You don't need amazing acting skills when you have masterclass charm.

I don't know but I lost a ton of money on that Sugar Bowl disaster of his. What a bloody shambles that was. You could smell the stink all the way back in bloody Wales.

Why specifically him? There's a fuckton of actors/actresses that can't act.

Like a lot of actors, he is good at being who he is. There are plenty of actors that have just as limited range. They like to go on about "sinking into roles" and stuff but most actors are hired for who they are.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Keanu has the compacity to act, give him Matrix or John Wick and you have millions of sales.

Keanu Reeves plays "Keanu Reeves". He doesn't act - people just go to see him. There are a lot of movie stars like that. Now don't get me wrong, they do have a handful of exceptional roles but for the most part you are going to know exactly what you get with them.
Not everyone is Daniel Day Lewis.

Sure, go for it. It's just weird to watch people jack off to hate. PS. I was joking.

No sir, OP. No sir. If you can't appreciate Keanu for what he does and what he brings to roles, then you need to reevaluate your life.
Im sure he would readily say he isn't an Oscar worthy actor, but that doesn't mean you can't get a total kick out of him and his performances in a tongue in cheek, little campy, little serious, little awesomely-bad, way.

He's got a weird acting style for sure, but Keanu Reeves seems most "natural" when he's talking with other actors and directors.
It's a bit dated now, but he produced a cool documentary called Side by Side (2012) about movies being increasingly filmed digitally. He has conversations with a bunch of different, good directors(except Lena Dunham lol) and gets them to open up about how cameras were changing. Anyway, it's pretty good. The whole thing is on YouTube.

The character is kinda cool but his VA is mediocre at best.
Horrible may be an exageration but i cringed every time he opened his mouth.

The character is a cringey douchebag and Keanu was just horribly miscast.

Because the art of acting is an excellent adventure. Unless you're Canadian. Then it's a bogus journey.

Can barely modulate his voice.
I love his Dracula performance. At the dinner table when Gary Oldman is all WHAARLGHGBGBHRHGH with that sword, Keanu's contrasting catatonia unironically enhances the kino.

His voice and inflection are stuck in "dude!" mode no matter how hard he tries to shake it. It's kind of magical in a strange way though. =P

You are stuck in an abandoned movie theatre.
Before you lay two tables, films piled atop both. You must choose one table.
The first table is every Oscar winner of the past 12 years. The other table is a bunch of Keanu Reeves and Nic Cage movies.
The choice is easy.

I mean, he acted like a pretty damn good hitman, and trained really hard for the role. Dude is a great shooter with tight mechanics now.
