who plays neo best cruise or keanu?

any ideas for who plays the role best?

Keanu. He's not a that good of an actor, but i cant see anyone else playing neo.

I know that Tom Cruise was considered for the role of Neo, but can anybody really see him say dopey lines like "I know kungfu" or even play Neo?! Keanu just seems to fit better, although I agree that he isn't much of an actor (remember such crap as "Bill and Ted's excellent adveture"?)

well Keanu started out bad, and i dont know about his acting abilities, but he has been in some very good movies (and bad ones) like point break.

the replacements was a prettey good movie

keanu. he may not be a very good actor-but he fits the part really well. like in m1-i cant imagine tom cruise standingthere when cypher tells trinity tolook into his innocent eyes.

Definately Keanu-no competition.He may have been in some bad films but there are also good ones (Sweet November) and every actor/actress makes "mistake films" at some point in their career!

yeah...none reckons cruise. thats because cruise is not hot...*sigh*

I don't know actually,I think he's good looking in a weird way but that he wasn't right for the Neo role.In Top Gun (One of my favourite films) he's extremely fit!

you can't replace Keanu. that's just wrong.

Keanu was the perfect Neo...there is no other actor that could fill the role better than Keanu. It is insane to even think that Val kilmer or Will Smith could be Neo, because they are not the type of actors necessary for the part. Although Keanu has, in the past, made a few 'mistake' movies, he has made a few good ones, and it just goes to show that certain actors, although they are supposed to be versatile, are better fitted for certain parts.

I could never see Cruise as Neo, Keanu plays the role too well and its a role that sort of suits him

Keanu....No Doubt about that. You'd have to be on some serious crack to think that Cruise would play Neo better.

Plus, Tom Cruise is just not the right part. Perfectly put, Jedi

this question is so stupid!!!

wallbash must.....contol....urge...to....hurt....somone

CALM DOWN KORRI!!!!

...whomever put Cruise rather than Keanu has got some serious issues, and should be shot, so, for your own sake, if you are the one who voted for Cruise, do not admit to it...otherwise i will be hard pressed to keep Korri from ripping your head from your neck and beating it with a baseball bat...

that is all...

and who is this "svicic" person??

im not a member basher but seriously....watch you back

cruise is too spastic to be neo... "help you help me"... just can't see it. keanu has this attitude about him. he is calm and panicked at the same time. confident and--uuuummm-- not confident at the same time. he played neo perfectly.

Keanu is just perfect for playing Neo. He seems to act just the way Neo would. Plus, can you imagine Cruise on the phone at the end of M1?

thats a good one...Cruise saying "I'm not here to tell you how this is going to end. I'm here to tell you how this is going to begin"...no way...he is NOWHERE near the actor needed to play Neo...no way...

EDIT: THATS IT... ...who else voted for Cruise?!?!?! i gave a warning the first time...but this is just rediculous. I'm gonna let Korri come after you, and not even try and stop her.

Cruise is twice the actor so yes; for the part of the dull, air headed Neo, Keanu is perfect.

Don't get me wrong, Neo was my favorite character and Keanu was perfect for it but no one(NO ONE) can say that Keanu is a better actor than Cruise.

I really don't want to get into a huge discussion but as a Cruise fan(and, according to some people, I look a little like him...) I have to defend...Who else can you name that made the dumbest, dullest jobs seem cool? Bartending, Pool Sharking, Being a Sports Agent, Ruining your dad's car and opening a cathouse to pay for it all the while getting into Stanford ( )...The list goes on and on.

Since I loved Reeves as Neo and Cruise is one of my favorite actors, I decline to vote.

i'm not saying Keanu is a better actor...NNOOOOOO, far from it. however, i AM saying that, as an airhead, Keanu was uniquely qualified to play Neo. 'nuff said.

it amuses me that they didnt have the decency to own up

im gonna eat your ass whoever you are

Two words about cruise : TOO SHORT!!!!

Hmmmm... didn't think Cruise was a brilliant actor... but then obviously that can't have been necessary for the Neo role. Which is better looking when he is NOT airbrushed or prepared for the camera in any other way?

ok 3 ppl who voted now?

it was yoy shaber wasnt it!! u big Keanu-Hater

thats it its time for the chair! *other members gasp*

yes! i said it....THE CHAIR!!! chair

How do you manage to answer all the threads last?

b/c she spends every waking moment at KMC, just flipping through the threads until she sees one that someone just posted on...

tom cruise is a much better actor than keanu and could actuallypull off more than one type of role (rainman vs the last samurai)

that is true, i will give you that...however, Keanu is uniquely fitted for playing Neo.

6 ppl? gawd this is getting repetitive


chair

Is so hard to chose.....

no i dont think it is

I don't know who to vote for......

Korri, why do you get mad and try to intimidate people for posting their opinions? That's just crazy.

Im influencing the vote by being scary

Yes is an evil plan

bloody vote then you Trout!

cruise is a way better actor, but he can't play Neo because he knows how to smile....

thats not funny

Another person voted for Tom!!!! I wasn't me! I'm innocent!

omg i watched revolutions yesterday....utter crap! Sooo glad to see Moss get it in the end, but why'd she stay alive so long?

because she is a bloody annoying trout!

Trout!!!

I voted for KR.

Keanu is Taller

haha shorty sucks

Sorry Korri but Tom Cruise has done much more better films. Keanu did point break, speed, devil advocate and the M films rest of his movies were not for me. Tom Cruise, has made too many good ones, Top gun, minority report, jerry mcguire,mission impossible 1&2 , the firm, rain man,vanilla sky etc.

Vanila Sky was crap

Other than big Al saving Devil's Advocate, Keanu has played in exactly 0 good roles. (Excluding the Matrix, of course. He fits Neo like a shoe...or foot...Since the Matrix would be the shoe. Anyway...)

Maybe you need a memory implant to remember all the terrible titles that Keanu stalked and strangled. Trust me when I say that it won't be an excellent adventure trying to find a replacement for Tom Cruise's acting abilities, he's far superior to Keanu. So before you go 60 down the highway to your nearest video store to rent all of Cruise's "Bad" movies(and I'm guessing that by bad you mean blockbuster hits), you might want to stop by the bank and grab some cash...Just don't forget your dead presidents mask.

Hm. Well, I'd have to see Cruise playing Neo before being able to answer the question fully. But Keanu is better-looking...

ya thats da point. keanu's face was perfect for "The One".

thats like saying you cant see anyone else as indiana jones except for harrison ford. i agree, but it is only because he was cast for the role. you know who was the first choice for indiana jones? tom selleck.

...

Korri> WHAT? Do you think Cruise is better-looking than Keanu? I would never have thought that - you STILL surprise me.

Cruise makes better movies, but Keanu is so much more HOT!!!!!!!!! And even if you think that the Matrix sucked, at least it's many many hours of Keanu in leather!!

keanu no doubt.....i dont think that cruise would be able to act calm enough for the role of neo.

and keanu in leather??? when did that happen.......

and wow...this is becoming a chick chat area.......i think i'll leave now.......

yeah right dont even go there #


StrlitSnrise>

<--- Look at this face, its not happy

Maybe there should be a poll like this:

Carrie Ann Moss or Sandra Bullock? (as the character of Trinity)

That will get some interesting comments.

now thats deffinatley not funny

you dont deserve that halo...i worked long and hard for that and you just use it as you wish its not right..

I voted for Keanu.

its still my Halo

I prefer horns-------> dev

Keanu=Neo

Cruise is far and away a better actor.

Keanu will always be remembered for this

WOAH. I had at least 3 paragraphs written out in that last post...What happened to it? I'm confused...

Neo is a dumb ass, and so is Keanu. So yes, it fits perfectly. Anyone ever seen Little Buddha?

..

....

he wasnt making mistakes the casting director was

All about talent.

um...ya..

Talent and Personality. Is hard to picture someone else as Neo.

ya...i know

Indeed.

yeah ok we get the picture Birthday boy

im sorry i love yhou really
