There are six writers and eight producers listed in the credits. Is it any wonder that it feels like an amalgamation of mismatched bits and pieces?

Reviews for Wild Wild West
The plot and action are so preposterous that it's jarring when the movie tries to introduce serious business.
10/15/02
It makes for a satisfying summer moviegoing experience.
09/10/02
Though Wild Wild West's story never comes together (what Salma Hayek's character has to do with anything is a mystery), it generates a good amount of laughs.
07/02/02
The ace in the hole in Wild Wild West is Shakespearean Kenneth Branagh as the villain, Loveless.

Top CriticThe script is serviceable and sporadically amusing but lacks spark and polish; the pacing feels not brisk but downright brusque.

E a história?

...it has so many gadgets and gizmos in it that it sinks under its own weight.

The movie's problem is that it's a cartoon, offering no emotional involvement with its characters and no dramatic imperative.

This film is fun most of the time.

Top CriticA totally derivative pastiche...Plenty of lame jokes!
01/01/00
If you don't think Kevin Kline in drag is funny, wait 'til you see Will Smith in drag -- it's even less funny.
01/01/00
The latest in a tiresome stream of adaptations of old television shows.
