I think it would have been better if there wasn't so much racism and such. I mean, we go to movies to suspend from reality right? If people wanted to see a movie about post reconstruction racism, Spike Lee can kick out another white girl + black man movie where all the white guys are dicks, completely ignoring the struggle many white people fought and died for in the movement for equal rights for all Americans, regardless of color, race, sex, or even sexual orientation. Hell, more whites died in the 60s over race than blacks at the hands of the KKK.
So yeah, the comedy in wild wild west sucked ass. Artemis was pretty good, though, and Salma is hot as always.
