Will Smith's (and Kool Moe Dee's original) song Wild Wild West is way better than the movie Wild Wild West. I understand why they wanted to make this film, and I understand the cool factor in casting Will Smith, I'm fine with all that. But come on, how did this script ever get approved? I couldn't summarize the plot if I tried, I can't remember anything besides a stupid giant mechanical spider thing.
Salma Hayek looks hot, which is a nice diversion. It helps you forget that the story is so unimaginative. Nice try, Sonnenfeld. Word on the street is that this is supposed to be a comedy. I'm not sure I believe that rumor, considering I don't remember laughing even once. Live and learn, I guess.

You can try to find the jokes, but it's like a Where's Waldo book.
