Wild Wild West

Steampunk Blockbusterdom!

Barry Sonnenfeld's Wild Wild West is a film that I have avoided for over 15 years. I have no frame of reference with the source materials, but even though I'm a big Westerns fan, it wasn't this, or the critical pounding it got on release, that kept me away. It was the or...

I felt entertained by this.

It is a very bonkers film, though it actually works stupidly well in my opinion - the steampunk theme helps it of course. Will Smith and Kevin Kline are a good pairing as West and Gordon. Kenneth Branagh (Arliss) is amusing, I rate his character's design too.

THE GOOD:

1. It's funny
2. Got good action
3. The music video is awesome
4. It stars Will Smith and Kevin Kline

THE BAD:

1. It didn't live up to the original series
2. Over the top storyline
3. I hate spiders!

THE UGLY:

1. This rating right here!
