Warrior Trailer: Tom Hardy Stars in .... From the Director of Miracle

Tom Hardy (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) is actually the supporting role in Warrior, brother to Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) in this inspirational MMA boxing flick from the director of Miracle, which by itself is enough to get a lot of us in the door. From the looks of the trailer, you can expect another Miracle-like movie: It hits all the beats, and clobbers us with that inspirational music.

My guess? You’ll be a weepy mess by the end, and you’ll hate yourself for it. Hell, I got a little misty just watching the trailer, and I could give three rat shits about MMA. But, along with Nick Nolte, that is a monster goddamn cast.

Not a chance I'll be seeing this.

I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm not as sold on Tom Hardy as everyone else seems to be.

Wow. Tom Hardy looks like he's smuggling 5 other dudes' shoulder muscles in his shoulder muscles.

And what the hell did Chuck Lidell do with his mohawk? Strange as it sounds, Iceman, sometimes bleaching things is the wrong move.

Tom Hardy is one of the few actors who looks like a genuine fucking tough guy. He's like Danny Trejo, but handsome and a better actor.

Oh, Jesus. Don't tell Trejo I said that.

Oh God.

Please?

I am so lost--when did the brothers decided to fight each other? Too much, it's just too much.

I'd say this is just "The Fighter" except the two brothers fight each other but "the Fighter" was a true story. This looks like made-up MMA melodrama.

Fuck it, I'm in this for Joel Edgerton, even if I miss his round, chubby cheeks of yesteryear.

MMA = Mixed Martial Arts. it's basically the old Octagon movies where you get to kick as well as punch.

Tom Hardy as Bronson is on a different level. It's a shame that his serious work is overshadowed by his minor roles in bigger flicks.

Oh my word, the Husband is going to love this!

Mrs. Julien, have I told you today how much I love you? Happy Friday.

("whooseypoof"? Really?)

Yeah, all things connected to the octagon generally bore the living shit out of me, but would I see this movie? In a hot minute I would. The reason? Two words: Tom Hardy.
For those of you not sold on the delicious talents of Mr. Hardy, I entreat you to put BRANSON in your NetFlix queue right this very minute. The movie is -- OK, let's me honest -- pretty out there, and I imagine that not all of you will fall in love with its brutal, strange vision of the world. But, oh my jesus. Tom Hardy gives a stunning performance as Branson. I know he has no interest in girls, but I have such steamy fantasies about him. GOOD LORD, that man is all kinds of attractive. And, the shmacting? Yeah. he does that pretty well, too.

I'm in just because it looks like Tom and Joel are spending most of the movie shirtless.

I have such a crush on Joel.

Fucking hell enough of the boxing movies. It seems like every goddamn year there's some movie about two idiots who punch each other while other idiots watch and other idiots get inspired and it's just not fun anymore.
