    It’s not very challenging to make a list of things that can act better than Keanu.

    May not be challenging but it’s still fun.

    1) A beheaded chicken.

    2) A mad cow.

    3) Tony Danza.

    4) Michael Bolton “fans.”

    5) People who say “It’s not you, it’s me.”

    I just want a general concensus…how many people here think CATS can act better then Keanu? I’d like to see them do an acting duel.

    “All your base are belong to us!”
    “Woah.”
    “You are on the way to destruction.”
    “Woah.”
    “You have no chance to survive make your time.”
    “Woah.”

    …and now i wonder who says ‘woah’ better: Keanu, or Joey Lawrence.

    Oh please, so he’s as dumb as a brick, he makes nice eye candy. If I can put up with bimbo starlets who couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag, then y’all can put up with keanu.

    Come on, all you Reeves bashers!

    Did you not witness his fantastical performance as the title character,Ted, in the American cinema classics, “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey”? Being the established thespian Mr. Reeves is, I still cannot comprehend how he could have so realistically portrayed a lazy, stoned, rock-star wannabe. That’s true acting talent for you.

    >tu peux parler francais ?

    Even people who don’t speak more than 10 words of French could know the meaning or usage of the word ‘bourgeois’. Specially, mr. Kim, what with his secret plans to build a Worker’s utopia constructed by the Proletariat’s will and sweat upon the bones and ashes of the Opressive Bourgeois. The ways of the Capitalist pigs are dead, embrace Kimism! Viva la Revolucion, putos!

    That, or he could indeed have taken French in HS.

    >then y’all can put up with keanu.

    Indeed! The first step toward equality of the sexes that the vast majority of us, as a race care more for looks than acting, media-wise. :p

    >Pass.
    Any more proof that master Chen plainly and rather simply kicks ass? Also, the panel where Hyung throws the gun, you know the one with the shoes and the apron, looks really cool.

    Oh, and all the people who are down on Keanu being Neo : you DO realize both Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith were up for the roles, right? I’m sorry, but I’ll take Kaenu over either of those guys any time of day (yeah, Smith can act, but he always acts like Will Smith).

    Hey nice splash page!

    You know, Matrix Reloaded was rated ‘M’ in Australia. Personally I think that an ‘R’ rating was a bit over the top.

    I’d just like to point out …

    Texas Man discoveres that personal choices made by a person reflects their character.

    Wow, by looking at someone’s music you can judge their character. This is so mindnumbingly amazing, I had never thought such things could be true. Next they’ll be telling me that anal-ysing my porn viewing habits they can tell whether I’m an ass or tits man.

    Professor Jackob Banana Man 16 Acacia Avenue says “It’s like a Sexuality Litmus paper at one end you have tits, in the middle you have ass and at the far end you have seriously fucked up.”

    Why do idiots like this Texas man get given money to do worthless things whilst I have to do worthless things off my own back, I could even come up with papers citing obvious and well known facts.

    Doctor of Physics, Dr. Glenice Runcy-Lee, publishes revolutionary paper showing that 90% of all Non- Americans with 1 or more breasts are probably Female.

    Academia… they have to publish or no degree, no tenure, etc…

    Even mediocre people have to eat.

    Anybody see “The Eye?”
    Fun movie, kinda peters out onthe last third, but very enjoyable.

    I have proof that Keanu Reeves can act! Go rent ‘Johnny Mnemonic’.

    Once again, Chen kicks my ass.

    Still no rave/orgy. Disappointing, in a relieving kind of way.

    Watching his ‘Hamlet’ made me want to eat my face, but it was mildly entertaining - seeing his struggle to avoid sounding like a Valley dude partially made up for the horror.

    (It wasn’t a voluntary viewing - his high school drama teacher suckered us into seeing it. The things we do for extra credit…)

    Oi, i just gave HS Kim some money, i think you all should do the same. Even though he’s a hack. ;D

    Keanu just has this horribly flat voice. Listen to him dubbed and he doesn’t seem like such a bad actor

    Nestor | Email | Homepage | 07.14.03 - 3:10 pm | #

    Speaking on how bad Keanu’s acting is, you do know that 25% of Neo in Matrix Reloaded was CGI, and looked a hell of a lot better than the real thing, though made the movie feel like it was on the Xbox.

    hehehe

    if you think of it as a game and not a movie

    its really quite good

    a bit short though…

    Man, everyone is so rough on Reloaded! It wasn’t that bad a movie! It had some great action sequences, a fantastic car chase, Neo did some cool stuff, Agent Smith was cool like usual, and we were left with a cliffhanger ending while humanity is about to be shaken, not stirred. As far as I can see, everyone’s just jumping on some bandwagon since it’s popular to put Reloaded down.

    No, Reloaded was not anywhere as good storywise as the original. And no, Keanu Reeves is no Tom Hanks when it comes to acting. But Keanu’s acting isn’t any different than his original acting on the first movie so this is a four-year-old running gag. And Reloaded is an incomplete movie without Revolutions since it was a “to be continued”, so I’m waiting until November before I make my final assessment on its plot. I think part of the reason people had a problem with Reloaded was also the fact that the damn commercials gave away every cool visual in the movie =P, so there were no real surprises for anyone in that department. And personally, I like the premise the plot presents where “despite having choices, you don’t really have any choices in your life because people more powerful than you are in control”, it’s very much like modern society where suckers like you and me think we have “freedom” but actually are just rats in a maze being directed by our government or the media or any other number of organizations. It was just too heady a topic for most people to grasp is all, so people respond with “this sucks” instead.

    If you want to discuss bad movies, discuss Jeepers Creepers or LXG or Dreamcatcher or Steel or Mortal Kombat 2 any other number of horrifically bad movies. But the truth is Reloaded was NOT that bad.

    I thought it had a good script that could have been better had they not made certain decisions with visuals. Sure, the scenes were cool, but they used 3D imaging, a la Final Fantasy-caliber, in parts of the movie where is wasn’t necessary.
