Do you think the Matrix sequel will be any good? Man, they should of kept Jet Li. If he was in it, the movie would of kicked ass! Guess we will have to settle for those agents again! Shoot

They tried to give Jet Li a really low ball $$$ offer for Matrix 2 so Jet told them to screw themselves. And I'm talking a really insulting offer. It's too bad though, the Matrix 2 was built for Jet Li. Oh well

actually, they offered him his going rate before romeo must die came out. after romeo, his price rose, and they refused to pay his new price. his loss mostly. matrix 2 would've given him HUGE exposure, which would've paid off on the future.

Hmm lets see which is better:

The large amount of money you would make being in Matrix 2.

or

The even larger amount of money you could then demand after saying you were in Matrix 2.

The Matrix sequel should stay as close to the original as possible with its characters. They don't need Jet Li.

Yeah, I'm sure his career is over now.:) It was a really low-ball offer - the makers of Reloaded are pinching pennys so tight, they be bleeding.....

Forget Jet Li. He may be good at kicking and flying, but if his poor acting skills were put with Keanu Reeve's, then not even Lawrence Fishburn could save the story.

The movie is not for him. All you need is Agent Smith, Neo, Trinity and Morphious. Oh, and that restuarant where they make really good noodles.

I agree. I'm glad Jet Li isn't in it. For me the Matrix was not just about cool fight sequences -- it also had a very cool story and concept. If Jet Li were in it, I would be afraid that the writers would have to change a lot to try to accomdate him and make it become a stupid movie where the only good parts are the fight scenes.

i think the addition of jada pinkett has ruined any chance that I will like the Matrix 2. there are some actors who no matter what the film is, they just ruin the movie for me. Jim Carrey, Chris Odonnel, Any Baldwin brother other than Alec, Will Smith, Jada pinkit. these people just mean automatic suckage.

What is this with Jet Li? He can't even act. LOL! Please, Jet Li? He's a joke of an actor. And Jada is pretty, so that addition won't be frowned upon :D.
