Review of Wild Wild West (1999) by Dan H — 05 Apr 2017
An awful movie. The sets are good, there are maybe 5 or 6 chuckle-worthy moments, Will Smith is halfway decent at odd intervals, and I like that spider at the end for some odd reason. Unfortunately, about 97% of the jokes fall flat (especially the uncomfortable amount of black jokes), and the action/adventure partsdon't rear their heads all that often.
This is, unfortunately, a film that is more-so interested in being a weird buddy cop comedy(Where the buddy cops are constantly at each others' throats, not fun. Also, both cops are assholes in their own ways) than an adaptation of the old TV show.
This was also the film that committed the unforgivable sin of giving us Will Smith in drag (MY EYES!!!!). I don't know who they thought this movie would appeal to? As is, Wild Wild West is a slog that is sure to appeal to absolutely no one.
Skip It!
