Look, no one can deny that Keanu's acting was especially wooden in Reloaded, even more so than in M1 {sorry Korri!}. Most have put this down to poor acting skills, or possibly frustration at the long shooting schedules. But isn't it possible that this was deliberate?

Consider - there is some sort of "connection" between Neo and Smith. Consider also that Smith has been acting strangely {that is to say more human} of late, such as his manical laugh in Revolutions.

So isn't it possible that when Neo jumped into Smith at the end of M1, Smith took some of Neo's humanity, and Neo some of Smith's AI?

Just a thought

Ummm NO he's just a shitty actor !

OUCH! You just slapped Korri...

the only thing i can say is, a bad actor trying to be a bad actor...sounds like he wouldn't be able to do it...in fact, he could probably benefit from it...

"whoah"

I'm just saying...

I dont think he is that bad of an actor...personally. I dont even have any feelings for him either. I think that is just his character for the movie. Neo still doesnt know everything but has to remail calm because so many people are looking up to him.

oh, i just remembered...

He was PERFECT for the first film. A part that entirely depended on his character being confused and ignorant until the very end. Absolutely bang on with keanu!

Alright - does anyone actually AGREE with my theory?

Oh look, there's a tumbleweed blowing by

I don't...

It's not worth making your lead actor act bad...

I don't...

It's not worth making your lead actor act bad...

Jeez I know you feel strongly but no need to slap me in the face TWICE with your double reply

My computer was like DUH? and I couldn't tell if I posted or not...

I think he got Neo's personality, not humanity, because Smith says that he knew the rules of deletion, but he suddenly felt compelled to become an exile, to break the rules.

Yes, I can: Keanus acting was not wooden in Reloaded.
There, piece of cake.

Hehe...

Lol.
*Applause*

it wasn't Great but it wasn't wooden either. There were things I didn't like that he did in Reloaded that I thought he could have done better. EX: The head movements when he was saying alright to giving the kiss...looked funny. On the other hand, loved the "Hiya fellas" and "hmmmm Upgrades" Overall he did a good job to me...other than a few minor things.

keanu is not a great actor but he plays the part of Neo well. The Wachowscki brothers make his character with very little emotion. I can't remember Neo ever smiling in m2. The wachowski brothers made some mistakes in this trilogy. They made Neo a dull character and they never really showed how trinity and neo fell in love. it was kind of stupid actually. trinity and neo showed no signs of being in love in m1. Trinity told him to go to hell before the lobby scene and then just a few minutes later, out of nowhere, she is in love with him.

She was enfatuated with his skills... Someone women like dull guys that show no emotion. They think it's macho. Then she fell in love.

i like how the fell in love(i mean it wasn't as stupid as EPII)

as for the thread... nice excuse.
Neo is the perfect role for keanu, it just suits him very well, that's just how keanu is. By the way i liked keanu on that football movie (i think is call the replacements) but he acted as stiff as in the matrix, although laughing once in a while.

Wouldn't know what u mean by that!...
i honestly don't understan what is expected of Keanu...to be Sir Lawrence Olivier as Neo??http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/disgust.gif He's good within his capabilities,does what he is required to do as an actor...just because he did something like "Bill and Ted", he is thought of as Theodore Logan! Please!! One thing is performing as an air head, the other is BEING one...Ppl grade his acting skills in relation to some of his choices....like NO other actor has ever made a weird choice! Give him a break! He has proven to do what he was set out to do!!

wholy crap, that is wut i was thinking. Neo seemed so human in the first and then in the second, he seemed like nothing fazed him, like when the 3 agents knocked the door down, he just looked at them with a little smirk, kinda like Smith did in the 1st film when he faught Neo, and visaversa with Neo, cus in the 2nd film, Smith looked so human when he faught, in his face and actions (it helped that he was getting his ass beaten)

*thinks of her dear friend clispin who only the other day got a few bruises for having such a big mouth*

Look, everyone has their opinion. But I wholeheartedly disagree. C'mon, his face hardly changed expression throughout the whole thing! Smith showed more emotion than Neo, and he's a machine, for god's sake!

perhaps smith is becoming more human
and neo is becoming more......

thats just blantantly obvious and how many times have the cast and crew confirmed it...

Keanu rocks!! end of story..

Noola> wasn't Neo supposed to look like nothing fased him?? I mean..who else would u have cast?? Even if the Bros. had previous choices b4 Keanu, he was the ONLY one who connected w the Bros! Brad Pitt and Will Smith didn't get the f***kin' plot!, and now Will is rollin' on the floor mad for being such a douche bag!
I think Keanu delivers as far as an actor...maybe to some he's not Oscar material...but then if ur not favorable politically at the right time...who is!!!!!!!!??????? He's a good actor, and much to the dissapointment of some, he's ALWAYS working, and ppl LOVE to work w him!...EVERYONE walks away feeling differently about Keanu after sharing the set w him! Even big ones like Jack Nicholson! THERE!!!!!!!!!

yeah i explained all that in 2 words
