No, they actually considered him for Morpheus, as hard as it is to believe. Here's one site where it says that:http://www.allmovieportal.com/c/valkilmer.html
And do a search for it and you'll see may other sites also confirmed that. The same thing with Connery, he said he didn't do it because he didn't understand the film. Can you believe he also was up for Gandalf in LOTR?
Everyone knows the second was better than the first. We all spent the first 45 minutes of the movie bearing with Neo to see if he was the one... not much action there, only training. The second had a lot more action and of epic proportions. The thousand agents fighting Neo scene was hot!!! I was sweating in my seat.

You might think it was better, but far from everyone thinks that.

matrix 2 and 3 suck. thats my opinion. number 2 had the most annoying loooooong car chase in history, and number 3 was just an excuse for effects.
you say long and annoying. I say ambitious, and near perfectly executed action. Let me guess, you think 2 fast and 2 furious is the king of car chase films? By the way, film number three isnt a single film, it is the second half of reloaded.
Wrong. A lot think the first is better, as do I. Although, I am not a huge Matrix fan. I thought the first one was awesome. The second was very entertaining and third was entertaining with a very weak ending. I still enjoyed the sequels, most fans hated them because they were hyping them too much...I enjoyed them, even though the ending of the third is pretty bad.

The ending in revolutions was really the only possible ending. you should have known it was going to end that way. There was really only two other possible endings, which werent as plausible as the ending we got.

oh, sh!t... i just can't picture val as morph. who was connery suppose to play in the matrix? and gandalf? the voice doesn't match the character.
The first film was new- original, trod new ground. The sequels did not- but overcomplicated and certainly overexplained films.
It should have been less action in 2- with a progressive build up [ eliminating the 100 fight sequence with smith] culminating in a 3rd part full of action and an ending worthy of an epic. The cycle of destroying Zion is stopped and the machines are crushed. An ending with absolute finality was required after the massive build ups.
Consider Lucas not killing Vader in ROTJ, the emporer living on, but a truce was accepted and everyone lived happily ever after. How cheated would you have felt then? This is not much different.
My ending-
Neo enters the machine city, with Trinity helping [not dying] he uses all that skill and power to take on the core.Meanwhile the last great offensive is launched - where that moaning commander whose name escapes me organises massive lines of attack with the bots they have left , coupled with strategic placements of EMPs.
The life support systems are carefully sheilded as at a coordinated time all hell is let loose. As Neo wins his battle in the heart of the machine city- losing his life in the process, Zion destroys every last sentinel and the battle of all battles is won. None of this Smith thing again, that would be shortened to an intense kick ass fight where Neo canes him.
But it is concluded and no-one feels cheated.
For all we know when the wachowskis feel like making another buck- part 4 is landed on our lap- Matrix Recycled.

C'mon, were you really so easily satisfied? The first was beautiful, the sequels needed more work, rewrites, care and attention than they were given. I'm afraid I could smell the strong, displeasing odour of a cash-in
