Wild Wild West contains some really interesting special effects. In fact, there are even times when I started to want to like this movie because of them. Even though Kenneth Branagh has both of his legs, for instance, you would never know it from this movie. Moreover, the incredibly huge mechanical spider seems to really be cruising across the deserts of the southwest. However, these special effects did not prevail. I still came out of this movie extremely disappointed. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was in the plot itself. Klein and Smith, while interesting and funny actors in their own right, are not able to revive a story that really has no point. I spent half the movie saying to myself, "What are they trying to do again?" The jokes are weak and immature. The character played by Salma Hayek is obvious eye candy. They don't even play the cool "Wild Wild West" song enough. I do not recommend even renting this movie. Better yet, wait until it goes on Blockbuster's favorites list, watch it, and return it for a store credit!
