Wild Wild West (1999)
Very Entertaining
This movie is one of my favorites. I have my own copy of this movie. I have watched it several times and it is a very entertaining action/comedy/fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you have not seen it, I recommend seeing it. Don't watch the broadcast version because they edit out some of the scenes and details that make this movie great and flow.
This movie version adds it's own style and favor to the concept originated in the TV series and can stand on its own merit. The story and dialog is clever, well written and flows well.
The chemistry between Will Smith , Kevin Cline, and Kenneth Branaugh was good. In fact the entire casting was well selected and the interaction worked. I liked the fake Victorian hi tech gadgets such as the steam powered wheelchair used by Dr. Loveless, the internal combustion powered bicycle, the custom train coach with all of it's gadgets, the bicycle flying machine, the tank, Dr. Loveless'weapon of mass destruction, Artemis Gordon's spur powered grinding machine and his numerous other inventions and disguises, to name a few. Costumes, makeup, and sets were excellent.

A Masterpiece
Excellent movie of human love and love of classical violin. The plot and acting is superb. I highly recommend viewing this movie. Excellent facial expression and body language by the actors that tells the story without understanding the spoken language. Choice of music used was a plus. Interesting historic note, classical music and western music was banned during the Cultural Revolution of Chairman Mao. Musicians had to learn and practice this music in secret and underground. It is an inspiration to know that love is a driving force to succeed and accomplish in the face of obstacles and challenge. I've seen it twice. Once during vacation on a tour bus and on the Asian Entertainment Channel.
