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.
