Didn't understand this thread when it was made....don't understand it now....don't think everybody loves him........everybody kind of tolerates him and accepts his many limitations........and sort of loves John Wick He's about to turn 60 ffs ......... Keanu is still hot at 60. The majority would love to look like that at that age. Oh I'm sure that's true ........ and if that's what the thread said I' get it .......but the thread was about his acting and he's a very limited actor and he's not going to get less limited at 60 is he? .........comes across as nice guy though .......he's hard to hate...... he seems to know exactly what he is.........and that's ok...........

No one thinks he's the greatest actor on earth - you saw Christopher Hampton thought Frears had lost his mind when he hired him - but he is a beautiful man and, by all accounts, is genuinely sweet. You know girls would fall for him really easily. My gf LITERALLY described him as having "cupcake" eyes........awwwww .......

Ehh...we've had this discussion about a million times already, but Keanu is no more limited an actor to me than Clint Eastwood or John Wayne, who regularly pop up in "Greatest Actor Of All Time" lists.. And I think he's a better actor than Gary Cooper, who has two Best Actor Oscars, but I always found wooden and stiff as a board.
Keanu is arguably the greatest action actor on the planet and a very good comedic actor ( Bill And Ted ). I think there have been far less deserving talents than him to win Oscars. I still think that if he hooks up with the right auteur (Aronofsky, or someone like that), he has what it takes to give a performance that can win an Oscar.
I'm actually betting that he does just that in the next decade. Let's see....

I was very on the fence about Keanu's work in the 90's . He was good in some things, but when he went too far afield, could struggle. He was out of his depth in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Much Ado About Nothing.
But I started to buy into him with The Devil's Advocate. He was actually pretty aces in that. And to go toe to toe with Al Pacino in his full scenery chewing prime and not only survive, but hold his own...impressive.

In 20 years time, Keanu will be treated with similar reverence to other allegedly "limited" icons like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. He's not far off fron being treated like that these days. But he's definitely on that trajectory.

Guys who knew what they were great at, stuck to it, called limited, but somehow nobody else could do what they did for decades to the same level. I think Keanu would take that. If you told me after seeing him in Bram Stoker's Dracula that he had a chance of going down as a legendary movie star and an icon of cinema comparable to those titans, I'd have laughed in your face. But here we are.

I don't care what you think But I started this thread, and you are the one yapping about why you didn't get why it was made to begin with yadda yadda yadda, so I'm defending my thread and my position....from you. If are tired and have said all you have to say, don't let me stop you from finding something else to do with your day. PS; I don't give s shit what movies Cooper made. I've been saying he's incredibly overrated actor for over 20 years, so I'm not going to stop now. His acting just doesn't hold up, even if some of the films around him do. Probably the most overrated actor of the classic era. Kevin Costner is a far better actor than Cooper also.

Everything is starting to make sense now * He joined IMDB in November 2003 under THAT name - he had A LOT of other names and sock accounts - (see the date below) - so basically he's like 3 days younger than me ffs - except he doesn't like any cool bands and stuff......him and chuck became lovers shortly thereafter ....... * Pup was wrong about this post below btw....Denzel wasn't the frontrunner......Denzel wasn't nominated......but Rylance got DOUBLE nominated and won his 3rd Tony in Support.........and Cranston won in Lead .......

Jesus Christ, how many of you fucking idiots ( you too mhynson27, since he made sure I can see you, ya desperate attention seeker) are genuinely obsessed by me? . You act like a bunch of teenage girls desperate for a hot boy's attention. And you actually think it makes you look good . Even the fuckwits I block/mute can't seem to do anything with their day other than think about me. It's actually quite fucking scary and pathetic, and like I've said before, thank fucking God for internet anonimity, because anyone who thinks it's a flex to save hundreds/thousands of messages of an individual internet poster's messages on their harddrive , definitely has Unabomber/Stalker tendencies.Get a life Fellas. The topic is Keanu Reeves. Not " Pupdurcs: We Can't Stop Thinking About Your Sweet, sweet ass. Please Don't Ignore Us . Talk movies. Talk actors. Get on with your lives in peace, as meaningless as they may be. I'm not important enough for you to spend this much of your limited brainpower on. I'm just a regular ass dude, like y'all. And that isn't me being humble either. I just find it bizarre.

Anyway, hopefully getting this thread back on topic, because the tried and tested tactic of my obsessed cholo dude-watchers (or whatever they are) to ruin and derail my threads by making it about me, instead of the actual subject at hand is all too obvious and predictable at this point.
Old Tweet, but still just as relevant today. I honestly think Keanu, if he doesn't stumble his way into the right role/auteur and win a competitive Oscar, is almost certainly going to win an honorary Oscar one day ( like another iconic action legend, Jackie Chan). His consistent contributions to the film industry and action cinema in particular are enormous. Looking forward to seeing him get all the lifetime achievement accolades he so richly deserves.
