Why cant we be more like Keanu Reeves?

Hot Take.

Keanu Reeves, as far as acting ability. Quite possibly the most over rated actor in all of Hollywood

LOl, you might be right. Im more interested in the person, not the actor. But I wouldn’t say you’re wrong lol

Really? The most? Not dwayne ā€œthe same characterā€ johnson? Not nicholas cage? whose overacting is only endearing 10% of the time?

Dwayne Johnson isn’t typically regarded in the same high esteem as Reeves imho. But thats subjective.

Nicholas Cage won an Oscar in 1996 (Leaving LV), and was nominated again in 2003 (Adaptation).

Keanu Reeves has been in 77+ movies without ever getting a nomination. And as far as ā€œsame characterā€. Thats basically Reeves for a movie to be successful.

ā€œOk Keanu. We need you to basically not ever talk. Do not even try to act. And do some action scenesā€.

(see : Matrix, and John Wick)

Edit : BTW, I say this while I completely loved Matrix and John Wick.

good argument. You might be right too :wink:

He’s even in the game!

Award does not equal ability. Leonardo dicaprio was a meme before he won. He is not overrated.

This is ALL subjective. Opinionate away

Oh I am not even talking about winning, though. He hasn’t even been nominated.

At no point, in the nearly 80 movies Keanu has participated in…did a group of people see his acting ability and just be ā€œwell, he should at least be in the conversationā€.

Edit : I should add in a disclaimer. The words ā€œKeanuā€ and ā€œReevesā€ have been banned from my guild, due to how I go on rants concerning him.

Fair. Nicholas cage has made a handful of good movies and a slew of ā€œdude, are you okay?ā€ Movies.

He is completely overrated

Oh I agree he is also over rated. I was just giving him a slight nod in being slightly less over rated due to actually once or twice in his life putting together a good acting performance.

Adaptation is legit a great performance btw. I think he used up all his ability to make that one great movie.

Ive never cringed at a reeve movie. Even bill and ted isnt bad in context

Well, to be honest, ā€œHollywoodā€ is more interested in box office than acting ability. There are fewer bankable stars who are also great actors than there are lesser-skilled ones who bring in the bucks.

He’s not a bad actor, he’s just terrible with money, so he sometimes takes on some awful roles.

I disagree about the actor part

I’ll watch the movie tonight and get back with you I’ve never seen it. It does look to be not the greatest

Bringing out the Dead was brilliant, as well as his performance.

That’s fine but his ability in ghostrider kickeass, national treasure… Gone in 60 seconds… Yes a lot of the plots were bad but his line deliveries equally bad

He is a kitchy actor. It’s very hit and miss

Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Probably a solid 7 outta 10?

TBH everything besides the acting in it is really well done. Music, costume, etc. But yeah, it had some…moments.

Everything but what’s important huh? Lol I don’t know why I’ve never seen it I’m usually into the genre
