Why?
No, really, why do you feel that Keanu Reeves is such a shit poor actor? He is a very decent actor. He may make a few bad decisions but he has definitely evolved over his career. Whether it's the popular thing to hate on Reeves, he is still a fairly diverse actor.

What roll has he done where you though, "woah, this guy can act and is diverse'?
He's a piss-poor actor, doesn't mean some of his movies aren't entertaining, Matrix, Street Kings etc. But his acting is at best, lackluster.

ditto. he's been doing mostly good movies and has been convincing in all his roles. and seriously, i'd like to see a list of actors who could have pulled off the character of Neo the way he did. he's diverse and he always does justice to his character. in my book.....that's good acting.~Sado
That's a loaded question, "the way he did". There are actors who could do that role better, though different.
Bale and McAvoy are two who would have done that role much better and as actors, are leagues above anything Reeves has ever done.
The only role he's ever performed to a high standard was in devil's advocate which was lifted by Pacino.
every other film he's been in that i've seen he was been either wooden (The matrix, day the earth stood still), played the same character just in a different situation (point break, chain reaction)
the only other films i've half enjoyed were Johnny Pnuemonic and Constantine which he didn't suit the role. (albeit for different reasons) and a scanner darkly
