brilliant actors, brilliant editing

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

7/10 Acting -This movie is supposed to see like a really good genre of comedy. Which the acting fits perfect into. The actors make the comedy so fun, and extremely golden! Also amazing that Mike Myers plays 3 roles in this movie!6/10 Plot - The plot is a bit weird, childish plot. Dr.Evil wants to destroy the world. But that also what makes this movie funny. Can't tell the plot without a spoil for the other movies. But it's a hell of a good one.9/10 Characters - The characters in this movie is so amazing, we have so many different characters with a whole different personality. Accents for different characters, and a funny way to show off each character. All Mike Myers characters is really different, so really well made!5/10 Effects - Remember! It's an old movie. But it is good effects for such an old movie. Some of the effects is also used for a funny side of angle. Which makes this movie perfect!

Has some absolutely hilarious moments in this movie, but unfortunately you have to watch the whole thing to find them. A movie which main jokes revolve around part of the male anatomy is pretty much a waste of time apart from a few scenes.

Mike Meyer's three Austin Powers flicks parody James Bond and the swinging 60s-70s. They are as follows: "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997), "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) and "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002). What's interesting about these films is that Austin Powers (the character) is not a full spoof of 007 as he's his own character, just with Bond-like qualities.Anyway, I wasn't sure I wanted to review any these flicks because, by doing so, I'm admitting that I actually watched them (lol)! I say this because they're so goofy, juvenile, silly, sometimes raunchy (more verbally than pictorially) and filled with toilet humor. So I was never a fan and didn't even watch any of them until 2009. What turned me off? Besides the toilet humor and raunch, Powers (the character) seemed to have a gayish quality despite being a renowned ladies man in the stories. A good example is when he says, "Oh, beHAAAve," which never struck me as funny, just gay.I've since seen all three twice and, despite my reservations about Powers and distaste for toilet humor, I do enjoy the zaniness and stoo-pid humor. If you can catch a grip with these films they're laugh-out-loud funny about a third of the time, sometimes more depending on the movie."Goldmember" is my second favorite of the trilogy behind "The Spy Who Shagged Me." It has the best opening, by far, with unexpected cameos and the first half is often laugh-out-loud funny. If it kept up the laughs it would've taken first prize, but the second half loses its mojo, while still being likable and amusing. Beyoncé takes the place of Heather Graham as Austin's babe while Fred Savage plays Number Three and Michael Caine appears in a pretty significant role.Best quote: "Riiiiiiigggghhhttt." The film runs 94 minutes and was shot in Southern California; Reno, Nevada; Moab, Utah; and England.GRADE: B

So the first and second films in the Austin Powers were pretty funny. It parodied the inherent camp of the old 007 films of the 60's and 70's making Mike Myers a huge star. This was the third film he starred in as the character and it shows it's age. The "Yeah, baby" catchphrase was old and there's only so much of one actor playing a bunch of unfunny one liner characters you can watch. It seems these days if you want to see a comedian trying to hard to be funny then look for a fat suit or other outrageous costume and multiple roles in one film. The saddest thing is when viewing a movie like this is that you know Mike Myers is capable of something better. He's a versatile performer, a good writer and has shown some serious acting talent in films like 54. This movie came across as a desperate attempt at making money.
