I certainly had an easier time believing Laurence Luckinbill was Leonard Nimoy’s half-brother than I did believing that Tom Hardy was Patrick Stewart’s clone.
He was fine in terms of performance because he’s a decent actor, he just did not in any way convince me he was a Picard clone. You could claim that this was because of his time with the Remans or whatever, but it just seemed like a needless plot idea that just didn’t work. In fact, if Shinzon was just a rebel Romulan, it might have been a better movie.
First time I ever watched it I completely missed that he was supposed to be Picard. He was just an annoying bad guy to me. He just does not look or act like him at all. Great actor. Wrong part.

Thank you for saying that! When Nemesis came out and for years afterwards people praised Tom Hardy. I seemed to be the only one who disliked it.
