I actually liked Wild Wild West. More so than the Independence Day by far.

I'm guessing it helps a lot not having exposure to the TV show.

Well, one had a lot more Salma Hayek in it than the other, but I don't think that's where you were going with that.   :P

Independence Day is possibly the greatest film of the nineties.

Sure, if it was lying around in a vault for a century.

I have seen Independence Day used as a model in film school.

Though I suppose Sav will be along to say some of Melies' films were better.

:huh:

I'm serious. The first act, with the foreshadowing and building up of the aliens is pretty well done. One of my teachers used it as an example of building up tension. He thought the rest of the movie was shit.

Personally, it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

I'm honestly surprised it's not universally loved and celebrated :o
