Even without seeing either, I can already tell you the only movie with worse acting is Fred Claus.

That movie had Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey, Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, and Kathy Bates in it and it was still the biggest piece of garbage I've ever seen.

Not sure why, but Keanu doesn't bother me as an actor. Not saying he's good at it, just that he doesn't bother me as much as some no-talent actors.

Maybe because the roles he fills don't require any acting?

The movie wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good. Not a whole hell of a lot happens. Although I will admit the kid in there deserved to die a thousand deaths.

Will Smith's son?

What bothers me about Keanu is that in the Matrix, he finds out about the Matrix which pretty out there as it esentailly changes the explination as to why everything is the way it is. His reaction? "...woah..."
Maybe it's just me, but if some strange big black guy in a trench coat pulled me aside and said, "Nick, theres actually this thing around you that makes everything in the world tick. Forget everything you've ever thought about why things are the way they are, they can all be explained by this new thing," I'd like to think I'd give a different reaction aside from, "...woah...".

Yes. He is the most obnoxious sonovabitch I've seen in a LOOOONG time. It always fascinates me that filmmakers assume we will have a vested interest in such a reprehensible character, just because it's in the script.

His folks are really pushing hard to get him into the A list and is already signed to be the new Karate Kid. Ain't Hollywood grand?

That's the even more ridiculous thing, is they have to jump through all sorts of hoops to explain why Jennifer Connely is caring for an african american child.

Keanu didn't write the script, though. Why dislike him for the line he had to read?

Because almost all A-list actors have creative input in the production of a movie.
