Favorite Keanu Reeves role?

[SolVanderlyn]

I don't think anything is going to top his role as Neo in the OG Matrix for me, even though his performance is a bit wooden at times. There is something ingrained in the deepest recesses of my being, likely from watching the movie hundreds of times over the years, about the casual, indifferent, I'm-in-over-my-head way he delivers his lines. I think he was the absolute perfect fit for this role and worked extremely well alongside Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus.

The only part of this role that fell flat for me is his romance with Trinity, but that was never a highlight of the movie for me anyway, so I let it slide.

What is your favorite Keanu role?

 

[Silver-Streak]

It's always a 3 way tie for me.
John Wick
Neo
Theodore Logan

 

[Schwarzbier]

Wild Stallions!

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

Man, it might be a lame answer but Ted. That character just puts me in a good mood. It's such a warm performance.

 

[ghostemoji]

John Wick is the perfect character for Keanu because he's not a great actor and the weird line reads work perfectly.

 

[gully state]

 

[ryseing]

Johnny Utah.

Though The Matrix is my favorite Keanu Reeves movie, I think I liked his role in Point Break the most, John Wick second and The Matrix third.

 

[Qasiel]

Johnathan Harker in Dracula

Just kidding. It's a tie between Neo and Ted "Theodore" Logan

 

[M. Wallace]

Jack Traven

 

[Bradford]

John Wick easy.

Excellent.

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

John Wick is great but I still enjoy Neo the most. Wick almost has it edged out though.

Your question also reminded me of Johnny Mneumonic. I don't even remember anything about it aside from the tech on his scalp and the dude with the laser thumb piano wire.

 

[oledome]

Ted

 

[Deleted member 4034]

Baba Yaga.

 

[louiedog]

Ted "Theodore" Logan for sure

But I'm going to use this as an opportunity to plug River's Edge as one of my favorite little known Keanu movies.

 

[Deleted member 22750]

mr Anderson

 

[Shodan14]

John Constantine.

 

[Laserdisk]

Ted or Constantine

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Ted's my favorite.

 

[JaseMath]

John Wick for sure. I like Neo in the first Matrix, but the sequels were awful and, for whatever reason, Reeves whisper talks throughout most of them.

 

[Coolverine]

Johnny Utah

 

[Vito]

There's no contest really.

 

[Joshua]

Johnny Utah.

This one for me. Such a great movie.

 

[0VERBYTE]

Constantine. John Constantine...assholes.

 

[Chivalry]

Constantine

Hell yeah. And he loves the role, too. I really want a sequel.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Wick is like the role Keanu was tailor-made for. It's great seeing him play so far against how he is in real life, because he's definitely Ted Logan more than anything.

He was great in Constantine too honestly.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I thought he was just himself in various situations.

Sad assassin is currently my favorite. Cyber Jesus was also a compelling role. I liked him in Much Ado About Nothing as well.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Duke CABOOM!

 

[Fox318]

Has to be John Wick.

 

[ScaleboundGOTY]

UTAH.......! get me two

 

[B.K.]

Freaked.

 

[eXistor]

Ted "Theodore" Logan. Reeves can act extremely well...in very specific parts. Ted is the perfect role for him and I say this with nothing but respect.

 

[ryseing]

This one for me. Such a great movie.

Swayze as Bodhi is probably the best scene partner Reeves has ever had, no disrespect to Alex Winter.

 

[Birdito]

Either Speed or John Wick, but Constantine is up there, too.

 

[Bishop89]

Hard to pick.
I automatically go to Neo when I think of Keanu.

But Constantine, Jack Traven, J. Wick.., Ted..

 

[Addie]

Himself.

So, Always Be My Maybe.

 

[FaceHugger]

I thought he made a great Constantine.

LOL
The gf and I loved him in that movie!

True Keanu revealed!

 

[Roxas]

John Wick's a classic really by now, but I have to tip my hat to my favorite movie he's ever done, A Scanner Darkly

He was great as Bob Arctor in that, pretty good translation of the book too!

 

[flatearthpandas]

Johnathan Harker in Dracula

This killed me lol. I actually really like him as Harker, and i don't care for the movie overall all that much
