Actors who are worse than Keanu Reeves

[The Shape]

Keanu was pretty good in The Devil's Advocate. But I haven't really seen a performance of his where I was totally blown away. There are still tons that are much worse than him.

His best performance was clearly Bill & Ted

Yeah, but that wasn't acting. That was just him.

people say that about Neo as well and they're very different characters

Yeah, I want to know how people ACTUALLY know what Keanu is like in real life. Unless you've actually met the guy, I don't think you can say for sure that he "acts just like Ted" or Neo, or whoever. He might, but I honestly have no idea. And you can't base this on whether or not you've seen him in interviews. People tend to act very differently if they know everything they say is being recorded.

Johnny Depp is the best at this, every public appearance he appears so quiet and mysterious that it helps his performance and when you see how outlandish he acts in pirates or willy wonka you think wow thats an incredible performance because he's so quiet in real life.

it doesn't excuse the mahogany which took his place in the trilogy

it kinda does when other great actors like Ewan McGregor, Sam Jackson, Terence Stamp and Natalie Portman were just as bad as him.

blame the bad acting on Lucas' non-direction.

The ginger bloke who is the head of the team in CSI: Miami.

There are no words for how awful and wooden that guy is.

Keanu Reeves is in no way the worst actor ever. I enjoy Keanu movies. Even if his performance isn't spectacular, he is still enjoyable to watch (Little Buddha) But he did really well in Devil's Advocate, The Gift, and Matrix. He is no worse than any action star in Speed, and his immortal performance as Ted is hilarious.

Props to Keanu, who from what I know and have heard, is an extremely nice person in real life.

I dont think it his non-direction as much as his inability to write a decent script/dialogue.

He's apparently had it rough recently, too. If I remember right, his kid died, and then a few months later his girlfriend (whom he had the kid with) was killed. Regardless of whether he's a good actor or not, you gotta give the guy credit for being able to pick up after something like that.

I also think a family member of his was really sick (possibly cancer, I'm not sure) and he gave all his makings from the matrix sequels in order to help them.

 

[Majik1387]

Wow, poor guy.
I really don't think he's that bad an actor as some might think.

i thought ewan mcgregor was the only one who gave a half decent performance.

I blame the entire falseness of green screen

Am I the only one who thinks that somewhere there's a Star Wars outtake where Ewan Macgregor breaks character, falls to his knees and screams "I DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS POORLY WRITTEN CRAP!!!!!"?

 

[gvcool2]

ye it's in the special Mcgregor Cut Edition thats being released at christmas

 

[That-Guy]

lol

 

[War Lord]

Shouldn't this be one of the shortest threads in the Hype with just two or three names?

 

[jks]

Uh hello people, actors worse than keannu?



Alex Winters.

At least keannu got work after bill and ted.

 

[Max J Power]

Watch any teen comedy or drama or any mindless action movie and you can find worse actors than Keanu Reeves.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, here are a few other Abominations of Acting:

Ali Larter
Jessica Alba (I know, I know, she's hot... but she can't act for sh**)
JON BON JOVI
Tom Welling
Jonathan Taylor Thomas

 

[The Chairman]

Jessica Alba (I know, I know, she's hot... but she can't act for sh**)

Agreed. She is by far the worst mainstream actress working today. She has no charisma or presence and is just there as eye candy. I think she's overrated lookswise as well.

If we can throw in other female actresses in the ring, I think Katie Holmes and Sarah Michelle Gellar, to name two off the top of my head, also deserve their names thrown out.

smg was pretty good as buffy imo
