15. You have to look at it in a positive light...
Keanu's portrayal of Johnathan Harker provides us with one of the worst British accents to make fun of.

Come on, say it with me....put on your worst British accent (something straight out of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" will do) and say one of Keanu's lines.

My favorite is: "I paralyzed with fear!"

13. But he still ruined the second one....
By ruining the first one he sullied the second one.

I wouldn't have seen Speed 2 for the life of me. Yuck!

Except the Revenge of the Nerds movies. Those were all pure genius!

21. Have you seen the Mummy and the Mummy Returns?
What about The Scorpion King? I loved those. And what about Kill Bill Vol 2? The Bourne Supremacy was better than the Bourne Identity, mostly because the whiney girl gets offed at the beginning, but I'm not going to go any further. :evilgrin:

11. Ah, but Keanu can even fuck up Shakespeare.....
No matter how good or bad the dialog is, he will find a way to deliver it in exactly the most unnatural way.

Nothing like hearing him deliver Shakespeare as a surfer dude!

22. Bloody Hell...
...you beat me to it.

Although, I think he's getting better as an actor as he ages. He wasn't bad in Constantine, although I would have prefered Paul Bettany in the role.

20. much easier to name the only role right for him
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was the only movie he was ever well cast in, I think.
