Summary: Goldmember
Review: This was just as good as the other two. There are some thrills in the movie. Like making a movie about Austin's life. I like the part where it shows Danny DeVito playing Mini-Me. This was a hysterical movie!

Summary: "Scotty Don't!!!...."
Review: Once again, we are taken on another adventure with the hygiene challeneged super spy Austin Powers. Does Austin still have his mojo?. You bet. Is it still as potent?. Not as much. Mike Myers is back bringing his characters to the big screen. The plot, as expected, is second or third to the comedic chaos and characters that are all over this movie. Dr. Evil is back with another masterful plan to destroy the world. This time, it involves a new arch nemesis. A dutch, disco loving, dry skin peeling(and eating),rollerskating loony named Goldmember. Why is he named Goldmember?. I'm sure you can all guess why. This new character is rather odd and creepy. He is easily Myers' weakest creation so far. He doesn't hit the funny bone the right way like all of the others. A big hype for the character, but a total let down. It could of been better. Dr. Evil is still the best of the bunch. He gets the best parts. No matter what, Dr. Evil always comes thru. Fat Bastard pops up in very funny moments. He is used more sparingly here, and that might be a good thing. Myers is a tremendously talented performer. Just like Eddie Murphy in the "Nutty Professor" movies, he really brings his characters to life with their own character and individuality and tone. He is great. Michael Caine is also on hand here as Austin's father, Nigel Powers. Caine is good(Of course), but he felt like he was a bit underused. You'd think they'd give a legendary, Oscar winning star something juicier. There was so much potential there for something more, but they didn't use it. Then there is Beyonce Knowles. I adore her. She is sweet and beautiful. Is she an actress?. She could be, but this isn't the role that would show it. She is spicy and sexy as Foxy Cleopatra, and that is pretty much all you need to be in a role like this. She fits it well. She is alluring and charismatic, but only time will tell if she actually has the acting chops. The regulars all return here too. Seth Green as Scott, Robert Wagner as Number 2, Verne Troyer as Mini-Me, Mindy Sterling as Frau, and Michael York as Basil Exposition. Former "Wonder Years" star Fred Savage has a role too. There are a number of cameos here. We are talking BIG star cameos. All of the cameos are great and used to the fullest potential. Myers knows they need to be quick and funny, and quick and funny they are. I also know that a lot of people will probably cheer when Britney Spears(spoiler)blows up. Oops. Should I of let that slip?. There is no doubt that this movie goes into juvenile, frat house humor that includes human excrement and the like, but that isn't always a bad thing. Potty humor can be real bad, but this is funny potty humor. It's not all like that tho. When the movie and it's jokes and sight gags are hitting on all cylinders, it's great and hysterical. When it fizzles, it is slightly uncomfortable, but it moves right along into something good and all is forgotten. Austin Powers is still one of the best comedic creations to come out of Hollywood in a long time. This isn't rocket science. These movies have their pattern and you know what to expect when you go in. If you hate it, don't go and then bash it. Is this the best Austin Powrs movie as has been stated?. No. It fits just fine with the previous two, but I still prefer those before this one. Austin has become pretty routine because we know his schtick. That lessens the effect a bit, but it doesn't hurt the fun times this movie brings. Not one bit. Yeah baby!!.

Summary: What a weird twist at the end!!!
Review: Before I start to review "Austin Powers in Goldmember", let's remember what the first two are like. Okay, the first one is... well, it's the original! You just can't compare to that. Very funny... 5 stars.The second one wasn't as good AT ALL. It had Fat Bastard, who (I'm sorry) I just don't find very funny. He's more disgusting than anything. Also, it had Heather Graham who was terrible. Mike Myers was funny as usual as Dr. Evil and Austin Powers. And then there were 3! "Austin Powers in Goldmember" was released and it was FUNNY! It was different from the other two, maybe it's because more was going on. Also, it showed Dr. Evil alot more which is a good thing. Beyon'ce was better than I thought she would be and alot of the grossness from the previous movie was gone. There were alot of hilarious scenes, such as the beginning with Tom Cruise and Gwenyth Paltrow and the Dr. Evil rap while he's in jail. Seth Green (Scott Evil) wasn't in the movie as much as I'd hoped, but oh well. And also, there's a really weird, messed up twist at the end of the movie! I can't say what it is.... but it's cool! I can't figure out if I like "International man of mystery" or this one more! So, go see this right away!

Summary: Only one word can describe this movie: HILARIOUS!!
Review: Wasn't too much of a fan of the first movie, but nonetheless i laughed alot during it. The sequel, however, knocked me out because it was so much better than the original. So, when i first heard that they were going to make a third movie, i was ready. However, when i saw the first trailer with the mini-me of Austin dancing in the street, i was disappointed. I was hopping that what i was saw in that trailer was NOTHING like what was going to be in the movie. Then, i began seeing the tv trailers and began to think that it was going to be decent. When i finally walked out of the crowded theater that friday night that it opened, i couldn't stop laughing. Of course, the big scene in the movie is the first 5 minutes. I won't say anything, but just make sure you get there to see it. It's hilarious. After that, it's still a non-stop laugh riot until the end credits, which also contain extra scenes, so stick around for those. Dr. Evil steals the movie, in my opinion. He stole the show in the second movie and did so again in the third. He's the best part of the movie. The only reason i'm giving this movie four stars instead of five is because of three things: Beyonce Knowles, the character of "Goldmember" and the ending. I'm not going to ruin the ending, but when you see it, i think you'll be disapointed. It makes you wonder what a FOURTH movie would be like if all the characters stayed they way they are at the end. Beyonce is just too over the top and never likeable. Sure, she's hot and she can sing, but just because she did some MTV made-for-tv movie doesn't mean she will work out in a big-budget Hollywood movie. Also, the title character is plain dumb and sometimes disgusting. He has a habit of eating the dead skin that falls off of him. The only thing that saves that joke is how Dr. Evil reacts to it. Watch out for cameos by some famous people: Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, Gwenyth Paltrow, Katie Couric and even Fred Savage, who had more of an extended-cameo.

Summary: "No, baby, NO!"
Review: Mike Myers can't seem to restrain himself at this point. The first Austin Powers was a funny send-up of the 1960's espionage subgenre, and also turned into a surprise hit at the box office; the second film retained some of that parody, but showed a dive into blue humor and seemingly endless song-and-dance numbers...once again, the movie does well at the box office. And now we have "Goldmember," a comedy that actually pulls off the impossible by being the first PG-13 rated movie to outdo the likes of "There's Something About Mary" and "South Park" as far as gross-out humor is concerned. For this film, Myers' mind seems to be swimming in the toilet of demographics and profits, and even though I laughed a lot, I can't help but imagine how simple it must be to take that route, and write as many bodily-function jokes into a 90-minute script as possible. That's certainly what sells in this country, but whatever happened to subtlety? I think Myers' key problem is his cliched characters. While the vile Fat Bastard and Goldmember have some randomly funny moments, they wear out their welcome quickly because they're so obnoxious and insist on upstaging everyone else on-screen (another unsubtle sign of Myers' own self-indulgence?). On the other end of the spectrum, Michael Caine seems to be playing himself with a snaggle tooth, and doesn't add much to the film. There are some funny moments that don't revolve around wet farts, though: the send-up of "The Silence of the Lambs" (w/Dr. Evil as Hannibal Lechter) had me laughing, as did the development of Mini-Me's character; the flashback to Austin and Dr. Evil as school students was well-done, as was the prison-yard dance number of "Hard Knock Life." Unfortunately, Seth Green, who's probably the funniest aspect of all these films, is given little screen time, but might redeem "Austin Powers 4" if he takes over the family business (*wink wink*). But "Goldmember," for the most part, isn't even inspired idiocy in the vein of, say, "Dumb and Dumber." It's just a constant barrage of low-intellect, childish humor that actually manages to be more offensive and crude than most R-rated movies. ...

Summary: Great Movie With So Many Laughs
Review: Austin Powers In Goldmember is easily the most consistantly funny movie in the series. While, at first i was scared that Beyonce Knowles wouldn't give justice to the Powers girl, I was surprised to see that she can act pretty well, although there parts of the movie in which it seemed like she was overacting a bit. Once again, Myers is great with all the characters that he plays, giving each one their own personality. In this movie, he added another character to his list, which is Goldmember, who I think had no real meaning in the movie, and grew tired of the few jokes that he had (i.e.: peeling skin, legs behind his head). In Austin Powers In Goldmember, the plot revolves around the kidnapping of Austin's Father (Michael Caine) by Goldmember and Dr. Evil and being hid in 1975. But, who cares about the plot!? This movie has the most clever opening sequence I have EVER witnessed. THe cameos are simply irresistable, and you might want to see the movie again just to view the the guest cameos again (there is Katie Couric as a prison guard and another big cameo at the very end). While the jokes might be recycled from the past movie, they just made fun of themselves with a cameo by America's new favorite family. Personally, I thought that this sequel did a much better job of recycling jokes than Men In Black 2, because the used them in different ways and had new ones, while Men In Black 2 was pretty much the same movie as the first, even though it was still funny. Plus, I really liked the flashback scenes of when Austin and Dr. Evil were in college and when they were babies, it just made me want to cry. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone that liked the first two movies. I loved this movie because it just kept adding to the fun that I had at the second movie, and I was surprised that it was that good. I can't wait until this comes out around the holidays with the R-Rated cut and the deleted scenes that made test audiences sick and that featured cameos from Elizabeth Hurley and Heather Graham. Long live the Austin Powers series!

Summary: Some funny parts but the rest will entertain a 12 year old
Review: I loved the opening. Very funny and quite clever and surprising. The movie was not bad as far as the plot goes. As for the rest of the movie, if you love sophomoric jokes using farts and burps and an obsession with male and female genatalia then you will be not be let down. This movie could be so much better if not for the obsession with juvenile jokes that are beaten to death over and over. I recommend to wait until video.

Summary: The joke is still pretty dang funny
Review: It's been three years since Austin Powers (Mike Myers), that shagadelic super spy has appeared on the big screen. When Dr. Evil (also Myers) and his accomplice Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) escape from a high-security prison, Austin is called back into action once again to save the world from Dr. Evil's menacing plans. Teaming up with the peculiar Goldmember (also also Myers), Dr. Evil plans to kidnap Austin's father, Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) and hold him hostage in 1975. Austin, along with Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles), chase the villains through time to rescue Nigel Powers and save the world. The film loses a lot of touch from the first one and almost relies on most of the jokes from The Spy Who Shagged Me. Still, Mike Myers and Jay Roach deliver an only tiny disappointing sequel. Some jokes are cleverly funny and some are simply rehashed. However, the film does host a lot of laughs, but also have some long stretches that don't seem to be funny at all. Also, expect a lot of cameos to appear in the film. I won't spoil anything for you, however it was kind of funny. But the most disappointed element of the movie is the ending. I won't tell you what it is, but with the ending to Goldmember, it would be impossible to make a fourth film. This seems to be the last of the Austin Powers series. Austin Powers in Goldmember is a notch down or two from the second and a large step from the first, but as I said before, the joke is still pretty dang funny. I definitely recommend this film.
