Rumor is brandall10 is old enough to remember the clusterf*k situation of Dracula in real time (https://bit.ly/3JlCppX). And other dramatic turns when paired against acting heavyweights like in the Devil's Advocate.

Acting is a craft. Criticism is healthy. As an actor he lacks dramatic range. This is hardly a controversial opinion, to put it lightly. He had some turns that showed promise (The Gift, some smaller films in his early career), but ultimately, that's not his forte. He is a star behind some iconic roles that best suit his talents. And is by all accounts a lovely human being. It's fine to celebrate that and call it what it is.

Finally, brandall10 likewise thinks kubancyk is a swell guy and encourages him to not take criticism of someone he's a fan of personally, even if they are an FBI agent that knows kung fu.




Sorry, I made it overly personal.

I was actually pointing out a specific method of criticizing. I can't stand Keanu Reeves, he's on par with a log of wood.


Ah, got it. I honestly wasn't trying to take a jab, I thought it was common knowledge he just isn't considered a good actor, but then again that could be because of my age bracket. I certainly could have worded it better though.
