How does someone so boring become attracted to acting anyway? Paris was so wimpy and annoying in Troy but that may have been a trait of the character Paris but that doesn't mean Orlando should walk, talk, and have the same expressions for every character. That's a sure way to get typecasted.</p> Why choose such a bland actor to play a PIRATE? he has no depth…is he acting himself in every movie? it’s laughable to imagine him with a different accent in a movie.

I enjoy Tolkein and recently watched the Ring trilogy, and will say up front that Legolas ended up edging the others out as my favorite character – but then I’ve always liked elves.

The key may have been that I wasn’t expecting anything great, so I ended up pleasantly surprised that it was as enjoyable as it was. But the blandness thing.. I confess that it is a curiosity and am not sure if there’s anything to be done to correct it. Keanu Reeves and Orlando Bloom – the opposing ends of the spectrum – cosmic balance maybe?

But whatever it is that Keanu Reeves has it seems that Orlando Bloom does not. Something innate. So I’ll fall back on cosmic balance – for every Keanu there must be an Orlando.

It aggravates my sense of fairness, to compare these two.

I want to like the guy, I guess I do like the guy.

Maybe his day just hasn’t come yet..

Fame happened way to fast for him, LOTR and POTC cast the spot light on him and fangurls went nuts, but he has not really earned it yet, he's still too green and was'nt ready for leading roles. If he wants to last he needs to hire new reps and do smaller films, be the costar and study more. He does have potential to earn great stardom if he does'nt blow himself out too quickly.</p> Oh, Orlando has charisma (sometimes) but I think he’s just way too GREEN.
