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.

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.

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.

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.

It's terrible but it's a fun time.

Everything about this movie is so fucking wrong, and yet everything is just perfectly right. An absolute odyssey of a movie that is a perfect little time capsule into the absurd bombastic blockbuster movies of the 90s.

fuck y'all this is fucking brilliant

The movie itself is absurd, but it's still a ton of fun and definitely one of the iconic Will Smith performances. Great song too. I'm giving it a higher rating purely because of the memories attached to it. I rode across Iowa with my dad wearing 2 dollar Wild Wild West shades from Burger King that he got me. I also used to watch movies all the time with my mother until she started getting more sick and then for years we stopped watching anything. Out of the blue she asked me to come watch Wild Wild West with her and it was one of the most enjoyable movie viewings I've ever had with her. We had a blast.

This movie is an example of the insanity that was late 90 Hollywood

This is the worst film of all time. Don't @ me.

I think this movie wasn’t meant to be taken seriously when Will Smith dresses up like a gypsy and uses a flamethrower coming from the fake breasts, in which I call them, THE FLAMING BOOBS FROM HELL!

wild

also the homophobia/transphobia is not aging well to put it kindly
