Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

SGuiliano1064972 I've always loved THE WILD WILD WEST as a kid growing up in NC. I watched the reruns wishing that I was James West fighting the Bad guys and Artemus Gordon being witty, funny and always there for West when he's in a tight jam when He's trapped and the Babes? Woo Wee!. I have the DVD set and The Music is also great and I have 4 CD set, By Markowitz, Shores and among others and who could forget that theme and the animated opening. This was a great TV from CBS by the show marked as a James Bond type in the President Grant administration in 1870's. Now, since I'm older, I still feel like a kid watching the Episodes. Again, A great show. My rating 8.0.

jc-osms I was born in 1960, I admit it and all the great TV shows of my youth that I remember naturally hail from the late 60's and early 70's. What a feast of programmes there seemed to be in those days, I just love it when one of the series I remember airs on TV again. Of course it was a time of escapism and fuelled by the success of the James Bond films, TV shows quickly picked up on variations of the spying game for our edification and delight.The twist with "The Wild Wild West" was that it depicted two secret service agents saving the USA and / or the world from the master-villain-of-the week, usually an unhinged megalomaniac, only it was set in the mid-1800's out in, naturally, the Wild West. Every week, the intrepid duo of Jim West and Artemis Gordon (Robert Conrad and Ross Martin) faced up to the threat of some century-ago Blofeld-equivalent and did so with style, humour and excitement.Conrad's Jim West loses no opportunity in getting his shirt off and displaying his six-pack and invariably gets romantically involved with some passing female in every "The Night Of..." adventure. He's the more all-action of the duo, gets into more scrapes and fights, indeed I believe Conrad did many of his own stunts in the show. Martin's Artemis Gordon ran back-up, usually intervening when his buddy was held captive as he usually was, donning flamboyant disguises to hoodwink the bad guys as he did so. He provided the show with a somewhat sardonic humorous slant, sort of Bones McCoy to Jim Kirk. Every episode saw one or both of them in a life-or-death situation which they always miraculously or ingeniously escaped, while the women in the show invariably play second-fiddle and are usually stereotypically pretty, helpless and adoring. With a distinctive theme tune and title sequence too, it was a great way to spend a fun hour back in the late 60's, indeed it's still a great way to spend a fun hour today.

Rick Minnich I loved watching "The Wild Wild West" while growing up in California, and I'm loving watching the DVD box set with my kids thirty years later in Germany. "The Wild Wild West" is timeless: Terrific acting, fantastic gadgets, fun villains, gorgeous women, and beautiful colors and costumes. Plus the humor and irony are impeccable. The title music and animation are also a real treat.As a boy, I wanted nothing more than to be James West and to cruise around the country in his amazing train. As a middle-aged man, my dream is as vivid as ever, enjoyed all over again through the eyes of my kids.I can highly recommend this series to fans of James Bond, The Avengers, and Westerns. It's a wonderful blend of them all, and definitely very stylish.

John Dow First off they recast James West, an iconic BLACK character as WHITE! I mean I understand a TV spin off like this couldn't afford a star like Willard Smith but come on! there are so many talented black actors that could've taken on the role I'm so tired of this blatant Hollywood whitewashing. The casting isn't the only outdated thing in this train wreck. The production values are TERRIBLE I mean it looks like the whole thing was filmed in the '60's or something! The first season is in black and white for peat's sake! Trying to make up for budget constraints by giving the series a 'retro' feel but at the same time losing the steam punk and socially progressive elements that made the original Film such a masterwork. And don't get me started on the theme song! they've traded in the incredible collaborative efforts of Kool Moe Dee, Rob Fusari, Stevie Wonder and Willard Smith himself for something that sounds more like it belongs at the beginning of the Brady Bunch! Last but certainly not least *SPOILER WARNING* there was not a single giant mechanical spider to be seen! very disappointing. Bottom line, save your time and just go and re watch the original movie instead.
