One of the box-office smashes of the summer of 1999, this film by director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, Get Shorty) was raked by critics but embraced by audiences. Based on the 1960s TV adventure show that starred Robert Conrad, this film reimagined Secret Service agent James West as Will Smith, adding Oscar-winner Kevin Kline as his sidekick, agent-inventor Artemus Gordon. President Ulysses S. Grant puts West and Gordon on the trail of malign genius (and former Confederate soldier) Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) in a story about racism, partnership, and world domination. The special effects are lavish, even garish, but not all that special; they're not enough to elevate a mundane and familiar plot. Even Branagh, playing a man who only exists from the waist up--literally--can't find the juice in this lumbering affair. Still, the fast-talking team of Smith and Kline is a nimble one. Smith's affable charm and Kline's subversive wit win many points, though not nearly enough. --Marshall Fine
From The New Yorker
Gizmos, Gatlings, and wrought-iron whatnots. This piece of overproduced maniacal whimsy is set in the Grant Administration and features a Jules Verne system of design, heavy on gadgetry and industrial fantasy. The devices are intriguing, but they flash by without having much effect. The story has something to do with a legless madman (Kenneth Branagh) who wants to destroy the United States and the two federal agents (Will Smith and Kevin Kline) who try to stop him. The movie is exhausting, utterly without feeling, and pointless-though Smith looks great in his Western outfit. Written by six persons who cannot tell a story. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Cinematography by Michael Ballhaus. -David Denby
