His reaction? "...woah..."
Maybe it's just me, but if some strange big black guy in a trench coat pulled me aside and said, "Nick, theres actually this thing around you that makes everything in the world tick. Forget everything you've ever thought about why things are the way they are, they can all be explained by this new thing," I'd like to think I'd give a different reaction aside from, "...woah...".<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Keanu didn't write the script, though. Why dislike him for the line he had to read?

Because almost all A-list actors have creative input in the production of a movie.

Nobody forced the Wachowskis to hire him, and subsequently keep him on for 2 more films if he wasn't giving them what they wanted. And the idea of actors having creative freedom/input is a bit of a myth aside from the top 1% in the talent pool. Writers are very protective of their scripts unless we're talking comedies or improv type films.

When an A-list actor who is paid a ton of money for a project thinks something needs to be tweaked I'm sure they are at least listened to.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
