Why does everyone dump on Keanu Reeves' acting ability?

[brigden]

Speed is on FOX. I think he's a convincing actor. Granted, his voice is a little monotone.

 

[ohtwell]

Probably because of his Bill and Ted character. That's all people see him as now.

He's not bad. He's just not very good.

his most memorable line is: whoa

go figure

 

[Kadarin]

He's just not a good actor. BadDaddy's right, it's not that he's that bad.. (think Steven Seagal)

 

[pulse8]

He's pretty bad.

And I think his best acting role WAS Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.

If you look up monotone in the dictionary his picture and bio will be right next to it.

 

[ThePresence]

He doesn't have much acting ability. He LOOKS like he's acting. Very unconvincing.

 

[CanOWorms]

Some people think that he's been a good actor in some roles. It's probably because they weren't very famous roles or anything. People just remember the guy from Speed, Matrix, Bill and Ted. At least he doesn't pretend he's a great actor.

I don't think he is any worse than Christopher Walken or other similar role actors. Reeves doesn't have the range of the really good ones.

WTF? Have you seen Deer Hunter??

He's apparently a real cool guy though, so i don't really care if he can't act. I think someone once posted an article here that said he gave away a lot of his money from the Matrix movies.

Christopher Walken is a hoot. He's got to be the quirkiest actor in Hollywood!

And the Rundown had to be one of the worst written movies I've ever seen. Not saying it was walken's fault, mind you, but he really whored himself out - even for him.

Yeah, whether or not he's a good actor, I hear he's a really nice and generous person with his money, so at least he's not a jerk.

the guy is emotionless, my wall acts better than he does
