Amazon.co.uk Review

Wild Wild West, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, Get Shorty), was one of the box-office smashes of the summer of 1999 but was raked by critics and embraced by audiences. Based on the 1960s TV adventure show that starred Robert Conrad, this film re-imagined Secret Service agent James West as Will Smith, adding Oscar-winner Kevin Kline as his sidekick, agent-inventor Artemus Gordon. President Ulysses S. Grant puts West and Gordon on the trail of malign genius (and former Confederate soldier) Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) in a story about racism, partnership and world domination. The special effects are lavish, even garish, but not all that special; they're not enough to elevate a mundane and familiar plot. Even Branagh, playing a man who only exists from the waist up--literally--can't find the juice in this lumbering affair. Still, the fast-talking team of Smith and Kline is a nimble one. Smith's affable charm and Kline's subversive wit win many points, though not nearly enough.--Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars A small, positive piece of information, 29 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Wild Wild West despite being a highly slated film by critics it is an action - packed witty and charming movie. Kevin Kliine and Will Smith are hilarious. Kenneth Brangh co-stars as the baddie who has lost both of legs in a freak accident so he builds lots of things to do with legs for himself. I would buy this video, if only I diden't have it on DVD. It kind of is trying to spoof westerns in a way. The acting is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first 'steampunk' film?, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Oh dear, oh dear - could it be that, yet again, the closeted community of film critics has missed the point entirely? Fulminous rumblings about historical innaccuracy are magnificently irrelevant when applied to this film, which seems not so much a Western or a straightforward action movie as an earnest attempt to create the first true 'steampunk' film. For those who don't know, or simply don't care, about science fiction (and shame upon you, you staid stay-at-homes), 'steampunk' is a label popularly applied to recent works of fiction that take the essence of 'cyberpunk' (outlandish hi-tech, meganational companies and conspiracies, and hard-as-nails streetwise lead characters) and transplant it into the latter half of the nineteenth century. It's often a joy to see how 'steampunk' writers rise to the challenge of rebuilding (or is that prebuilding?) technology that we take for granted today with the science and resources available a century ago. 'Wild Wild West' satisfies. The trick of using Leonardo daVinci's sketches is an old one, but a particular delight is the scene in which Artemus Gordon makes literal use of the old adage that a dead man's retinas will retain the last image he sees. And if you were expecting the plot to be given to you on a plate, why didn't you buy one of the swathes of dreary romantic comedies or monotonous 'hi-octane' thrillers that pollute the shelves of your local video store? 'Wild Wild West' is for thinkers, dreamers, and above all those who can appreciate a little imagination.

3.0 out of 5 stars At least it's different..............., 22 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild Wild West (widescreen version) [DVD] [1999] (DVD)
It has become fashionable to trash this movie which is a shame because it has a lot to commend itself to the viewer. An amusing script,an unusual blend of familar and unfamilar visaul effects,the watcher is transported back to the old West of Gunslingers only to be reminded of the new West of technogly and innovation. The main characters perform well against each other and appear to enjoy the experience. The DVD is packed full of extras - it won't be the worst purchase you have ever made.
