I've seen Wild Wild West an embarrassing number of times. For some reason, it was the one and only bootleg VHS we owned when I was a kid, and I watched the hell out of it.

This movie is so goddamn stupid and I just don't understand how everyone doesn't have a soft spot for it. I mean.. a gigantic terrible CGI robotic spider? Come on. That is so stupid that it can't not be badass.

Plus if you ever happen to find yourself watching it with me, you will have the pleasure of me flawlessly singing the end song in its entirety to you. And you will enjoy it. 'Cause you don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at.

Viewed on Netflix

In the late 90's, Will Smith was Mr. Summer Blockbuster.
1996- Independence Day
1997- Men In Black
1998- Enemy Of The State
It looked like he could do no wrong, then...
1999- Wild Wild West
It was such a disaster, director Barry Sonnenfeld has still yet to recover.
He's been reduced to making Men In Black sequels to keep working.
Kevin Kline was once a highly touted actor. His career hasn't been the same since.
It seems Selma Hayek is the only one to come out unscathed.

This is how bad Wild Wild West is.

Also..I understand the obligatory Will Smith song during the end credits but what's with the Enrique Iglesias song?

Just awful.

Bombastic, meaningless, but suitably fun, Barry Sonnenfeld's "Wild Wild West" is a typical, empty blockbuster. The sci-fi-tinged Western, based on the mid-1960s television series, does not offer much in the way of depth; but a stellar cast and capable energy turn it into something engaging. Sonnenfeld wrings the charisma out of his characters and makes the most of the story's semi-steampunk pretensions. The film's charms may only be skin deep, but they are enough to make for a noisily enjoyable experience.

Bizarre Genreüberschneidungen, die mir schon immer besser gefallen haben als den meisten.
Etwas übertrieben ist die Tabu-Mischung eines Steampunk-Western schon, viele Gags schießen hart am Ziel vorbei und das Spiel der Darsteller variiert von befremdlich zu overacted, aber das brutale Chaos Wild Wild West bringt durch seine andersartige Gestalt als Adventure-Actioner mit absurden Sci-Fi-Kniffen ziemlich Spaß.
Die Chemie der Lead-Men kommt und geht je nach Dialogschwäche, aber ein sympathisches Gespann geben Will Smith und Kevin Kline allemal, auch die hoch budgetierten Effekte treffen den ungewöhnlichen Tonus des Filmes, nur wirklich furchtbar bleibt Kenneth Branaghs Performance als überdrehter Bösewicht Dr. Arliss Loveless.
Der Plot lebt nicht von Intelligenz oder Spannung, wodurch ich diesen wilden Mix aber zu schätzen weiß ist die unschlagbare Kreativität mancher Szenen und technischer Erfindungen innerhalb der Fiktion, Wild Wild West verbindet seine Überzahl wirrer Ideen zu einem bombastischen Westerncomic, dessen Trashgehalt aus jedem Scharnier raucht, aber ein unvergleichliches Filmerlebnis zusammenschustert, das Originalität beweist, die viele abschrecken wird.

none of the parents guides mention this but you can see will smith's dick & balls in the first scene of wild wild west. it must be like when john ritter's balls fell out on threes company?? also this movie rules

Probably not the worst movie ever made, but almost certainly the lamest. Every joke, every set piece, every character falls so flat that the movie is practically an ongoing chain of hydraulic presses compacting itself into oblivion, flattening the film into a pancake and that pancake into a crêpe. It's Hollywood run-off, an amalgamation of the studio system's absolute dumbest ideas, releasing in 1999 as if to summarize the decade's worst filmmaking tendencies. It's not a particularly insulting movie, but it's downright impossible to resist hating it; you have to give it that half star because it feels so good to. Picture the scripts for every movie ever made lying out in front of you. This is the one that's covered in the most cocaine.

Interracial steampunk love story falls flat.

ulysses s grant is stone COLD aint breaking no sweat, serving all the sass

My gawd!

This shit is horrible.

Cross dressing, lame attempts to be suave and an obnoxious script doomed this movie from the start.

If it hadn't been for Will Smith and his legendary charisma this shit would've remained a forgotten cinematic tragedy. Now, it is remembered to his everlasting shame.

Say what you want about this movie and there IS much to say about it. This movie is bad. In fact it is terrible but it is ambitiously bad. This movie was considered the worst movie of 1999 and I reject the notion that this movie is somehow worse than Baby Geniuses or Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo. I would rather see an absolute trash fire like this than a milktoast nothing of a bad film any day.

I think I like this movie more than I should because I watched it as a little kid and Will Smith looks good in drag

This movie was beyond stupid, beyond crass, beyond belief that it was actually released with blockbuster aspirations.

I kinda liked it

My subtitles for this movie:
*Cries in Spanish*

You know... Johnny hate to nitpick... but they spent MOST of this film in the East.

Can’t believe they wrote such a shit movie based off the greatest song ever written.
