Summary: Wild Wild Waste
Review: Good talent gone to waste with a dreadful script. It's supposed to be humerous and off the wall, but nothing seems to work, the gags, the clever effects, and expensive production all gone to waste! You'd think someone would have picked this up on the rushes! Anyhow, 2 stars for the expensive sets and game try by the cast!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wild Wild West
Review: Ilike wild wild west as a kid on tv but like the moive but there was some thing missing, from the moive.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: oh, the horror!
Review: I was expecting Men In Black II. I didn't even get They Still Call Me Bruce. The jokes go nowhere, Kline and Smith mix about as well as oil and water and there's so many holes in the story you have to start wondering how a studio could even let this movie pass. Where was the mighty MPAA when this waste of time and money was being unleashed on the movie going public? Fighting to keep a couple of naked bodies covered in a movie specifically made for adults.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as bad as I expected
Review: Hollywood has a horrendous track record when it comes to adapting television to movies, with only two actual succeses--The Fugitive and The Untouchables. For the most part they tend to vary between average (The Addams Family) to thoroughly lame (Lost in Space). After all of the dissing Wild, Wild West received, I was expecting something of the Lost in Space caliber.

Maybe I was just in the right mood, but this movie actually amused me. It isn't great, but it isn't as muddled or heavy-handed as Lost in Space. Salma Hayek is underused, and Kenneth Branaugh's performance is hysterically awful, but it has a certain charm, like a lesser James Bond movie.

Barry Sonnenfield keeps the pace light & breezy, just fast enough to cover up those multiple plot holes. All in all, a silly movie to pass the time or provide a cheap chuckle.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wild Wild Disappointment
Review: I was really excited about seeing this one. Will Smith never fails to give a blockbuster, Kevin Kline is witty and Kenneth Branaugh is one of my favorite actors. Even Salma Hayek proved herself in "Hunchback of Notre Dame" (NOT THE DISNEY VERSION - this one is the beautiful, yet depressing one made for cable). However, West really didn't know where to go - it's beginning was the worst part. I couldn't understand a thing at all. Then the movie lifted up, but not enough to make it excellent. The biggest letdown was Will Smith. Gone is the Fresh Prince we once knew. Smith is toally dead in his performance; he is not funny at all and spends his time talking about women's breasts and butts. It got really tired after a while. Kevin Kline turned in a good show, but not enough to save the picture. Kenneth Branaugh was reduced to a small pathetic "villian" character. And Salma? What the hell was she doing in this movie. MAJOR LETDOWN, but still not so bad. It has its moments, so give it a try but don't buy it. It's not really worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A thrilling, enjoyable movie.
Review: I thought that wild wild west was an oustanding movie. THough many of my fellow colleagues have seen it, they don't seem to have the same perspective as I do. I love Salma Hayek and I also love Willm Smith. They are two great actors. I found this a thrilling, enjoyably movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Should have been titled "Wild Wild WORST"!
Review: When you go to see a Will Smith movie, you expect it to be entertaining and fast-paced. A movie with Kevin Kline might have your expectations leaning more in the direction of cerebral, tight-knit & solid entertainment. If Salma Hayek is in it, well ....at least you expect a flick with visual appeal ...1, 2, 3 STRIKES...Wild Wild West STRIKES OUT! TALK ABOUT DROPPING THE BALL ! Will Smith, whose laid-back, street-wise-cracking veneer,usually hides a well-focused on screen in- tensity that is both impossible to miss ordislike ...seemed to be sauntering through the film, feel- ing embarrassedly like a walking anachronism, con- sidering the "Old West" backdrop! Kevin Kline, on the other hand, who usually brings a certain air of bravura to his oft-times eccen- tric characterizations, seemed to display a marked inability to take himself seriously when in drag, (Which, unfortunately, is during a good chunk of the film)lapsing into a pathetic sort self-parody, which, considering the script, may have been the only way he could stomach the role ! Salma Hayek, for whom no one is exactly holding their breath for her to win an Oscar as Best Actress, seemed OBSESSED with getting her lines out with as little accent as possible...Despite the fact that she was clearly cast as Mexican in this film...(As opposed to her bit part in The FACULTY!) You could almost imagine "La Mejicanita" standing there, during shooting, with her Accent/ Dialogue Coach, just out of camera range! Salma... concentrate MORE on your ACTING, next time, O.K.?

As far as Barry Sonnenfled's Directing is concern- ed...well, here we could imagine him running around frantically, till the last minute, editing & re-editing, trying to decide exactly what it is he was trying to do with "WILD"....and of course, not even coming CLOSE to getting it right!

The ONLY reason I rated the movie 2 Stars (as op- posed to 0 Stars!) is because of the scope & the

novelty of the Special Effects. The idea of seeing all those well orquestrated, and at times visually stunning effects against an Old West backdrop was the only refreshing & original element in the film ...If you are not a diehard Special Effects buff, I can think of absolutely no reason on earth why you would find anything at all worth seeing in this pathetic excuse for a Blockbuster film !

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wild Wild West is a Wild Wild Western
Review: Will Smith changes from chasing aliens to a Western gun blazing federal agent in the new Apoc Western Sci-fi action comedy "WILD WILD WEST". Will teams with Kevin Kline (Dave) and Sexy Salma Hayke (From Dusk till dawn) and Kenneth Brannagh (Hamlet) for a Pullstring cowboy ride. Where a federal agent and a gizmo making sidekick team with a sexy performer to bring a legless foe to justice.

I give: Wild Wild West (9/10 For: Humor)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How Low Can You Go?
Review: Here's a brilliant idea for a summer blockbuster. Remake a much beloved TV series like Wild Wild West. Hire egomaniacal producer Barry Sonheim who actually brags he's throwing out everything generations of Americanas loved about this TV classic. Instead of hiring a gorgeous, handsome Jim West--someone like Mel or Brad or Russell Crowe, in the tradition of TV's sexy Robert Conrad, shock the legion of fans by hiring a--now get this--a black movie star! Boyish, flat-chested, unmuscular Will Smith. Smith a western hero star? They call this being "politically correct with a vengeance" in Hollywood. Then hire writers to weave a thread of virulent anti-white jokes and plot lines. Make every white person a bigot, a mental retardate, a psychopath. This is considered very cool and hip in today's Hollywood. Then have Will Smith make a hip-hop video which features an all-black cast. Whites are excluded. And Hollywood wondered why this disaster bombed so badly?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME MOVIES OF TODAY!
Review: Wild, Wild West is is totally awesome. Will Smith and Kevin Kline did an excellent performance. I cannot believe the critics gave this movie bad reviews. They should be ashamed of themselves. I love this movie and saw it twice at the movie theater. I felt Wild, Wild West was not as good as Independence Day, but a lot better than Men In Black. I am counting down the days for the release of this video. It will be a big part of my video library. WILL SMITH, KEVIN KLINE, GIVE YOURSELVES A BIG HAND FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
