I hate Keanu Reeves and I'm going to attempt to explain why.

First off, whenever Keanu Reeves is in something, he just plays himself. This is a common criticism people have for all kinds of actors, but it especially applies to Reeves. He's often typecast as an everyman character, someone relatable, yet at the same time he's expected to be seen as a badass. Not just as Neo or John Wick, you can apply this to his roles in stuff like Cyberpunk, Point Break and even Bill & Ted. It ends up feeling like the directors don't know what to do with him besides have him be "generic cool guy" in everything.

Next, I hate that Keanu Reeves tries to pretend he's not old as fuck. He owns a motorcycle company, grows his hair out to his shoulders and talks like a slacker in every single interview. He's not even stylish, he's one of those guys who thinks wearing a blazer in all black everywhere is somehow not cringe as fuck. If you want to experience a shock then look for any recent appearance he's had with Alex Winter, he's like a confused and out of touch uncle next to a respectable father. This isn't an exaggeration, Keanu has no kids while Alex has three, so of course he spends more time trying to appear "hip" to the youth while his former co-star continues his bloodline.

However, that's not the biggest problem I have with Keanu Reeves. No, what I despise about him is that he has this reception of being a humble guy behind the scenes. Honestly, who the fuck actually cares if a millionaire is nice to people? Wow, someone with tons of money, fame and opportunity isn't a conceited piece of shit, that totally means they're cool. Plenty of actors were like this throughout history and it doesn't change that they're still part of the elite, they look down on everyone who has less fortune they do, and they probably grew up with a silver platter anyways. If this seems petty, just remember what I said at the beginning: Keanu is typecast as a regular dude, when that's a lie.

challenge him to a fist fight

Yep.

remember when he was an immortal vampire who doesn't age?

Me too but Tom Hanks

I think he's breathtaking. Am I right, gamers?
>>
>>215078860
All you had to say is that he's reddit
>>
>>215078918
I personally would like to see him go full on crazy just to see how many cops he could take down before they finally Dorner'd him. Maybe him and Tom Cruise could rob banks together.
>>
Keanu is like Dave Grohl. They both put on a happy-go-lucky "good guy" persona, but the odds are that they have major skeletons in their closets. And even more skeletons are buried in the backyard.
>>
>Keanu has no kids
That's fine compared to the alternative - gay guys shouldn't have children.
>>
>probably grew up with a silver platter anyways.

I dont think he did. Broken home, mother exposed him to many men. Then when he tried to have a kid despite all that his woman miscarriaged and then died in a car crash. Then his sister died of cancer during the Matrix movies. No money takes away that kind of shit.
>>
>>215078860
I'll give you that he can't act, he doesn't look like a conventional grown-up and that he has that "hey fellow kids" vibe. But his attitude is real. He's always been chill and apparently that's what's making you mad.
>>215079141
Nah Dave Grohl looks fake as fuck. Unlike Keanu who can't act to save his life, Dave can actually play, but he can't act either and it shows.
>>
>>215078860
You hate Keanu because he's cool and you're not.

Got it.
>>
>>215079178
father in prison since hes a kid and his best friend river phoenix dies while hes shooting Speed
definitely not a good actor but cannot hate the guy 2bh
>>
>>215078860
He plays an asshole pretty well in street kings and that horror movie where he's the motel manager.
>>
>>215078860
He's not portrayed as a bad ass in any of those films lol. His role in Speed is probably the closest thing to a "bad ass". He's cast as a normal what would be considered working class man.

He was much better when he was younger. He was good in my own private idaho. I think maybe he just don't give a shit anymore and I don't blame him.
>>
No need to hate on him. It's just that he's a pretty mid actor.
>>
>>215078949

Yeah. Problem is, Hanks played in something like 10 great movies:

Forrest
Cast Away
Apollo 13
Private Ryan
Green Mile
Toy Story
Catch me
Philadelphia
Terminal
Sully
Big
Sleepless
>>
>>215078860
He’s good for very specific types of roles (usually involving weird autists who don’t speak much), but doesn’t really work when you cast him against type (Dracula is a good example).
>>
>>215078948
He's a Hapa. That was just his asian genes doing their thing. He has now hit the stage where he turns into a wrinkled prune.
>>
>>215078860
he used to bang a tranny, that is why plebbit loves him
>>
>>215078860
well,at the gives of the impression of being a genuinely nice and down to Earth guy,unlike Will Smith
>>
>>215081687
Tom Hanks does too much oscar begging. He always has that one scene where he starts ACTING and goes all dramatic so he gets nominated again

>First off, whenever Keanu Reeves is in something, he just plays himself.
This is true. It’s simply because he’s a bad actor. very, very wooden. I still like him though.

>Next, I hate that Keanu Reeves tries to pretend he's not old as fuck. He owns a motorcycle company, grows his hair out to his shoulders
I don’t think he’s necessarily pretending he’s not old as fuck. He just likes the long-haired, scruffy, grungy look. He loves riding motorbikes and is genuinely passionate about it.

>and talks like a slacker in every single interview.
He talks like a slacker because that’s just how he is. He’s not much of a talker. Quite awkward and finds it hard to hold a conversation, which actually makes him endearing.

>If you want to experience a shock then look for any recent appearance he's had with Alex Winter, he's like a confused and out of touch uncle next to a respectable father.
Keanu really is just an awkward person who struggles with conversation.

>Keanu has no kids while Alex has three, so of course he spends more time trying to appear "hip" to the youth while his former co-star continues his bloodline.
Keanu’s ex-girlfriend was pregnant with his child, but she unfortunately died in a car accident, losing both her life and the baby’s. They say she was driving under the influence after attending a party hosted by Marilyn Manson, and her mother claimed Manson gave her drugs. I think a part of Keanu died with her and their unborn child, and he’s never been the same since.

>what I despise about him is that he has this reception of being a humble guy behind the scenes.
That really is who he is though, just a genuinely nice and respectful guy.

>Keanu is like Dave Grohl. They both put on a happy-go-lucky "good guy" persona, but the odds are that they have major skeletons in their closets. And even more skeletons are buried in the backyard.
Like when Dave Grohl and Courtney Love conspired to have Kurt Cobain murdered?
>>
>>215082175
Red pill me on this. Why did they want that?
>>
>>215079141
His skeleton (singular) is widely known though, he lost his wife and unborn child to murder and has basically just been trying his best not to cry since that day. That's the reason for everything OP criticized him for.

Did he though? He was seen at dinner with it a few times but it's not like he was going on vacation or living with it. It seemed like a pr relationship more than an actual one to me.
>>
>>215082366
Keanu is the kind of guy that would still smile and shake Marilyn Manson's hand even if there's a part of him that thinks he's responsible. Manson's song was even played throughout the first John Wick and the composer for all the music in every John Wick is Tyler Bates who has worked for Manson and plays live with him for many years now.

Thanks chat gpt!

I liked him until Reddit started jerking him off. Now I don't like him
