He was a trash bane and venom was a terrible movie... again, he is a good actor but he had no classic roles
Name one timless performance of his

That's what you asked. Not the quality of his movies, or how faithful a comic book adaptation was to the source material

Get him a weird and cool jacket, plus a oddly pitched tone of voice, and he's ready to go

I like him in a lot of roles, but the above is a near staple in every Tom Hardy performance

Legend was so bad

Watch him in The Drop. It's not that hard of a role to pull off but it's different from what you described. Good movie too.

At least you didn't pick somebody trash:manny:

Bronson
Inception
Dark Knight Rises
The Drop
Legend (dude literally plays two very different twins)
The Revenant (he had a better performance than the dude who won the Oscar from the film)
Venom

These are all very different roles, that call for very different performances. I didn't mention Fury Road because it really wasn't a character driven role. Hardy's a beast. Fassbender is too. Any comparison to DeNiro or Pacino were silly in the first place because they already have decades of work, in a time where creativity and originality in filmmaking wasn't as stifled, over these guys. There haven't been any DeNiros or Pacinos since DeNiro and Pacino:yeshrug:

This.

I don't know how any that has seen his performance in The Revenant can consider Hardy overrated.

he basically plays the same character in peaky blinders and tabu.
That may be so, but Denzel and Tom Hanks are virtually the same guy in most of their films. They would never be considered overrated. I think it boils down to how the part is written...and in some cases just being type-cast.
