It was for the best. Nobody woulda bought Will Smith as a angsty shut in hacker. Also Keanu is heavily into eastern philosophy and kung fu flicks. Will ain't that guy.

It would've been interesting to see will Smith as neo and Kilmer as morpheus but it must've been fate because I can't imagine anyone but Keanu and Lawrence as morpheus and neo. Perfect casting.

People acting like Kilmer couldn't act tho. which is crazy. if they kept the script lean and didn't let Will do Will Smith shyt it might have been ok.
Wasnt that bad
Had good moments that I liked. Selma booty, the fake titty part, Lovelace cracks me up, and Will did a good job
Me and my sisters to this DAY still quote the Ether that Will was given Loveless when they first met.
“Well you know beautiful women, they encourage you one minute and cut the LEGS out from under you the next!”
Will’s troll game when it came to sonning cacs in that flick was A-1!
fukk it ima throw that shyt on tonight. fukk the Matrix
Now THATS the one that would keep me up at night. Will coulda played the hell out of that role (Leo did fantastic before you undercover white boys start crying) Inception is one of my favorite flicks ever

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Will is a great storyteller.
He turned down a billion dollar franchise that would have been even bigger with him in it

Lex with tv sets the minimum
indeed. he turned down mib too but then speilberg hit his line and convinced him
if the pitch is wack, you better have someone else on the project who has a thorough track record that convinces an actor on the fence to buy the fukk in.
Yeah i remember my uncle took me to see it lol
