Wild Wild West

This film really should have been great. On the negative side, Wild Wild West deserved a lot better than this half-baked effort. And even with some really well done special effects Gordon is actually my favorite character in this film. ... Full Review

There's only one really good thing about Wild Wild West....I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed in a movie.....Will Smith looks fabulous, darling, in his black suit, black hat, and dark glasses, riding his black horse.....this has been a lousy summer for movies.....The problem is the slim story:.... ...

As Jim West, Will Smith is Will Smith, still the suave, wise-cracking hero who saves the day.

the actors fill in the movie's gaps admirably.....like a mechanical road-show version of a hit Broadway musical....His speaking voice alone may be the movie's single greatest delight, his vowels like a smear of honey, lazy and golden and nastily sensuous.....Kevin Kline is so intuitive and so intelligent....The goofy gags and impressive effects felt pleasurably casual and effortless.... ...

Though the "good" wins in "The Wild, Wild West," there is no sense that the good is that much different from or even safer than the bad.
