in "the matrix" and "the matrix reloaded", morpheus was known to be a truly inspirational leader and influential teacher to many people, particularly the majority of his crew, to the extent that tank commented that "morpheus was a father to them, as well as a leader". in "the matrix revolutions", with morpheus's faith in the prophecy shattered, he doesn't appear as strong a leader as he was in the first two films. despite his strong faith, morpheus still showed some rationality in dangerous situations rather than blindly relying on his beliefs to see him through the current crisis; perhaps his only truly irrational decision was to attack agent smith while unarmed in order to give neo a chance to escape.
