Has Your Opinion Of Keanu Reeves Changed Since "THE MATRIX"?

[Jerk Shapiro]

So here's the Question:

Did your opinion of Keanu change after you saw THE MATRIX. Why, how, in what ways?

Mine did, I guess. I never respected Keanu before The Matrix. Then I saw him in it. I had just a teeny bit more respect for him. Saw his range as an actor. Not just a person talking on screen.

I still don't like him much, just, more than I did before THE MATRIX.

I loved him Point Break, and that was maybe it before The Matrix. But i think he still did a good job acting in the Matrix. It's not like i couldn't watch it b/c he sucked like some people act. He did fine. And i'm sure he's gonna be good in the next two

I haven't seen many of his inferior movies except Speed, which was very good. I liked his performance, but since TM, he hasn't really done much of interest

[Congerking]

naw, my opinion has always been the same about him. the matrix just boosted him up a bit.

I haven't seen a whole lot of Keanu Reeves movies (a good thing?), but when I first saw Speed I really enjoyed the movie and his performance was great. So just for that awesome movie going experience, I don't have any beef with the guy, and he's not as bad an actor as most believe (Okay, I admit, he's pretty bad, but not THAT bad...)

One Word: Nope.

[Neil McCauley]

I was so anti-Keanu I refused to see Matrix when it was in the theater. Only a friend w/similar taste in film convinced me to look past the guy who delivered "I... am an FBI agent" and "No, Brodie, put the gun down... but I love her" so pittifully in Point Break to see what is now one of my fav flicks!!!

We'll see how he does in Reloaded -- in much of the first, he played someone oblivious to reality -- probably as much of a stretch as Courntey Love playing a Junkie in People VS Larry Flint!!!

Nope, I still think he's a moron.

[El Bracamonti]

i've always liked him, and no, my opinion of him hasn't changed.

I have always liked Keanu, He makes a hell of an action hero. BUT
I can't get past the whole "Bill and Ted" thing.

And what are your reason for that?

Evidently, it's not at the top of his 10 of all time list

[kubotakhan01]

No real serious reason, just that, "Bill and Ted" was the first movie I had seen him in, and I saw it like a hundred times before I saw him in anything else. So now whenever I see him, "Bill and Ted" is what I think about.

Kind of like How When people went to see "The Truman show" and Jim Carrey in a serious and Brilliant (Oscar- nomination worthy, in my opinion)role, alot of people had trouble taking him seriously because for a long time all everybody saw him do was talk from his ass and such.

Nothing against Keanu, he's a hell of an actor.

And The Matrix IS on my top FIVE of all time list.

I watched Speed last night. It's actually been a while since I've seen it. But my oh my did Keanu rule! He's acting was superb, and he knew how to be an action hero.
