Wild Wild West (1999)


After enjoying Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, I was in the mood for something different. But, with the girls running in and out of the house, my choices are limited. In the end I decided to revisit 1999s Wild Wild West.


Plot/ The two best hired guns in the West must save President Grant from the clutches of a 19th century inventor-villain.


I remember the TV show, which was an interesting blend of the West and Sci Fi action, and it helped make my Saturday mornings before Super Host more interesting. Unfortunately, this movie did not do the same. Yes, watching it again now (11 or so years later), actually added some entertainment value with the Steampunk feel, but it is still a bad movie. Yes, there are some good points that boast solid acting and decent direction. However, the scripting and some of the performances really brought this flick down. Honestly, this may be one of the worst screenplays ever! All-in-all, it has entertaining moments, but if this is what you are craving, check out the original TV show or even The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr, they are so much better.
