Summary: One of the worst films ever made...
Review: I have heard a lot of derogatory comments about this film, but I thought I would give it a try. What a mistake! I nearly switched it off after 10 minutes of viewing, it is so embarrissingly bad, that you actually have sympathy for the actors. How Warner Brothers could ever allow this complete rubbish to be put on film is beyond belief. Take the worst parts of Armageddon, Godzilla (remake) and Lost in Space (remake) multiply them by 100 times and you might actually get to how bad this film really is. The people responsible for the making of this film should not be allowed to work on any other film ever again. I am a film collector and have watched hundreds of films, I can honestly say that I have never seen anything as bad as this. Quite simply one of the worst films ever made. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: The script is virtually brain dead.
Review: Great wardrobe, cool sunglasses and colorful period costumes. Interesting special effects and authentic sets. Clearly, big budget. It is unfortunate that so much money was spent on such an inane (and occasionally offensive) screenplay. There is some serious cognitive dissonance in combining mass murder and comedy. They must have handed a blank check to Kevin Kline for his involvement. One star for the lavish production and effects and one star for the performances of Smith and Kline. They work well together and seem to have a good chemistry. It would be nice to see them together in a film worthy of their talent.

Summary: Is this supposed to be sophistication?
Review: If you're an early adolescent (especially male) you may just like this film (No offense intended toward males over the age of fifteen). The rest will probably find it offensive, boring, and even embarrasing (poor Salma in those stupid pajamas). I could not finish watching this film out of sympathy for the actors.

Summary: Extremely entertaining, why is everyone griping?
Review: I can't imagine why people did not like this movie. I was a huge fan of the Original Wild Wild West, and really couldn't imagine Will Smith as West (although I like him alot). But, after 10 minutes, I forgot all about it. I have never liked Kevin Kline, but loved him here. The chemistry between them was great. I always cringed at Michael Dunn's Lovelace, but thought Kevin Branaugh's was superb. The acting was great, the effects were great, the humor was perfect. Not too slapstick (like the Mummy), but very, very funny. And the movie is just gorgeous to watch. Beautiful women, beautiful costumes, beautiful sets, beautiful contryside, beautiful horses, GREAT shots of early washington. What do you people want? Yes, this movie was different, but I thought it was better. It is also one of those movies that you can watch over and over, and see things you missed. I'm glad I bought it.

Summary: Great DVD, 2 Star Movie!
Review: Wild Wild West as a movie is fair. Not exactly horrible, but not great. As for the DVD, it's great! Enough extras to satisfy me and the DVD transfer is very good. Going back to the movie, I'll have to say this: the acting was good, the special-effects good, the plot bad, the villain: Very Annoying! I forget who played the villain, but I have to say that he didn't act well in this movie, his accent was fake, and you weren't even scared of him. Villains are supposed to be scary OR a villain can be funny and frightening(as in Men In Black), but this villain lacks both qualities. Plus, this movie was supposed to be a comedy-action, but it wasn't funny. But still, the DVD's good and it's good when you just want to sit down and watch a movie.

Summary: Didn't I Say I's The Quickest They Is...?
Review: "Wild Wild West" is an all-around exaggerative look at early Western civilization. This movie lived, somewhat, up to the hype (to my shagrin). I thought it would be terrible as a result of too much publicity & merchandising. But I was wrong. Didn't pay too much attention to the storyline to condemn or commend it, but action/comedy-wise, it was a '99 contender for best movie of the year (with a cool Smith song to boot). Smith & Kline are like Brains &... Ego, but Smith entertains with action/wit, Kline humourously comes up with inventions of modern-day America, and Salma Hayek... is brought in to, merely, look good. It's bold in the end when West & Gordon realize that she's married to an old man, let alone... married at all! After all the previous good-natured sparring between West & Gordon on who has more appeal to her. Highlights of the film are "Jim West in the descending water tower," "Artemus Gordon's sick humour," "West's impending hanging amongst the gallows for blunderheadely, but unintentionally insulting a white woman," "West's gypsy act to throw off no-legs Arliss Loveless," "the magnetic neck-braces/jump into the mud," "Artemus' beguiling impersonation of Ulysses S. Grant," & "the big Tarantula-bot fight scene with Loveless, yep... he died (well-deserved)." When it comes down to it, Smith did a pretty good job without a stunt double (in 90% of the fighting). Still doesn't live up to "Men In Black" & "Independence Day," but certainly no chump in comparison. In short, a barrell-o'-guns... a blast! Parental discretion for children under 13.

Summary: Big Willie Style
Review: Will Smith makes this movie work. The scenes are excellent and the movie is super. The action is great and the soundtrack is awesome. As far DVDs go it is also a superb release with the many amenities it has to offer. It might not be as big a hit as his previous movies but it was definitely entertaining for family viewing. The opening scene was hillarious. Another winner for Big Willie Style.!

Summary: Not THAT bad.
Review: Okay, look. This movie isn't going to win any awards or anything, but it was NOT the wreck that everbody says it is. I've seen far worse. Will Smith is amiable as always, Kevin Kline is decent in his supporting role, and Branagh makes a cool villain. The F/X are well done and the DVD has a ton of extras. The down side is that the dialog is cheesy at times and Selma Hyek seems to have no real purpose. But, other than that, its fairly entertaining. Just check your brain before viewing and you'll be fine.

Summary: DVD Quality Review
Review: The presentation of this film, in raguards to completeness of content, is excellent. Just about everything that could be included with the film is included. However, I do not remember seeing any out takes. There are several behind the scenes featuretts, two music videos, and several still photos. This DVD is definitely one of the most complete around. The film transfer is also high quality. ** This is not a review of the actual film, but of the Quality of the DVD Disc.
