Was Wild Wild West the best film, NAY! piece of art, ever created?

[Atlas23]

Wild Wild West is a 1999 American steampunk western action-comedy film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. A big-screen adaptation of the 1965–1969 TV series The Wild Wild West, it stars Will Smith, Kevin Kline (who appears in dual roles as the protagonist Artemus Gordon and as President Ulysses S. Grant), Kenneth Branagh and Salma Hayek.

Similar to the series, the film features a large amount of gadgetry. It serves as a parody, however, as the gadgetry is more highly advanced, implausible steampunk technology and bizarre mechanical inventions, including innumerable inventions of the mechanological geniuses Artemus Gordon and Dr. Loveless, such as nitroglycerine-powered penny-farthing bicycles, spring-loaded notebooks, bulletproof chain mail, flying machines, steam tanks, and Loveless's giant mechanical spider.

Wild Wild West was an amazing film that managed to revive the original concept and brilliance of the 1960s TV series of the same name whilst showing everybody how far we've all come by replacing discernibly white guy Robert Conrad with discernibly not-white guy and wholesome rap artist, Will Smith (who, in a hilariously delicious twist, turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix to star in this film).

So, what do you all think? Was Wild Wild West the greatest film ever made? Just in case you're on the fence, treat yourself to this audible chocolate and let your answer be chosen for you. What could be more convincing to a 1860s belle than the slight rapey hint in that opening verse?

Saying that's the best film ever made is like saying a ron jeremy porno is the best you've ever seen.

JUST NO

 

[Yaayuh!]

[TheBDog]

Nah, bun

Lol just kidding Of COURSE it's the greatest film ever made. Jeez

 

[Tummy]

It is an abomination of film making.

 

[Desperado]

I can just imagine Will Smith as Neo now. It would be glorious. Perhaps Wild Wild West would've had Keanu instead and have been amazing.

Never seen it. From that clip it looks an entertaining enough b movie but certainly nothing approaching the best film ever made.

Yeh? Why don't you tell me a film you like, and I'll tell you how god awful it is!

 

[NVP]

You were serious?!

 

[Burnsy2023]

I like Will Smith and WWW is entertaining, but it's not a masterpiece by any extent of the imagination.

The only thing holding Wild Wild West back from being the best film ever made is that it wasn't directed by M.Night Shyamalan.

 

[TheBDog]

But.... it was so good! I watch it at least once a day.
