Summary: The third movie is bad, but the so called box set is....
Review: EXPENSIVE! What is this, 60 bucks for 3 movies that you can buy for 10 dollars? I wouldn't waste your time on buying 3 seperate dvds for 60 bucks, just go buy them individually.The movies themselves are...
Movie 1-Great, new fun and perfectly cast. Everyone loves the first Austin Powers.
Movie 2-The best of all 3. This movie introduces mini-me and is the funniest one of them all.
Movie 3-Terrible, it lost everything. The jokes are all repeats, and Byonce has absolutely no chemistry with Mike Myers. We see her talking to him then BAM they are partners and it is almost stupid that he has to find ANOTHER new girl.

Summary: A DVD box set, WITHOUT the box!
Review: For some weird reason I've always enjoyed Mike Myers' ultimate vanity project, the Austin Powers flicks. Who needs high-concept humor when the lowbrow and sometimes-scatological variety will do just fine, ya know? But, let's get away from the movies proper and discuss the physical attributes of this particular DVD set. For one thing, I'm glad New Line finally took the hint and are starting to put their platters in plastic cases instead of those chintzy cardboard snappers that they and Warner Bros. have been using since they entered the digital disc market. All I can say is, it's about freakin' time! And in case you're worried 'bout whether or not the extra features that were available on the cardboard-case platters (audio commentary, deleted scenes, 'easter eggs', what-have-you) have been carried over to the re-releases, have no fear-they're all present and accounted for! But then there's the weird part: this so-called 'box set' doesn't actually include a box! The only thing keepin' the cases together is a little cardboard band. Sheesh-for the kinda bucks they're expectin' ya to lay down for these flicks, the least they coulda' done was throw in a proper slipcase... 'Late

Summary: Great for Late Nights
Review: Have you ever found yourself awake after many hours of tossing and turning in your bed? This is great for late nights such as these!!! You will be laughing until you fall over from exhaustion! I loved the 3rd movie - it was 10 times better than the two prior releases. (Although all 3 are wonderful)
The reason I marked this review down was that I found the same three disc pack for $... less at BestBuy. Great movie, but look elsewhere!!!

Summary: Rip-off set, horrible Beyonce!
Review: I agree with most of the reviewers here. The movies are pretty good and pretty darn funny. But the boxed set is such a rip-off I can't believe my stupidity. I could have bought each movie for $8, but instead I bought all three for $50. I was thinking maybe there was a bonus disc, but no. It is all exactly the same.
As far as the movies, I will give my short opinion. The first one is really good, and Elizabeth Hurley was great. I give it 4 stars. The second one is the best of the trilogy. I would give it 5 stars. Heather Graham I think is the best "Powers girl" of them all and Mini-Me is just too great. The third movie I would give 3.5 stars. It is very funny, but Beyonce ruined the whole thing for me. I just can't stand watching her, she is so awful. The music she sings is so dumb, her lines are so unoriginal, I could go on and on. Dr. Evil was hilarious, Michael Caine was great, Mini-me and Austin are always great. Even the younger version of Powers was great. Beyonce just ruined it!

Summary: Groovy Baby!
Review: I can't wait to get this groovy 3 pack! I think the Austin Powers movies are great! (...) 10/10 Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery - Great Great film. Truly an original. Mike Myers scores big with this one. I saw this movie 7 times in the theater. It has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and a true classic. Elizabeth Hurley is still the best Powers girl. 2/10 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - Terrible Terrible movie, what was Mike Myers thinking? They just recycled all the same Jokes from the first one. Heather Graham can't act to save her life. Fat (guy)is so gross and if you close your eyes you just hear Stuart Mackenzie, his scottish character from So I Marries An Axe Murderer. It was a really dissapointing and pointless sequal. I gave it 2 out 10 because there were some okay moments, like the Introduction of Mini-Me. I did laugh a couple of times, but I only saw this once in the theater and never again. 7/10 Austin Powers in Goldmember - Groovy Baby, now where back on track. Though not as original as the first, it was good to see a fresh Austin Powers movie that didn't borrow much from he first or second. It grows on you the more you watch it too. For instance the first time I watched it I didn't like the Goldmember character, but as I watched it more and more I began to apreciate the humor and respect the craziness of the character. Beyoncé Knowles is great. It was nice to see some who can act for a change after watching Heather Graham and her awful awful acting in the second film. I really liked the Foxxy Cleopatra character. Though I liked Vanessa Kensington from the first movie, I'm glad Beyoncés character was way different and not all [like prostitutes] like Heather Grahams character in the second film. Those are my two cents take it or leave it, to each our own. This may not be the best way to buy the films, but I like to buy movies as sets so alas I purchased it. Enjoy!

Summary: A Very Funny Series
Review: I have always enjoyed Mike Myers. He is a great comedian and is one of the best. But in the Austin Powers series, he does his BEST work out of all his movies. He is funny and will make you laugh out loud. Great movies for the family if your not to harsh on the movies the kids watch. What I mean by that is if you didn't let your kids see such movies like Mars Attacks!, Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, The Mummy, Dumb and Dumber, Police Academy and Scary Move 3. If you would let your kids see those movies, than these movies are perfectly harmless. So, make some popcorn and get groovin with Austin. Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery-This is a great film in the series but isn't exactly my favorite of the lot. It's hip and hilarious. It's a riot to watch. Me and my family laughed very hard. Ok when it comes to features. But I have seen better when it comes to features.
9/10
Rated PG-13 for nudity, sex-related dialogue and humor. Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me- This is my favorite of the series by far. It's gross with humor and it's very funny. It's gross when Austin drinks Fat B's crap. Funny, but sick. Anyway, the acting is perfect and the begining is one of the best parts through out the movie.
9/10
Rated PG-13 for sexuel innuendo and crude humor. Austin Powers in Goldmember-This is a funny film but just by a sliver wasn't as good as number 1. Anyway, the acting once again is perfect and the humor keeps flowing in over and over again. Yes, it is the grossest of the series by far. A couple sites even posted it to be rated R.
9/10
Rated PG-13 for sexuel innuendo, crude humor and language.

Summary: A must have trilogy for comedy lovers!!!
Review: I like this package. Austin Powers is truly a great trilogy. The only problem is that 2 of the DVD's are fullscreen and 1 is widescreen. I wanted all widescreen, but it's ok. I actually found it at my local Target. It was a great deal. Thanks Target! :)

Summary: Shagadelic Flashback to the 1990s!
Review: It's hard to believe almost 10 years have gone by since we first saw Mike Myers' Austin Powers character for the first time. These are among the funniest films made at the close of the 20th Century. For the most part, they are chock full of sightgags and silly puns and give Mike Myers ample opportunity to wear funny costumes and try out as many joke accents as possible. Myers rises to the occassion each time out, eventually playing 4 characters at once ala Peter Sellers.
As introduced in the first film (International Man of Mystery), Austin is swinging 60s' superspy who thinks he's a lot hipper than he really is. Think Sammy Davis Jr trapped in Davy Jones' body and you'll have an idea of what Austin is like before seeing him. Also introduced in the first film is Dr Evil (also played by Myers), a cross between Blofeld and Ed Sullivan. If anything, Dr. Evil has even better lines and gags than Austin himself.
The three films primarily spoof the James Bond series. The first film has strong overtones of both 'Diamonds are Forever' and 'Casino Royale' but Myers goes totally bonkers in the second film (Spy Who Shagged Me), in which 'Star Wars' and 'Moonraker' are yanked in for a well-deserved ribbing. The second film doesn't break as much ground as the first, but is arguably the funniest of the three as leading lady Heather Graham is the perfect partner in crime to Mike Myers' Austin character. Graham is the funniest of Austin's three leading ladies. Unfortunately, the third film (Goldmember) declines after a very strong start, coming across as a stitched-together effort to wring the last bucks out of the Powers franchise. If the series has a flaw, it's that few of the characters seem drawn from life, rather than pieced together as parodies.
If you like one Austin Powers movie, you'll like all three to various degrees. At this price, this is a good time to replace your battered VHS copies with nice, fresh DVDs.
