*POLL* Is Keanu Reeves the worst actor of his generation?

[waylman]

Im firmly in the "yes" camp.

 

[StageLeft]

iguess you haven't seen a paul walker movie

 

[eplebnista]

No.

 

[bacillus]

I vote results!

 

[PlatinumGold]

not even close. sure he's stiff, but to call him the WORST?? Paul Walker, Jean Claude Van Dam to name just TWO.

 

[Ynog]

Seriously, he may not be a good actor, but he always nailed the moron part very well.

There are far worse actors.

 

[spacejamz]

Nicholas Cage in 8mm has to be in the top 5 worst of all time....

 

[Whitecloak]

woah

Have you ever seen ben affleck act? He has a good agent and a nice wig but, dude, he's terrible! I think keanu is a smart man - when he wants to act he CAN act (see "The Gift").. Most of the time he's doing it for the paycheck and phoning in his performance.. Notice how he was pretty good for the 1st matrix? I think he was bored with the 2nd one...

Other TERRIBLE actors making money:

Any male rapper (other than Ice Cube, Will Smith... I know I'm missing one)
Martin Lawrence.. God, how I hate this man and his "acting style"
Paul Walker
That dude from the american pie movies.. Not stiffler.. not the main star and not the guy that doesn't use public bathrooms.. that guy who smiles all the time.. I hate him..

 

[Hoober]

Nah.

 

[naddicott]

Does the name Mario Van Peebles ring a bell?

Keanu Reeves is definitely in the running, however.

 

[PlatinumGold]

the fact that Keanu turned down Speed II says a lot about where his priorities are.

 

[sillymofo]

I kinda liked Bill and Ted's, and Speed is not bad either.

 

[conjur]

Ashton Kutcher
Tom Cruise

Bill & Ted was his last good movie.

 

[nativesunshine]

I don't think he's the WORST actor..but he's definitely not good.

Watched Sweet November last night...and he pretty much ruined it. It was still a good sappy love movie tho. Made me cry. heh..it was a good cry tho.

Depends if you think Freddy Prinze, Jr. is in the same generation as Keanu or not.

I don't think afleck is bad - he was good in boilerroom and goodwill hunting...

Bill & Ted is an All Time classic.

Freddy Prinze Jr. is wayyy up there with Keanu.

I think affleck only works on two modes "spoiled rich white guy" and "charming fast talker".. he doesn't have any range at all.. when he's cast according to his slimey charms (like in "Changing Lanes" - a great movie) it works. but he's terrible in stuff like Pearl Harbor

 

[RMSistight]

I think Keanu Reeves does pretty well. I mean, if the man can nail the fight scenes in Reloaded, he has my props....especially the fight scene when he takes on the Merovingian's bad boys.

I believe that Keanu was born in 1964 which makes him 39. I just can't think of anyone close to his age being worse. I see alot of bad actors being listed, but most are not in Keanu's generation.

No.
