Thoughts on Wild Wild West
I have to agree with the
reviewer. The movie isn’t as bad as I
remembered it. I remember being
disappointed with the movie when I saw it in theaters. I remembered all the hype and promotional
saying this was the next MIB. The movie
isn’t good, but certainly not as bad a MIB2.
I remember reading in a
magazine that movie went through major re-shoots because test audiences didn’t
like the movie. That is never a good
sign.
Notes
-Will Smith stated that he
regretted making this film over The Matrix. He was their first choice in the Neo role in the Matrix
movie. He turned them down for
WWW.
-Research?: The they even
bother watching the old TV show? Other
than the names, this movie is nothing like the TV show. I used to watch that old show all the
time.
-Giant Spider: Yes, the giant spider is stupid, but the
ending payoff was kind of cute. Riding
off into the sunset with a giant robot is nice touch.
-Re-shoots: You can clearly tell where they added the
re-shoot scenes. The “boob grabbing”
scene is one, because it has nothing to do with the plot. The magnet running scene with the two
falling in the mud is another one. The
extra bad guys at the end were added too.
-Salma Hayek looks
lovely. I also like that ass shot in
the movie. Did I mention I have a huge
crush on Salma?
-Why exactly is Bai Ling in this movie? She only serves to make the “East meets West
joke” and dies.
-What did
happen to the metal guy fighting Will Smith at the end? : Why did he just
short out. Bad editing?
-The movie is just as patched
together as Jonah Hex, but this movie is far more amusing than Hex.
-Drag Queen: This movie loves putting its stars in
drag. None of it is even remotely
funny. And, it gets embarrassing for
Will when he does it.
-Loveless was a little person
on the show. They completely missed the
mark.
She is so damn hot/cute.

Will Smith is going to show you his "Big Willie Style".

Yeah, I always loved that story. I also like the bit with Burton and Smith having a spat in a newspaper.
Smith actually has a cameo in the movie Superman Doomsday where he comments on a giant spider Toyman controls. I have to find it somewhere
Whenever I try to explain steampunk to people who have no idea what it is, I use this movie to get them closer to understanding.
Poor substitute, but when explaining stuff like that to my mom, it's the closest she'll come!
Yeah, this movie has some heavy Steampunk feel to it. I think Johan Hex is another movie in that same grouping too, but not nearly as good either.
