Movie Review
Grade: D+
The last time Will Smith teamed up with director Barry Sonnenfeld, the funny and original Men in Black was created. This time, they've tried to make a second Hollywood Blockbuster, Wild Wild West, also starring Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh and Salma Hayek. Wild Wild West is based on the television western (which I have never seen), but this movie is definitely not a western. In fact, Wild Wild West seemed to struggle with its genre; in some parts, it was western, in others, it was sci-fi, in some scenes, it was comical, in other scenes, it wasn't. So does Wild Wild West live up to the hype? Read the full movie review
