Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wild Wild Fun
Review: This film is about a sharp shooting cowboy (Will Smith)and his scientist partner. The work as a team to try to save the world. This film is full of action, suspense and fall over laughter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: I think I enjoyed this movie, er, film more than the next guy because of my extensive knowledge of the so called "wild west." The thing people failed to realize about this film was how historically accurate it was. The makers of this delightful project paid attention to every, and I mean EVERY detail, just as it actually was. Almost to the point that I thought this was actually a documentary of some sorts!!! I mean, with pristine black uniforms never collecting any dust, silent, yet automatic wheelchairs, powerful electro-magnets, guys with metal brains, and giant mechanical spiders, you can't get closer the truth about how it actually was back then. All of these things actually happened!!! They just weren't widely reported. Having said this, be sure to check out "Wild Wild West"!!!....acually, this movie was horrible. Run from it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Like a Throwback to an Earlier Time
Review: "'The Great Race' of the Nineties" would best describe this exercise in overkill. Like that film, "Casino Royale," "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and many of the other big-budgeted flicks of the late 1960's, "Wild West West" suffers from a poor script, an overemphasis on state-of-the-art special effects, a performance from Branagh that would make a first-year acting student cringe, and a lackluster turn from stars Smith and Kline.

The only refreshing aspect of the film is Salma Hayek who tries her best to do much with very little...clothing, as well as dialogue.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: more Salma, more Salma
Review: The most cynical thing about the production of the WildWildWest is the utterly gratuitous appearance of (sigh)the incredible Salma Hayek. Salma was obviously cast in the movie in order to get viewers who voraciously watch everything that has (sigh)the incredible Salma Hayek in it.

What lost opportunities. We had the chance for several table dances by (sigh)the incredible Salma Hayek ala FromDusktilDawn. Instead she appears as a chracter with no logical connection to the plot (such as it is). If you can accept a black US Army Intelligence agent running around the antebellum South, then more power to you. Of equal jaw-dropping idiocy is the filmmakers' concept of a US Marshal who doesn't use guns. A sort of pre-modern McGuyver who risks the lives of groups of innocent people with explosive devices, rather than use "evil" firearms.

The only thing that could have saved this movies was a few table dances by (sigh)the incredible Salma Hayek. Instead we get disappointment. For shame, for shame.

Summary: Movie Making Hit An All Time Low
Review: I actually saw this movie in the theater. My friend and I almost walked out. The manager who had been working at that theater for 3 years explained that he has never seen such customer dissatisfaction over a single movie. The movie starts out bad and ends even worse (which is a miracle in itself). I found myself sighing throughout the entire flick. The movie concept was a good idea; however, it was done VERY, VERY badly. I would rather stare at goldfish in a bowl for two hours than to be forced to watch this again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Extremely Inventive!
Review: Will Smith, as the legendary Jim West, was a brilliant choice for this captivating remake. The special effects were exceptional and extremely inventive, but they did seem to go a bit overboard at times as did the entire plot. Kevin Kline, as Artemus Gordon, provides for some hilarious sidekick antics to West's straightforward but comedic demeanor. The DVD contains commentaries from the producer and director as well as a look behind the scenes into creation and mishaps of the production. After seeing all that went into the movie, I was able to appreciate it more. In true Warner Bros. Fashion, this movie watches more like a Bugs and Daffy cartoon than a Wild West Hollywood flick.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Winner of 7 Golden Raspberry Awards
Review: ...including worst screen couple & worst picture. Need I say more?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: .........
Review: what was going through sonnenfelds head when he filmed the third act of this thing? It looks like they cut alot of stuff out of it at for the final.The only thing worth rembering is that glimpse of salma hayeks butt.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Only 1 1/2 thumbs up
Review: In my youth the TV series "Wild Wild West" was one of my favorites. Many times I rushed home from school to see the latest episode... So I eagerly awaited the release of the new movie onto video. (Yes, I waited a while to write my review.)

I must admit, I was a bit disappointed... but mostly because I know how good the original series was.

In the movie Will Smith is a questionable choice for the role of James West. In the TV series, James West was a man with a cocky attitude and a reputation with the ladies, but Will Smith goes slightly overboard. Smith does have a tendancy to bring his own brand of low humor to his movies (although "Enemy of the State" showed his real talent as an actor), and it almost seems as if Smith is starring in the movie as HIMSELF, not James West.

Kevin Kline, on the other hand, performed a wonderfully accurate rendition of the Artemus Gordon character of the TV show. And all the costumes and gadgets that Artemus was known for in the series are here in the movie as well... including the tricked-out James Bond-style steam locomotive!

The villan's plot is even wilder than ever, thanks to modern Hollywood special effects. Although a 80 foot tall mechanical spider might be hard to believe, the TV series was equally unbelievable at times.

The begining of the movie was a bit hard to follow... but the story becomes clearer as the film progresses, and introduces some drama at points, while keeping a sense of humor.

In short, it is a disappointment compared to the long-late "Wild Wild West" TV show... but not bad as a movie. Even though it doesn't live up to the expectation of it's inspiration, it won't disappoint those who haven't grown up with the TV version.

The end of the movie seems to suggest there might be a sequel in the works... I nervously await its comming. Hopefully the few wrinkles in the first movie will be straightened out by then

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't Recomend this for those who like the T.V show
Review: Okay not to dissapoint anyone or anything but I didn't find this to be much of a good movie. For those who liked the T.V series you may find Several differences. I won't say them all now. But the film isn't all that you thought it to be. The plot won't really interest you at all. You may find it to be familiar and the villian doesn't look the same. (He actually in the movie is half a body on an automatic wheel chair.)The plot isn't as great as it sounds. The acting isn't all that good either. I found it to be a stupid movie. Well, it wasn't all that bad, it was kinda funny but from what i saw nothing could really save this movie. Not even Will Smith. I didn't find it interesting but i did find it funny. In conclusion its a very funny movie but thats the only reason i gave it 2 stars. Other then that not much worth your time. Maybe good to see once or twice but not really a 3rd time. I don't recomend this movie much at all but it is kinda funny to watch for the first time so i reccomend that you only rent the movie not buy but rent just to see if its too your liking first
