I think that Keanu Reeves plays his role well. I don't consider him that great of an actor, he plays specific parts well, but is not an over all great actor. Given the proper role and the right motivation, I think he can be spectacular, but only in that role.
As for his looks, I think he is only average as far as actors are concerned. I also was not impressed that he didn't finish high school. Not exactly the role model for children is he, at least education wise.
The best movie Keanu starred in, his best performance that I've seen, was "Point Break." I know, he actually grew up a surfer from Encino, but this was a good role for him. Every other movie I've seen him in, I keep expecting him to say "Like, totally, Du-u-u-u-de!" or "Excellent!" - even in his Victorian pics. He just can't seem to break out of that mold.
I think he's a good looking man, but obviously not very bright.
In my opinion, of course.

I like Keanu. He has a mysterious appeal and an intensity that is compelling to watch. I agree that his talent is often not used, and some of his roles are terrible. In my opinion, his best are Point Break, Speed, Matrix, and Dracula.
Apparently, he is dating Charlize Theron. It's kind of an odd couple but I hope everything works out for the best. She is 35 and he is 45, he certainly does not look his age.
I liked him in the movie Constantine and of course all the Matrix movies. Being ridiculously wealthy makes a big difference when it comes to looks. I like how he is just cool about everything. I heard long ago that their have been a lot of deaths around him. I forget who it was and how but many people close to him have died. Maybe thats where he gets his strong grasp on the other dimensional, he has had to deal with it at a young age.
Keanu Reeves is kind of cute. I wonder if he is as gentle in real life as he is on screen. If he is he must really know how to treat the ladies. What is he doing these days?
