<p>such an Oscar snub, extremely powerful performance, especially in his physicality.</p>

<p>Purely iconic, so imposing, yet a Winston Churchill level orator? It’s so awesome. Every line is memorable and quotable in its delivery.</p>

<p>Not for one minute of Tom Hardy driving a car and taking phone calls am I bored. So magnetic, only a few stars could pull this off and he's one of them.</p>

Kind of the break out role. While you really only get 10 minutes of scene stealing here, the magnetic charm which defines his career is on full display, against Leo no less. Its the James Bond role we never got.

Carefully crafted presence. Mad Max: Fury Road is so great for the surrounding elements, but Tom doesn't let you forget who "Mad Max" is, while also not taking priority away from the many other things that make this one great.

The "actor" role. Such a weird, imposing, artsy performance here, that is well-executed and puts Hardy on the map in a prominent way.

Always have appreciated this performance. It takes a rare backseat here for Leo's Academy year, but nonetheless, still integral.

This movie is just awesome, and only because Hardy is going for it in every single scene. It's amazing that Tom Hardy's passion project is Venom.

Not a ton of screentime, and most of it is in the cockpit with a mask on, however, Hardy is still able to convey the desperation and bravery personified by the events in Dunkirk in such a way that it’s not out of line to say that you connect with him the most in this one.<br>

Late stage return to dramatic roles for Tom following the Venom franchise and it is decent. Nothing particularly crazy, he is more of a supporting character in this, but nonetheless a hopeful appetizer to a return to dramatic storytelling for Tom.

The brooklynite Tom Hardy. Kind of a cool, reserved performance here. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely interesting.

It’s cool. I mean him playing both twins is pretty crazy and a tough undertaking for anyone. Especially when both of them are leads. Hardy does a really good job of distinguishing them with their own unique personas, and helping you (for the most part) believe they’re two different people. Still a bit weird at times though.

Not too much to take away from this one except Hardy is uniquely charming here, a bit of a different look than some of his later performances.

Maybe a theme of his earlier career in the way he exuded much more traditional charm in his roles. Black Hawk Down is one of those films with a MLB team roster worth of talent, leaving not much screentime for many involved. But I think Hardy leaves a lasting impression in what is essentially his major debut.<br>

Hardy again is having fun, and it’s impossible to be upset with that. However, most of the charm and excitement associated with the first one gets a bit exhausted here.

Not bad. Just a very rare, forgettable performance.
