KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

ShadeGrenade This made-for-television movie was my first real taste of 'The Wild Wild West'. It was shown in a peak-time slot one Saturday night on B.B.C.-1 in 1987. I enjoyed it then, but having seen the original series like it a lot less. It is now 1885, and both Jim West ( Robert Conrad ) and Artemus Gordon ( Ross Martin ) are no longer on active duty in the U.S. secret service, the former lives in Mexico, the latter is part of a travelling troupe of performers. Robert T. 'Skinny' Malone ( Henry Morgan a.k.a. 'Colonel Potter' of 'M#A#S#H' ), the new head of intelligence, brings them together for a perilous assignment - the son of the late Dr.Migelito Loveless ( Paul Williams ) has kidnapped the President of the U.S.A, Queen Victoria of England, the Tzar of Russia and the King of Spain and has replaced them with perfect doubles. The mad genius has also developed two super-humans he wittily calls 'Six Hundred Dollar People' as well as a prototype atomic bomb. West and Gordon's problems are further compounded by continual interference from other country's agents.The director was Burt Kennedy, whose speciality was comedy Westerns such as 'Support Your Local Sheriff' and 'Support Your Local Gunfighter' ( both starring James Garner ). Unsurprisingly, much of 'Revisited' has a jokey feel rather at odds with the more subtle humour of the series. At times it threatens to turn into another 'Blazing Saddles'. Conrad and Martin were thankfully young enough to play their roles without looking too ancient, but even so West's fights are nowhere near as thrilling as before. And where are his famous gadgets? He gets out of a dungeon with the aid of a lock pick! How disappointing. In the old days West would probably have blown the door off with a tiny bomb produced from his sleeve. As 'Loveless', the cherubic Williams is far more menacing than Kenneth Branagh in the 1999 movie.Jim and Arte re-teamed a year later for 'More Wild Wild West' which featured Jonathan Winters as an invisible villain. It was not much better than 'Revisited', and alas proved to be their swan-song.

solar12 The classic espionage TV series The Wild Wild West, which ran from 1965 to 1969 on CBS, was followed by two TV movie sequels: The Wild Wild West Revisited (1979) and More Wild Wild West (1980). The original series episodes ranged from thrilling espionage episodes to more comedic and campy ones, but the follow-up TV movies continued only in the campy and comedic vein. That was considered a let down by some fans of the series who were hoping for something closer to the more serious episodes of the show. I can understand their viewpoint, but I found both movies entertaining for what they were: a fun bit of escapism featuring the reunion of two favorite characters and the actors who played them. The chemistry between these guys can't be beat. Both movies have their weak points, but Conrad and Martin, reunited as an older West and Gordon, make for fun viewing.

grendelkhan I was excited when I first heard about The Wild Wild West Revisted. I loved the original series and enjoyed Conrad's more recent series, Baa Baa Black Sheep. I was all set to see one of my favorite series reborn. I was soon to learn a harsh lesson: you can't recreate the past.The movie finds Jim and Artie retired, but pressed back into service. Now, one thing they got right was not pretending that Jim and Artie were still young. Unfortunately, they used this to try to mine laughs, rather than drama. We are introduced to Dr. Loveless Jr., played by Paul Williams. It's a nice idea, and Williams tries hard, but it doesn't work (still better than Kenneth Branagh, though). Add 70's TV staples Shields and Yarnell, as steam era cyborgs (in a bad parody of The Six Million Dollar Man) and you have a complete mess.The elements that made the show great are missing. There are no wild stunts, no clever gadgets or steampunk devices (Shields and Yarnell aside) and it's rather lacking in the bizarre, or at least interesting bizarre. The atomic bomb shtick also ends up to be overly jokey.Conrad and Martin still had good chemistry, and it's fun to see them, but the material just wasn't there. Fan's would have been better off with a retrospective, or a more straightforward, dramatic script; but, instead, they get one big lame joke.

MovieCriticMarvelfan Since no one has commented on this flick, I guess I am the first one that has seen it. The tv movie doesn't quite live up to the series as far as the gadgets, but like a tradional western it has bar fights, a damsel in distress and other action, but fans looking for gadgets or huge explosions might be disappointed. Saw it on digital cable (eat your heart out, cheap cable subscribers). LOLIronically there was another Wild Wild West tv movie in 1980.
