The acting (especially Hardy) was much better in the screen test than the actual footage.

It´s pretty clear after looking at this that much of Bane´s character in TDKR is Hardy rather than actor direction by Nolan. I heard Nemesis is awful and hadn't planned on seeing it, but now I'm curious.

Hardy has been one of my favorites for the past several years. He is an amazing actor. Watch Wuthering Heights or Oliver Twist and you'll see.

Sometimes directors (see whoever directed Nemesis) get in the way of good actors and reduce their potential performance.

Leave Hardy alone and you'll see an amazing performance.

I was going to say the same thing. The screentest was excellent.

Nemesis was an embarrassment. Primarily because whoever wrote the screenplay (I believe Brent Spiner had a lot of influence on it or even wrote it himself), they wanted to recreate the Wrath of Khan for TNG era. It was completely, obviously a failed attempt to harken back to the blockbuster day of Star Trek film, and was so amateurishly crafted that it was obviously a thinly veiled rewrite of ST2's plot in a TNG skin. You did well to avoid it.

Wow, the screen test was way better. The few line changes in the final were also worse.

It's the goofy ass "alien" costume that ruins it for me. In the screen test hes got the leather jacket, but in the real scene he's got this goofy ass clown costume.

You just can't take him seriously.

This explains everything

Don't bother. It is horrible. Two words that don't belong anywhere near Star Treks should be all I have to say: dune buggy.

I like how the opening lighting and camera work looks like a Star Trek Daytime Soap Opera

There's something alien-like about Tom Hardy's face.

If you get the chance, check out Hardy in Bronson, the biopic of Charles Bronson (the psychopath, not the actor). Brilliant stuff.

I think the acting in the actual film is better in that it seems more alien. However, the test's script and especially costumes are a lot better, which doesn't say much as presumably the costumes where picked out in a couple of minutes, if not what the actors happened to be wearing!

nemesis was fine as an "epic episode".. not quite so much as a movie. Although it beat out Insurrection easily. ANY star trek fan would be doing themselves a disservice to just skip over it.

As for the first comment.. lets just say for as many people who thought the screen test was better, there are just as many who think the final cut was better. The thing is they were both great.

Someones been working out.
