Tom Hardy transformed as Bane

There was something deeply disturbing about Tom Hardy's portrayal of villain Bane in 'The Dark Knight Rises', which I saw last night.

At one point, I was very close to getting up and walking out of the cinema.

I think it was the fact that his face was largely covered by a mask and his eyes seemed to contain no humanity. Of course, there's a point later in the film where his eyes convey everything. It was a deeply disturbing transformation of a very good looking young man into a demon. Great acting, too.
