He's too smartass for Neo. Neo needed to be confused and bewildered by the cirucmstances he found himself in, and nobody does that better than Keanu Reeves with his surfer dude voice and attitude. I can't imagine anyone other than Keanu as Neo. Just my opinion. Keanu is the master of an extremely rare combination: acting confused yet capable at the same time And that's exactly what the role needed. As if the role was written for him even though it obviously wasn't. Although we were probably robbed of what could have been the ultimate meme...Will Smith's take on "I know Kung Fu"

I honestly feel that I am the only person on God's green Earth that actually liked Wild Wild West when not even the cast seemed to have enjoyed it. And I can see why Smith turned down the pitch when the brothers really put it across like that. Probably could have done with some practising it beforehand. Nope I love that movie. It’s campy and fun. It’s not going to win any Oscars, but it doesn’t need to.

I like Wild Wild West.
Jon Peters was actually right.
That giant spider WAS awesome!

I haven't seen Wild Wild West, but the song for it is unironicaly my favourite of Smiths.
