I have become a big ol' Keanu fan. I think the guy is just plain talented, and after a fashion, tremendously charismatic.
No, he doesn't work well in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, and his turn in DRACULA was sort of ill-advised, but he's got movie-star charisma, and, in a bunch of roles, has pulled off some pretty stuff. I even liked him in JOHNNY MNEMONIC.
And, which is probably the elusive "secret factor" of movie-stardom, whether he IS or not, I don't know, bur he *seems* like a nice guy, and that likability comes through on the screen.
So there you go. I'm a Keanu Booster.
Whoa.
