Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

TownRootGuy 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.

williamou This director doesn't even know the entire history of the transcontinental railroad. He is suppose to find two actors to play Leland Stanford' president of the Central Pacific Railroad, and Thomas C. Durant, the vice president of the Union Pacific Railroad, to drive the golden spike. But he didn't, he just hire Grant to drive?!!!!! The hell is that?!! President Ulysses S. Grant did NOT attempt to the golden spike ceremony at Promontory Summit, Utah. The cheapest movie ever. Grant says "See you in Washington," he headed back to east with the Wanderer. But West and Gordon headed west. Too much incorrect historical information! Stinks!

adonis98-743-186503 The two best hired guns in the West must save President Grant from the clutches of a nineteenth-century inventor-villain. Wild Wild West is one of the many films i have seen in my life that got really bad reviews but i actually enjoyed. Now let me get this out of the way if you're one of those people that get offended by everything, you don't like Will Smith and you can't understand that this is a comedy then i have news for you you better skip this movie pretty quickly and not even bother reading my review. Personally i found the movie quite fun i totally understand what it tried to be and i laughed a couple of times, the duo of Kline and Smith is pretty good and both men did a pretty damn good job and they did not deserve a razzie nomination, Salma Hayek was also pretty good and she was funny a couple of times and of course Kenneth Branagh did a good job as well because this is where he belongs in comedic roles. The film has some pretty good effects as well for a 1999 film especially the giant Spider looked pretty realistic, the fight scenes between Smith and some pretty weird dudes like the one with the metallic body or the guy with the sword hands was pretty cool and i laughed plus where else are you going to see Will Smith dressed as a woman? Not anywhere else i'll tell ya that. Personally i really don't care about other people's opinions except of my own and like i said i found the movie to be entertaining and fun for what it was, also this controversy with some of the changes or the whole Robert Conrad fed with the film i think was kinda dumb if you ask me the series came out in 1960 and the movie in 1999 it's like when Adam West started b*tching about 1989's Batman and why they went all dark and moody instead of his retarded dances and one liners. Things change and that's the problem with audiences today people don't understand that time does fly and changes will happen no matter if we like it or not besides if people really wanna see a much worse reboot go and check out "Conan the Barbarian in 3D" or "Ghostbusters" those films completely forgot what they should be they basically f*cked the original films so much that it was impossible to be saved. I'm not against changes and i'm not against reboots, prequels, sequels and recasting a certain actor for a role i mean sometimes it's better look at War Machine's part in the Iron Man Trilogy for example right? But when you completely go against the original that is where you loose the audience, do a bunch of changes or tell a certain story different instead of having a film called Ghostbusters where instead of catching Ghosts you basically kill them or having Conan fight against Sandmen instead of some ancient god or a god-like snake dude. Anyways i think i got a bit out of line here but what i'm trying to say it's this Wild Wild West is a comedy it's not a 100% action movie and it was never made to be serious or take it seriously. I think if you understand what it was meant to be and what kind of audience it tries to get close with you might actually enjoy it a lot plus Warner Bros has made way worse films like Collateral Beauty a much more worse Will Smith film or Batman and Robin the 1997 dumpster fire film starring George Clooney as The Dark Knight and thank god that we never got to see Nicolas Cage as Superman in Superman Lives a film that was meant to happen somewhere around this films release but since Wild Wild West bombed they throwed the project in the trash although the giant spider one of the "villains" of that cancelled film does make an appearance in some sort of inspiration i guess.

bill-brown I'm only marginally familiar with the TV series and am not in a position to compare this movie to the TV show. I liked this movie. It was campy and over-acted, but I think that was by design. I can see why some might consider that disrespectful to the original TV show. Outside of that, I had fun with it. I thought the 19th century manifestations of 20th century technology were amusing. And I thought Will Smith and Kevin Kline worked well together as the carefree adventurer vs. the meticulous inventor. Kenneth Branagh played the evil villain to the hilt. The voluptuous Salma Hayek was both amusing and titillating as the damsel in distress. Although politically incorrect, I thought the verbal sparring between Branagh and Smith was hilarious. I have watched this movie several times, and always enjoy it. I'm not certain why it is so venomously hated, but this being the internet, I'm sure there will be no end to the people who explain to me what an idiot I am for liking it. Knock yourselves out. To everyone else, pop some corn, sit back, enjoy the ride.
