain with complexity and emotion. They decided to go with the cliche "good guy vs bad guy" story arc. Shame really, there was alot of potential here. Shinzon could have been a villain of a different image and philosophy (the same way Ra's al Ghul was viewed in context). Instead, they opted out and it proved to be a deathblow for the film.

QFT.

Tom Hardy was trying to give them a complex character, but all they wanted was a mustache twirler. If they'd let him handle the character the way that he was doing in that screen test, Nemesis could have been much more than just a very weak rehash of the Wrath of Khan.

Just saw Warrior last night and I have to say it was an amazing film and performance. I liked it equally to The Fighter for they're both two different kinds of films, with different directions. Tom was super fierce and a true badass in this film and was a physically menacing presence, everytime he got in the ring you knew he would destroy.

As for Toms size how I truly wish he kept up with it for Bane he was friggin huge and his traps bulged like he was a monster. For me being one of the posters here not happy with Toms muscular size as Bane, I was severely impressed with his size in Warrior.

Its definintely a must see!

...he's bigger now than he was in Warrior. Albeit he might not be as cut or defined, but Bane is supposed to be big.

i dont he is bigger.actors sometimes lie that they are bigger then before. i am looking at the pics and i think even with more fat he is not bigger then in Warrior where he had a fantastic definition.

to bad they didnt give him more time.

nice spelling man!

You didn't start your sentence with a capital letter, your opinion is invalid.

 

[Hype_the_Hero]

compared to that **** spelling of a possible 6 year old or a drunken fool, it doesn't matter

 

[HighFivingMF]

I do believe he's stated English isn't his first language.

dark_b isn't a native English speaker, he's been here far longer than you have, and tends to make intelligent points with well thought-out, reasonable opinions.

Grow up.

 

[Hype_the_Hero]

yes, seniority... how could i forget

And why is it your concern? Maybe it's just a slow day for you....

Here's a nice example of the current quality of discussion on the Hype, whereas posters with things actually constructive to say are dropping like flies.

Ugh. I'm out.

what could be said about Tom Hardy as Bane that hasn't been said already? this forum is full of people with constructive things to say, it's just we need official news for it to be said... so in the mean time you get guys like me who point people out, so relax.. and stay

Actually, yes, it does matter. Don't get all grammar nazi at someone if you can't even properly start and finish a sentence. Point your finger at someone over an issue like that (while not even practicing first grade level grammar yourself) and you'll have three pointing back at you.

I'll never fathom that decision. Although Hardy's performance was still enticing, the direction singlehandedly ruined the actor's hard work. Shinzon could have been a memorable character/villain in the Star Trek universe.

Ugh, I'll never understand studio executives. They're greedy and doltish scumbags.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Seems like you guys are more interested in arguing about spelling and grammar than discussing Hardys amazing performance in Warrior. Lol

By the way Hardy is not as big now as he was in Warrior, anyone thats seen the film can and will most likely agree with me.

 

[regwec]

It doesn't matter; Nolan will have Hardy's Bane given massive forearms in post-production, once he gulps down huge cans of CGI spinach.
