Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is another bad movie based on a TV show I never heard of before which I have discovered is considered to be great by most people. This is the worst Will Smith movie I've ever seen. It's hard to tell whether this is a goofy movie trying to be serious or a serious movie trying to be goofy. It's just too ridiculous to really take either way. This movie features Smith and Kevin Kline fighting some villain who lost the lower half of his body and uses a giant mechanical spider. It's as dumb as it sounds.The jokes are so predictable, particularly with how we know the woman will be real and not Kline in disguise. Of course, it isn't any more pleasant when Will Smith crossdresses. I was expecting some big climax with explosions but it was instead boring. The lead actress in this movie has practically no purpose in the film at all. I think it's just an excuse to show off her butt. Still, the song on the credit was awesome! *1/2

I never saw the TV show so I can enjoy this just fine. If you're looking for a serious western, this flick is not for you. It has a great cast, excellent eye candy, decent FX, some action AND they don't try to disguise the humor, it's pretty much in your face but it's funny. This probably isn't a must see unless you just can't get enough of Salma, which I cannot. I can watch this every 3 - 5 years.

My one sentence plot summary: Agent Jim West (Will Smith) teams with Agent Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline) to topple a super-villain named Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) who has designs to take over the United States government. I'm not going to bother going into any more detail because Wild Wild West isn't worth the time or effort it would take. Wild Wild West is a bloated, gas-filled, disaster of a film. Unfortunately, I saw this thing in the theater back in 1999. If it's possible, it's even worse now watching it some 18 years later. Absolutely nothing works. The comedy is so far from being funny it's ridiculous. The endless series of jokes about about Jim West being an African American get old and tiring real quick. I get it - he's black - quit beating that dead horse and move on to something else. The jokes about race were so annoying that the unfunny and obvious jokes about Selma Hayek's butt and boobs were actually a welcome change of pace. Believe me when I say that the comedy misses it's mark every time. The rest of the script is equally disastrous and as poorly written as my attempt at writing this little review. When we're not treated to unfunny attempts at comedy, it seems that all the writers could come up with was to have Jim West and Artimus Gordon engage in endless bickering like an old married couple. Or, having the boys are put in dangerous situations that I couldn't be bothered to care about because I hated the characters so much. Finally, all the steam punk trappings end up looking as silly as Kevin Kline dressed as a woman. A steam-powered 80-foot steel spider - whatever! There's just nothing here I found enjoyable.The actors are horrible. Will Smith is miscast. His modern sensibilities do not play well in the role of an 1860s-era government agent. Kevin Kline is no better. And he's not helped by the poorly and ridiculously written character he's given to work with. Branagh is also bad. He's not funny in the slightest - just annoying. And that accent is embarrassing. Selma Hayek is the only cast member I'll say anything positive about and I'm sure part of that is due to her lack of screen time. I'm positive that with a larger role, she would have been terrible also. In the end, I cannot rate Wild Wild West any higher than a 2/10. I'm not going to bother to look, but just how much money was wasted on this piece of monkey excrement?

I really can't stand all these wanna be critics anymore complaining about how Hollywood screws up classics but then up rate movies like 2017 "The Mummy" because it's different. Just chill and enjoy it because it's hilarious. And please ignore my at some points bad English. I am German so deal with it.
