"The Golden Compass" had some steampunk overtones, especially the blimps.

I thought there was a shared consensus that we never mention that film again?

At least amongst the people who agreed to never mention it again, yes.

But it was the type of consensus that doesn't and shouldn't need to be spoken as is self-evident.

But of course. A film so monumentally bad they had to pay people to watch it.

Well I didn't pay to see "Wild Wild West" but I did see "Wild Wild West" on TV and I thought "Wild Wild West" is not bad, apart from the very corny one-liners.

I looked at it from the comic book graphic novel level and didn't see a problem with it. It amused me. I ask for no more from a movie.

I never read the graphic novel but I did flick through it and it seemed quite different to me from the film.
The film wasn't that bad though. Not great either. Just there.

Never picked up a graphic so I couldn't tell. I keep books and movies separate, the "apples v. oranges rule" would apply there.
