Some people are not set up for science fiction or fantasy at all. Will Smith is a borderline case, though.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 25 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I think with The Matrix specifically it has to do with the physicality. Late 90s Will Smith was in shape and could do big, bombastic action, but I can't imagine him doing precise martial arts moves without it looking like a comedy.

Thats what we all said about Keanu. He was a joke at the time. Or rather basically type cast. Even in the more serious roles he was pretty goofy. Speed comes to mind. The Matrix gave me and many i know a bigger liking for the young silly Ted Logan.

Yeah but that would go both ways. Imagine he did the matrix and it maybe worked out. People would now be like: can you imagine the shitty actor Keanu Reeves was going to play neo in the matrix?

Didn't you do a sci-fi with his kid? I've never seen it and I have no idea what it was about or what it was called but I'm sure it was a sci-fi.

He's done quite a bit of sci-fi! Off the top of my head I can think of

  • Men in Black
  • I, Robot
  • I am Legend
  • Independence Day

After Earth. It's kinda lightweight as far as sci fi goes.
