So when it came to the Bill and Ted's franchise, I wasn't so much the fan of Keanu Reeves. I'm afraid Point Break didn't do it for me either ...
But I wasn't even a fan of Swayze per se til later and Ghost.
Then there were a few tidbits which sparked my curiosity and interest. Johnny Mnemonic had me going with it's high tech spin and hilarious Ice Tea talking tech smack and then The Matrix franchise kept me going in that same technological kick ass genre as well.
The movie Speed really didn't float my boat ... but something about an endangered love interest rather sullied the experience for me ... not that the diversity of his work isn't impressive otherwise.
Constantine and his classic The Day the Earth Stood Still remake were both well within those 'bad is good" parameters I enjoy and the effects were really appropriate and I thought the preparatory touches to be thought provoking.
By the time he hit me with John Wick and those which followed I was well into that genre which was Keanu the warrior and I was really impressed with the over-the-top choreography and the multitude of weapons, mass destruction, and of course ... all the clothes, cars, and gold coins.
Baba yaga is pretty much the present status with me and I always have great respect for a scrapper. John Wick remains the scrapper extraordinare. Killa.
So here I am the ready and willing John Wick fan to the end.
