this guy is painful to watch. He is a stiff and can’t act his way out of a paper bag.

But then look at the movies he has done...

Bill and Ted
Matrix
Speed
Point Break
John Wick

Dude has 5 legit super-classics. Is he really as bad as everyone knows he is?

Give me Keanu over Johnny Depp any day!!!

I am dead serious too. I think Johnny Depp is probably the most overrated actor I can even think of. Dude is awful. And I would say that it is fairly self evident when your most iconic role is playing a drunk in 6 or 7 straight movies... how many of these damn Pirates movies are they going to make before people realize this dude is TRASH.

I'm a fan of Keanu Reeves in large part to him being considered one of the nicest & coolest movie stars around.... perhaps even nicer and cooler than Hugh Jackman and Tom Hanks.

10 People Are Accusing Keanu Reeves of Being a Great Human Being

Keanu Reeves is the most thoughtful, kind human being on the planet and these stories prove it

I didn't read your links, but I have read a lot of similar stuff about him being such a nice guy and whatnot. Given everything bad that has happened to him, it is pretty cool that he is still down to earth and embraces fans and helps those he doesn't even know or have any obligation to.

Johnny Depp is a top 20 actor of all time for me. Kind of shocked someone could come to such a radically different conclusion, but that’s film for ya.

I’ve seen Reeves in 4 films:

The Devil’s Advocate (I remember I hated that movie but didn’t rate films at the time)
The Matrix: 4/5 stars
A Scanner Darkly: 4/5 stars
John Wick: 3.5/5 stars

All in all a decent actor, but as you can see, I still haven’t seen a majority of his work, so I’m not the most qualified to speak on him. I will say that his performance in A Scanner Darkly was by far my favorite, and it was amazing. I’d go so far as to call it a top 100 performance by an actor in a movie of all time.

Same.

And to be fair, I have not seen all of his movies... including some that are considered decent. But what is his best movie... Blow? Benny and Joon? Black Mass was decent, but I would prefer to watch the documentary than Depps performance.

I mean the dudes filmography is terrible.

A Scanner Darkly was a really cool adaptation too. Never seen a movie like that since... or before that I can think of right now anyway.

Keanu doesn't have a great filmography either, but I would say that his movies (such as those you mentioned plus Speed) beat out any movie Depp has done. Perhaps it is my perference/style of movies that I enjoy, but I thoroughly do not enjoy Johnny Depp.

I might catch some real flack for this.... but I have never seen ANY of the Godfathers. With that in mind, I think Al Pacino is one of the most overrated actors of all time.

**subject to change whenever I bring myself to watch the Godfather series**

First of all, shame on you. Shame on your family. Shame on your friends. Shame on the town you come from. Shame on your family name for generations to come.

Now, granted that you are an embarrassment to men the world over...

Pacino was a good actor in the 80s-ish and earlier. Ever since Scent of a Woman, he has been nothing but a caricature of himself.

I thought Dog Day Afternoon was meh...

I liked Scarface. I'm not sure how well it holds up today, but I liked it when I saw it.

The rest of his filmography that I have seen I just don't care for.

I used to think Depp was can't miss but he's had a number of terrible movies. Fear and Loathing makes up for those.

Reeves needs to be in the right roles. When they find him, he is great. When they get him out of his wheelhouse it doesn't work.

This still makes me laugh. Caliendo as Pacino is gold, and Sasso as De Niro is good, too

None of those are anywhere near a “classic”. I had Replacements in my initial write up, but removed it because it was not in the same class as the other 5.
