[Achewon87]

What was Wild Wild West tho?

Was it sposed to be in the future or an alternate universe?

Alt universe. It's steampunk...

Steampunk?

Lol wtf? They got somethin for everyone

 

[VulcanRaven]

I Am Legend is classic

I disagree. Will picks movies like Nas picks beats.

 

[JUDAH]

The Matrix is probably the greatest movie of our generation....for multiple reasons

 

[konceptjones]

I remember reading that he turned it down 'cause he wanted Neo to constantly crack jokes and they were like "nope".

 

[rip.dilla]

Turned down Django Unchained for After Earth too..




But he's been talking about this for a while now... Maybe he feels that loss?

 

[GNS]

...or people keep asking him about it

Thats what would have been bad with him as neo. That shit didn't need comedy.

Turned down Django Unchained for After Earth too..

Good call

And it's a lot of Will hate in here

No hate. I Robot and Enemy of the State are two of my favorite movies. I'm there day one for BB3 but Will's catalog is trash. I remember some fool said he/his movies were better than Zel on the IC. Zel has never been in a bad movie. Even his average movies are good because Zel makes them better. That guy made me watch a movie about a runaway train lol. Will couldn't do that.

 

[rip.dilla]

In Will's catalogue


Bad Boys 1
Men In Black 1
Enemy of the State
Wild Wild West (I kinda liked this...)
Ali
I, Robot (an underrated classic sci-fi flick)
I Am Legend
MIB3
Suicide Squad
Focus
Bright

Are my favourite from him personally

I haven't been a fan of his 'dramatic' roles at all...

Hancock was funny

A black messiah. He fucked that up.

Reeves and fishburne were the correct choice.

People forget to mention that a shitload of people turned down The Matrix at the time. Reeves, Fishburne, Moss, etc. was as perfect as you would want for casting. They made their roles iconic.

I disagree. Will picks movies like Nas picks beats.

Not fucking true
