on Apr 13 2005 12:34 PM Don't get me wrong I like Keanu, but he's only good in roles where the lead can come across kind of dopey. Sinbad needs to be high energy, something I've never seen from Keanu in any role. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 13 2005 12:48 PM [b]Jet Li?![/b] Interesting...Now, it sounds more and more like Pirates of the Caribbean II (with Chow Yun-Fat). (Reply to this) |

on Apr 13 2005 03:11 PM [b]REEVES?[/b] o, what a bad descion casting Keanu, he is one of the worst actors in the buisness right now and cannot take a leading role. Bad desion, they should have choosen some one upbeat, and enterjetic, not reeves. But Jet Li would add alot to this movie, I dont understand why Hayden is getting a role, didnt like him in Star Wars Attack of the Clones, and was suprised that someone did. But the movie could go either way, like the Hulk, which bombed (Reply to this) |
on Apr 14 2005 08:46 AM Keanu can be good, but I woory more that they will forget about the script amongst all the SPFX. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 14 2005 12:06 PM At least they have Harryhausen on board... Too bad he's just an FX consultant. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 14 2005 05:02 PM So when is Sinbad coming out? (Reply to this) |
on Apr 14 2005 10:36 PM In reply to this comment (#821360) [b]huh?[/b] Wasn't Keanu high energy as Ted?. I think he can do it..i am just worried that its going to be another Pirates..or worse..a movie like the one with Geena Davis (what was that called?) The cast,the director and Ray H are big plusses but its a fine line between cheesy and great family entertainment.. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 15 2005 04:56 AM Keanu Reeves is okay, but I really cann't picture him as Sinbad. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 16 2005 07:08 PM [b]Sinbad[/b] I think The Rock would be a cool Sinbad. (Reply to this) |
