Ranking Every Keanu Reeves Movie Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley /

12. Much Ado About Nothing (1993)

The Samuel Goldwyn Company

Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of The Bard's play is delivered with Branagh's typically meticulous craft and flair where Shakespeare movies are concerned, offering up an almost impossibly diverse cast including Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Imelda Staunton, Brian Blessed, and in her debut Kate Beckinsale.

As much as opinion remains sharply divided on Reeves' performance - much of it surely stemming from the sheer weirdness of hearing him work through Shakespearian dialogue - the ensemble as a whole really makes this so much fun.

11. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)

Orion Pictures

The first and best of the Bill and Ted movies, Excellent Adventure offered up a playful and deceptively smart riff on typical time travel yarns, accentuated by its slick style and the knowing, charming performances of Winter, Reeves, and George Carlin.

Above all else, though, Bill and Ted is a heart-warming bromance that never takes itself too seriously, and yet brings just enough emotional truth to the table.
