Keanu Reeves[edit source]

Humour: 9 This is a very funny piece, one of the best I've read for a long time. Like I've already said, I couldn't think of much you could do to improve it. The only thing I thought was that it feels a bit too long, and on top of this, the 'matrixism' and 'restraining order' sections are a bit of a chore to read - they didn't really make me laugh anyway. I recommend deleting both of them but obviously I understand if you want to keep them. That really is the only flaw I can find, and it's quite a minor one.
Concept: 10 Keanu Reeves is a great source for humour and you defintely tap into that. Although a lot of this stuff has been done before, such as the Reevisms and the portrayal of Reeves as an airhead with no acting talent, you execute it brilliantly so that it's as fresh and funny as it can be. Both your encyclopaedic tone and your characterisation of Reeves are completley consistent, I don't really think there's anything to improve.
Prose and formatting: 9 Again this is pretty much all perfect. There were a few minor grammatical problems but they have now gone so it all seems good. Again, the two sections I mentioned earlier get a bit dull, there aren't really any funny bits in 'Matrixism', and the 'Restraining Order' bit was all based around the kung-fu joke, which I thought was a bit silly (the bad kind of silly) and didn't really work for me.
Images: 9 Yet again, your images were awesome, the sonic one in particular I really liked. There were only 2 I didn't like - the basketball one and the heavy metal one at the start. They don't detract from the article itself, but nor did they make me laugh.
Miscellaneous: 9.3 Used an average for misc. The only thing I'd say is, and this might just sound like I'm desperately trying to find faults with your article, I'd get rid of the word 'alleged' from the opening quote. It makes the sentence sound cumbersome, and I think it would be funnier without it. Sounds petty I know, but it's niggling at me like a loose tooth.
Final Score: 46.3 This was a hard pee for me because the article was just so damn good. You've clearly done your research (or really do have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Keanu), and having the actor himself constantly interrupt is one of the best comic devices I've encountered in my short reviewing career. I'd be happy to nominate it for VFH if you want. Hope my comments have been helpful, get back to me if you want to clarify anything.
