Let's get this out of the way first: Wild Wild West is not actually a good film. It is delightfully terrible in every possible way, but despite that, I love it.
The storyline? Ridiculous. A mad doctor, who wants to make his fortune by forcing the president to sell off the United States, or else he will destroy the country with his giant, steam-powered spider robot.
The heroes? A black captain and a self-proclaimed master-of-disguise and inventor US Marshal, who of course spend the entire film arguing, as is tradition in this sort of comedy.
The special effects? Technically well done, but once again, utterly ridiculous. There's the aforementioned robot spider, a prehistoric motorbike turned into an aeroplane, a hypno-disc bra, magnetized collars at which giant revolving sawblades are fired... The list goes on.
The jokes are stale, the acting is so over the top it becomes a parody of acting, the sex scenes aren't sexy, the action scenes are completely beyond belief, the plot twists aren't very twisty, and yet, like I mentioned earlier, none of this seems to matter.
So yeah. I will gladly admit to this film being one of my guilty pleasures. It's a bit like eating hamburgers: You know there's nothing good in them, you know they make you fat and give you acne, and yet you can't help but enjoy them, every time you have one.
