1999
9 out of 10
The Wild Wild West is a 1999 American steampunk western action-comedy film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. It is a big-screen adaptation of the 1965-1969 TV series, The Wild Wild West. I stars Will Smith, Kevin Kline (dual roles: protagonist Artemus Gordon and President Ulysses S. Grant), Kenneth Branagh, and Selma Hayek.
Like the series, the film features a large amount of gadgetry serving as a parody as the gadgetry is more highly advanced with implausible steampunk technology and bizarre mechanical inventions like flying machines, steam tanks and a giant mechanical spider. Wild Wild West was a commercial disappointment since it cost $170 million and earned a mere $222.1 million.
Thoughts
I like this movie. Fun, bizarre with a bit of imagination required.
Plot
Two Secrete Service agents, equipped with a wide variety of gizmos and gadgets work for the government in the Old West.
