Eric Stevenson 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

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Wild Wild West (1999) Plot In A Paragraph: Jim West (Will Smith) and Artimus Gordon (Kevin Klein) the two best government men in the West, must save President Grant (Kevin Klein) from the clutches of a villain. Though I still don't understand why!! lol You know a movie is in trouble, when they do last minute reshoots (Rogue One being an obvious exception) According to screenwriters S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, their original script was almost entirely rewritten, in an attempt to add more action and comedy to a script that was a mostly serious, dialog-driven mystery western. Entire additions, such as the villain, most of the jokes and action scenes, and the entire 3rd act involving the giant spider were new without their input. Wilson and Braddock tried to get their names taken off from the film after seeing the final product, and they have since refused to work with a major studio because of the experience.They even reshot the introduction to Jim West. Belle was originally cast with British actress Phina Oruche. Reportedly, the chemistry needed for the bathtub love scene wasn't there. The scene was recast and re-shot with Garcelle Beauvais. However, Oruche was not told, and found out she was no longer in the film at the premiere in Los Angeles. The characters of "Spike Guy" and "Knife Guy" were added to the movie and inserted into the climax after test audiences found the heroes fighting only Loveless' beauties to be very odd. Kevin Smith has said that the giant spider was producer Jon Peters' idea for the later- abandoned "Superman Lives" project with Nicolas Cage and Tim Burton.This is the first real mis step of Will Smiths move career, as movie is more than a bit of a mess, it's all over the place. After a really good performance in Enemy The State, Will Smith is back to just being Will Smith, which is disappointing!! Kevin Kline is a tad miscast, Kenneth Branagh is simply awful with a bad beard and even worse accent, and sadly Salam Hayek isn't given much to do except look busty in a corset!! Which she looks great doing by the way!! I'd say Her cleavage is the best thing in the movie.Barry Sonnenfeld, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek and Will Smith all hate this film. Hayek in particular thought she was underused in the final version, while Kline considered himself too good of an actor for the finished product. Oh well, I'm sure they were all well paid...... And at least from Will Smith's perspective, he got a hit single out of it. Willd Wild West wasn't the outright flop I thought it was, as it grossed $113 million at the domestic box office to end 1999, the 17th highest grossing movie of the year.

Mihai Toma A trigger-happy cowboy, Jim West, and a very ingenious marshal, Artemus Gordon, both in service of the president of the U.S.A. are forced to work together in order to save America from the revengeful Dr. Loveless. Their extremely different characters and mentalities will prove to be quite a challenge to overcome but once they're on the same track, almost nothing can stop them from completing their task, maybe except Loveless' latest invention.It's a very enjoyable movie, filled with quality Science Fiction, breathtaking action and shooting but also hilarious moments. It is quite exaggerated in some aspects but that can also be seen as a plus. It all depends on taste, love it or hate it if you ask me. Enjoy!

John McOwen I love this movie, I've been watching it up and down since I was little. It's just stupid fun with some heartfelt moments in between, nothing more, nothing less. The action is not 'good' - it's fun to watch and the dynamic between the two main protagonists is just perfect.I really don't get the hate. It seems everybody took this movie really seriously... come on, the very first scene should tip everybody off, this is just some stupid over the top movie where you can safely store your higher thinking somewhere in the back of your mind and be content with the silly things you get
