Tom Hardy is Venom (2018)

[ironwez20]

That’s old. Also bane looked underwhelming. Period. The nolanverse could of made a better bane. They did the joker so well and two face but they decided to mess up catwoman and bane .

In Hardy's words "I looked at original Latin … sort of Romany Gypsy. And there was a character, Bartley Gorman … the bare-knuckle fighter, and that's where the accent comes from that I use in the film." He was Irish. Here you go :



And thanks for pointing out that no such drug exists that can amp people up and give them superhero strength... Could've sworn I learned it was possible. I thought you could just get it from your Dr. along with the Scarecrow's fear gas. I bought some of that yesterday at Walgreens. Good schitt.

The Nolanverse tried to be more grounded. Well, Batman isn't very grounded. And many of his gadgets aren't too realistic either.

I'm not really much of a Bane fan either. But he's much more in the comics and even in Batman TAS than he is here. He's nothing more than Tali'as ***** in TDKR.

I guess like TLJ, I've hit a nerve with a TDKR fan. It's all good. We like what we like. At least we agree this Venom movie looks like a$$...

Believe me, folks think there is a drug that does everything these days....

I am in the industry.

They explained that his accent was suppose to be an amalgam of eastern Europe. Which I think he nailed.

The Nolanverse was designed to be real. Having him take a drug that amped him up physically would have been unreal since no such drug exists. Counter to what you may have heard, its not real that people can suddenly gain superhero strength due to adrenaline or PCP.

His mask was made to keep him from feeling pain. Which is very real, as the opioid epidemic proves. Its also why he loses to BM after it gets destroyed in the fight. All the pain comes back to him in a flash.

I actually hate the original Bane, he is my least favorite comic character in DC. So the change was welcome. Personally I was way more upset with the design of the Scarecrow. Who was not creepy or scarey in any way.

Than why even get into a comic book property if you won’t do it right

Interpretation?

I like what they did with Catwoman and Bane.

Two of my least favorite from the comics, became two favorites in the trilogy....

Bane was stupid. Total miscast & ****** design

Nolan Batman was so real especially when Rachel fell off a skyscraper landed on a car and brushed herself off.

Talia al Ghul death = best, most realistic death scene ever. Come at me all of you.

Isn’t it ironic that the guy who gave us Ledger Joker also gave us the worst cinematic high budget death scene.

Actually forget high budget that death is worse than even stuff from Ed Wood movies lol

Unfortunately saw the movie twice at the theatre and the audience laughed both times. Quite honestly that was the only highlight of the film cause it brought the lols. Lol

Same experience but Bane’s voice also brought the laughs as well.

Nolan knowing that Tom Hardy was only 3 foot tall so he had to amplify his voice to make up for that I mean the guys voice was louder than the planes engine with the plane door open!

I thought I read somewhere that during the test previews that so many people complained that they couldn't understand what Bane was saying at all, so Nolan's last minute fix was to just raise the volume of his speech.

Oh snap that’s right I forgot about that lol

Man I had not idea people hated TDKR...
I saw it when I was pretty much isolated from all commentary and reviews.

I still like it alot.

I never had trouble understanding him, was glad they didn’t go with the stupid wrestler , pumped up on magic juices route.

Bane in the earlier films was laughable.

Yeah it's funny that TDKR got rave critic *and* audience scores but here it gets mostly hate. I'm not saying that certain elements weren't poor like Talia's idiotic death but I still find it to be a very well done and highly watchable film.

There were things about the film I personally couldn’t take seriously. Bane was awful IMO, I couldn’t understand him. Catwoman was toleratable but not memorable. The story took place what, 7, 8 years later? The Joker didn’t even get a mention. TDK couldn’t be topped and I think that’s what destroyed TDKR overall.

Back to Venom, I like his look a lot. But I’m not getting my hopes up. I’m not a fan of Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock.

 

[guyver1]

This movie came out quickly..I think we only started hearing about it in the summer and it already releases in two weeks

 

[xipotec]

I cant help seeing Brock as retarded now...honestly I think that how they are gonna play it....maybe not actually mentally handicap, but a simpleton whol is coopted and transformed by the symbiont.....

Bane was only in one film, and yes it was horrible. Way worse than what we got in TDKR...

But Bane is not a stupid wrestler, and Luchador's can be quite respected and popular in Mexico and South America. Quite the opposite to the contrary. He was extremely intelligent and was a mastermind behind the scenes kinda guy who just happens to also be big, brutal, and a fighter. He's more like a combo of Kraven & Kingpin. Batman was his ultimate challenge. He was not even remotely Bane in TDKR.

Yeah, Nolan knew he couldn't top TDK, and the original plan was for The Joker to return in the 3rd movie, but Ledger put a kink in Nolan's plans and he had to completely rethink the final movie.

And yeah, the more I see commercials for this the worse it looks. Venom talking to the asian guy in the convenience store is laughable. Sony's hard "R", my a$$. Most likely a media campaign to get people interested. The only thing that seems would've originally made it remotely "R" would've been the violence. The tone and story still seem PG13, which most likely was always the intent so to bring in the kiddies.

Quick question...do you type that slug line out every time you reply to something? Just curious.

Lol thank you. His lines are so stupid and the way he talks sounds like he’s not all there.

I found something really bad

We can’t hurt people

Oooooo I gotta parasite

And the way he shrugs as tendrils come out his body like a simpleton

He’s comes off as an idiot
