Barry Sonnefeld and Will Smith struck some good gold with Men in Black. Could they do it again with a western steampunk adaptation of a '60s TV show? No. They failed miserably. We take a look at Wild Wild West, a film that has Smith and Kevin Kline teaming up to fight a spider-obsessed villain during Reconstruction. Despite it being one of the main causes of the Civil War and the villains motivation, slavery is barely touched on throughout this action adventure. At least the theme song is fun. Wicki Wicki.
