n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

First off they recast James West, an iconic BLACK character as WHITE! I mean I understand a TV spin off like this couldn't afford a star like Willard Smith but come on! there are so many talented black actors that could've taken on the role I'm so tired of this blatant Hollywood whitewashing. The casting isn't the only outdated thing in this train wreck. The production values are TERRIBLE I mean it looks like the whole thing was filmed in the '60's or something! The first season is in black and white for peat's sake! Trying to make up for budget constraints by giving the series a 'retro' feel but at the same time losing the steam punk and socially progressive elements that made the original Film such a masterwork. And don't get me started on the theme song! they've traded in the incredible collaborative efforts of Kool Moe Dee, Rob Fusari, Stevie Wonder and Willard Smith himself for something that sounds more like it belongs at the beginning of the Brady Bunch! Last but certainly not least *SPOILER WARNING* there was not a single giant mechanical spider to be seen! very disappointing. Bottom line, save your time and just go and re watch the original movie instead.

Having watched season 1 on DVD all i can say is wow. I watched them all as a kid and pretended i was Jim West! Yea, the dialog is a bit campy here and there, and the action was a bit formulated... but the sets, fights, plots, gadgets, and acting were ALL top notch. Surely this show had influence on many of those that came after it. I reveled in it, i really wish I could tell Mr Conrad and Mr. Martin (dead now) how absolutely enjoyable these shows still are and how well they still stand up. Absolutely one of the best shows to ever hit television for sheer entertainment value. Loved the DVD set - great little extra's.No stops pulled on the creative elements either - even the animation and music fit perfectly and are really unique.

I was a TV kid in the sixties, and that's when all the really fun shows came out, with Wild Wild West high on the favorite list. Westerns were fading in the sunset of viewer interest and spies and sci fi was coming on the scene. Why not combine all of them into one amazingly creative and entertaining program? Of course the show will only go so far if there is no chemistry with the cast. All is present in those regards. Robert Conrad and Ross Martin had such engaging rapport that they remained friends off the set as well. Even with the fifteen year difference between them they were a team, and the regard they had for one another truly showed.WWW blended parody with western style 007 tricks and action packed conflict. On top of well-written, engaging scripts big name guest stars like Boris Karloff, Richard Pryor, and Sammy Davis Jr added to the fun. It seems ironic that the show ended because the network felt it was too violent. Compared to what is available today, WWW was Romper Room. Even when the bad guys were shot there wasn't any blood! I'm now introducing WWW to my own kids and with the series out on DVD it makes for a great family hour (and hours) of viewing. Just like the good old day, and no commercials!

Ladies' man James T. West (Robert Conrad) and his partner Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) are undercover agents working for President Grant. You can totally feel the chemistry between the two and in real life they were actually close friends. This show is adventurous, fun, and sometimes comical. No one can watch it and say truthfully that they don't like it because that is impossible. One of my favorite villains, Doctor Loveless, is in many episodes and even though he is frustrating, you gotta love him. So, if you are a bad guy and you the man in the blue suite, just leave and forget committing your crime. It's not worth it because Jim always gets his man...and in between sometime he always gets the girl, too.
