Plus I dont like his acting all that much i dont think he is suitable for the role. No offense to him or anything but also he is getting older and its showing i dont feel it would work the whole characterization that is Spike would be lost. Just my imo but i dont like it and a shit load of others on the net feel the same.

There is a great discussion going on over at animesuki about it.
My thoughts were exactly until I started thinking who should be Spike. When nothing better came to my head, I let this 'Is Reeves suitable to be Spike' behind. Of course it's a first step to ruining the film, but if other actors do their job well, then not everything is lost. But that's another problem and I don't want to think about it now.
The good news is the producer Erwin Stoff said that they'll remain faithful to the anime series.
