Review: Even better than the first! Non-stop laughs! Great extras on the DVD like deleted scenes and "behind the scenes." This is a must have!

Summary: Inappropriate for children, young teens
Review: The movie had its very funny moments. However, for me it followed a little too closely on the plot and jokes of the original Austin Powers. Granted, it is not easy to come up with totally fresh ideas and themes. Mike Myers has established himself as a comedy superstar, and I have little doubt that he could be funny even if he were locked in an empty room with no props. Along with a handful of the master comics, everything he does comes up with good laughs. This movie, for its weak points is no exception. There are several outrageously funny scenes. For my family, and we have four teen-agers in house, there were just too many references to male genitalia and other sexual themes. If I were watching it by myself, or in totally adult company, I would have been a lot more comfortable with it. However, recalling vividly my teen-age years, I know that my teen agers can do without such pointed reminders of their raging hormomes. (As if they NEEDED a reminder!) Overall, we were a bit disappointed with this flick. I really hope that the next one will come up with some new ideas, a little less of the sexual tones, and maybe even a better plot.

Summary: Overrated----and not that funny baby
Review: This movie was stupid--sort of one joke that went on for hours.Bits that were funny at first became boring.

Summary: Go back to the 60s!
Review: As the movie was released here, a Japanese magazine ran a special Austin Powers edition that tried to identify the genealogy (as Foucault would have put it if he had lived long enough and become quite senile) of The Spy who. you know, did that to me. Yet they forgot what provides the only authentic 60s reference in a movie that in this regard is a terrible disappointment compared with the prequel (think about that:in the prequel Austin drove a Jaguar E-type convertible painted in the Union Jack colours, in The Spy who... he drives a New Beettle, sic transit gloria mundi...): Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow Up. Now, Blow Up may be one of the most boring movies ever put on film, but the way it is abused by Mike Myers is indignant, it deserved a much better parody... Well anyway to get back to the Spy who shagged me, I am quite ready to sign a petition for the return of Lizz Hurley, for Mike Myers to go back to his sixties classics (parody is great, parody of parody (ie 1970s James Bond movies) is dull), and for another descent collection of shaggadelic music as was displayed in the first Austin Powers soundtrack.

Summary: Not as good as the 1st movie
Review: You have to be in the right mood to enjoy this movie. I had fun watching it but in the end, I felt that there should have been more compared to the first movie. There wasn't anything in this one to really make it more memorable.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Any movie that has a midget clone trying to gnaw on a hairless cat has to be a must see.

Summary: Austin Powers- the spy who bored me
Review: What a disapointement! The original was funny and entertaining, this one was extremely boring. Only a few scenes (not the tent one) are actually fun to watch. Is Mike Myers finished or is he been lazy trying to make quick bucks?

Summary: Rent Before Buying!
Review: I bought this video without renting it first because I was sure it would be a hit based on how good the first one was. It was OK, but had I rented it first, I probably would have passed on buying it. It was just a little too much of the same, while the storyline wasn't nearly as good as the first in my opinion. Especially bothersome was the reappearance of the "shhhh" and "zip-it" gags. I almost wanted to fast-forward through these sequences since they were only "funny" the first time, and even then, they weren't that funny. Why they had to include them twice more in this film is beyond me. (unless of course they needed to pad the film so that it would last its 95 minute length)

Summary: Looked Like Poison IVY 2 On My Player
Review: My DVD copy was really Poison IVY 2 - Not at all what I expected! Newline should really take more care making sure the artwork / labels match the data on the disk.

Summary: Austin doesn't really put the "SEE" in sequel
Review: The second installment of Austin Powers was, as the rule goes, not as good as the original. The film played like a younger brother trying to be popular by coining all his older brother's jokes. There are plenty of times that that I found the film trying way too hard to be funny--almost to the point of being "Naked-Gun"esque. Myers, however, was of course great as he adds another character to his name in the credits. This movie wasn't a total loss, by any stretch though. The addition of Mini-Me and early plot twist involving Vanessa Kinsington were inspired. However, let's hope that Myers and Co. can get their script-writing mojo back if they decide to throw us a third bone, people.
