Plunkett & Macleane'; what 'Wild Wild West' should have been

On the surface, any comparison of Plunkett & Macleane to the bloated failure Wild Wild West cannot be flattering. They share a basic structure: period action-adventure with humor and modern cultural references, a big female name as a draw, plenty of shooting, and a nefarious villain. Thankfully, Plunkett & Macleane combines these elements and achieves a far better result than its cousin. This time around, the ride is fun.
