Summary: Not too Groovy Baby
Review: The original Austin Powers was very funny, the second Austin Powers was hilarious, but this one is a big come down. It's a simple case of going to the same well once to ofen. Though it has a few funny scenes, most of the movie is marred by boredom and a severe case of been there, done that. There isn't much chemistry between Beyonce Knowles and Myers and the new character, Goldmember, is as unfunny as they come.

Summary: Absolute Failure
Review: Granted, there were some funny parts to this movie, it pales in comparison to the second. "The Spy Who Shagged Me" was absolutely current and up to date with pop culture, which is the main basis of the Austin Power's franchise. However, the third is trite and old and GoldMember is just plain disgusting. Knowels was suprisingly good and the DVD was great with loads of extras.

Summary: Okay...it's time to stop now.
Review: While the Austin Powers began as something original, inventive and ingenious, its become nothing more than 90 minute excuse for annoying celebrity cameos and out-of-control product placement. Austin Powers: Goldmember reminds me of one of those race cars covered in dozens of corporate stickers and driven by some has-been celebrity. Its mere existence is designed simply to hold your attention long enough to look at the many products stamped all over it.
Goldmember, while mildly amusing, is a classic example of a movie featuring characters in search of a story. What story there is makes no sense and has more holes than a spaghetti strainer. Why? Because the film is motivated not by the need to tell a story, but by the need to create scenes for celebrity cameos and product placement. The never-creative corporate suits have taken over the Austin Powers movies, and the need for product placement has outweighed the need to tell a story. I love Mike Myers and his work but it's time to put this series to rest.

Summary: Who Knew Sequels Could Be This Good?
Review: I've seen the other two Austin Powers movies, and though I thought they were fine fun, I have to say I got the most enjoyment out of Goldmember, Austin's third installment of the 007 spoofs. Sure, the title character Goldmember (of course, played by Mike Myers) is not that entertaining, and I was not all that impressed by Beyonce Knowles' movie debut, but there are so many other things to enjoy about this movie, including, of course, Mini-Me, who really takes an emotional beating in this one; and many surprise cameos from famous celebs (the opening sequence was just great, but the Osbourne cameo later on just made me want to scream). This is slap-stick comedy at its best. Sure, it uses some of the same jokes, and sure it has some potty humor to appeal to the younger crowd, but it's all great fun. I didn't think it was possible, but this is a film franchise that doesn't seem to get worse with each movie - in fact, I think this is the best one out of the lot. I went to see this film two times at the theater, and at 8 bucks a ticket, I don't do that too often these days. And I laughed just as hard the second time I saw it. If you like Austin Powers at all, you've got to own Goldmember. It's groovy, baby.

Summary: Austin's starting to lose his mojo
Review: The third and apparently the last in the AUSTIN POWERS franchise (but when have Hollywood execs ever been able to make their ... minds up?). GOLDMEMBER is a rather patchy installment with the threadbare plot having Austin trying to find his father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) who abandoned him as a child and catching the 70s rollerskating villain Goldmember, also played by Myers. This sequence is shown in a not terribly funny flashback. GOLDMEMBER's opening credits on the other hand are absolutely hilarious, but in this case the movie seems to be centered on gross outs than cleverness. Beyonce Knowles is okay as Austin's blaxploitation sidekick Foxxxy Cleopatra, and of course Myers as Fat Bastard makes sure there is more literal toilet humor to make viewers laugh and blow chunks through their living rooms. There are numerous cameo appearances, including Fred Savage as informant The Mole who has a freakishly big mole on his face. Clever. The movie's ending is a real copout too. But the most amazing thing about this movie is that one of my neighbours is practically a dead ringer for Goldmemeber. And he's from Holland too! Seriously, isn't that vierd?

Summary: Funniest Austin Powers movie yet.
Review: I've seen all of the Austin Powers movies, and this one I think is the funniest so far. I laughed through the entire movie. The hidden meanings and sexual innuendos are by far the funniest. This movie will have you laughing so hard your stomach will hurt.

Summary: Pretty good show!
Review: Ok, this one is better then the first Ausin (Man Of Mystery) but not quite as good as Austin 2 (Shagged Me). Still pretty funny though! If you like Austin buy it, if not... at LEAST rent it, it's definatly worth watching! They left it open for another, I hope it gets filmed! The trailer had some scenes that weren't in the movie, weird!!

Summary: The Best!
Review: Goldmember is the best film of the Austin Powers franchise. One of the highest grossing comedies of all time, making $77 million in its first weekend! You'll see Britney Spears, Tom Cruise and many more. The Austin Powers franchise is one that will not die out anytime soon. I recommend you buy this and make a collection of the Austin Powers movies. Very entertaining and exciting to watch.

Summary: The funniest of all the Austin Powers!
Review: This movie is #2 on the movies I laughed at the most, the first is "Jackass the Movie" which was so so funny! This movie was really really funny. The jokes were kind of raunchy and pushed too far, but they left me in stitches! Check out this really really funny movie that is just too good, that I can't review it! Just check it out and see for your itself. But I warn you, jokes are used so much in this movie, that it gets funny, then they use it until its buried in the ground!
