oh, and i was watching a preview for one of his earlier films and you know how they pronounced him name? key new. like he knew! i died a little inside.

You seem to be upset when people perceive Keanu as ‘ a flat actor, devoid of charisma, empty of emotional depth, or not fun to watch’. That is how they perceive him. There is nothing wrong with that. Remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don’t take it the wrong way. Someone said that the debate on whether or not he is a good actor can go on forever. My point is whether an actor is good or bad is SUBJECTIVE. You can’t convince some people he is a talented performer and they can’t convince you he is bad at his craft. Do you see what I mean? It depends on how you perceive somebody. You said Orlando Bloom is ‘BLAND’, but that is okay. That is how you perceive him. Of course, his fans will disagree with you, because they don’t perceive him that way. One of my work colleagues thinks Hugh Grant acts the same way in every movie and all his characters have the same mannerisms. Again, that is how she perceives him. Some people will not share her opinion. They will say there is nothing wrong with Hugh’s acting.

Take music, for example. Whether an artist’s music is good or rubbish is subjective. You like his or her music or you don’t.

Each actor has his own style of acting. Some people like it, others don’t. I don’t pay too much attention to an actor’s style of acting because I ,too, only watch movies to be entertained. I want to be entertained. I like ‘Chain Reaction’, because it is entertaining. I think Keanu is quite wooden in this movie. He doesn’t bring much emotion into his character. But that is his style of acting, and it didn’t put me off watching the movie. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the action so much that I didn’t take any notice of Keanu’s bad perfomance the first time I saw it. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying he sucks at his craft or he can’t act. Like I said, he has done very good performances in some of his movies. And I don’t think he is always wooden. I saw him cry for the first time in ‘ the Lake House’ and I could feel his sorrow. He is very believable as the wife beater in ‘ The Gift’. I was suprised to hear that he had received positive reviews from film critics… for a change. Still, I don’t rate him a great actor. I like some of his movies. The ones I like most are ‘Speed’, ‘Point Break’, ‘The Matrix’ and ‘Matrix Reloaded’. They are in my DVD and Blu ray collection. He is more suitable for roles in action movies because he is a physical actor. You might think it is silly but I would like to see him play an American Indian in a Western movie like ‘Dances With Wolves’. With his long hair he looks like a native American. Until now I thought he was an American Indian. I didn’t know he is part Hawaiian, part English when I discovered him in ‘Speed’.

I would ignore Rick’s nonsensical comments about Keanu. Some people feel the need to make nasty comments about someone so let them. They can’t help but do it. They have a boring life so they have nothing better to do than writing stupid comments about someone they hate.

You need to grow up. What you wrote is childish nonsense.
He may be the worst actor of his generation but he doesn’t deserve all those hateful comments of yours.
I don’t think he gets his movies roles because he is good looking. He gets them because he is a big box office name.
He cannot please everybody but I don’t understand this hatred some people have for him.
