Rating: Summary: Mildly Amusing, Occasionally Clever, More Often Not Review: I liked the first of the Powers Trilogy, thought the second had some very funny bits but was disappointed by Goldmember. The opening scene was clever with all of the movie within a movie gags. I figured we were in for a real roller coaster ride. Yeah, unfortunately, the ride was mostly down hill. The movie is a loosely joined collection of skits about toilet humor, sexual innuendo and a few (very few) funny (very funny) sight gags. My friends at work, some 15 years my junior, all hated it. I give it 2 stars because there are some fun parts that are probably worth seeing. If you really like Mike Myers films, you will enjoy Goldmember. This DVD version has the Infinifilm feature and it's really a pretty cool add-in.
Rating: Summary: Yes on the hole...Preparation H does feel good Review: I am a big Austin Powers fan as well as probably a million or more other people. I have to say that this installment in the series was not the best. The plot was pretty non-existent and the movie jumped around alot from scene to scene. That's not to say that the movie was a complete disaster. The movie was actually still quite funny, especially the one-liners(i.e.-"Doctor Evil, I used to think you were crazy, but now I can see your nuts.....I thank you") All I have to say is Mini Me in the prison scene.....frickin hilarious! Goldmember was pretty disgusting with his toight pants on and his skin problems. Oh, save me from myself yes. hahaha Anyway, this movie still ended up being pretty funny despite some of it's shortcomings. Another thing is that Fat Bastard just isn't as funny this time around. Furthermore, what happened to Austin's camera? I missed that in the movie-"Make an interconnected series of tunnels like the Vietcong.........and I'm spent." This movie did miss a few of the elements that made the first two in the series so good, but all in all I still love this movie. I give it an A, just for its zanyness(is that a word?).
Rating: Summary: Believe the Bad Reviews, Unless You're 11 Review: Believe it! This movie doesn't deserve 1 star.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: If you've seen the first two movies of this series, which are just too good, then you've seen just about every joke in Goldmember. Just got a bit too tedious to listen to "Oh behave" without any really new angles of humor. Mini-Me defecting was random. There was no real chemistry between Austin and his latest babe. And yes, we're tired of the time travel business. If you really have nothing to do and want to watch a movie, just rewatch the first two in this series.
Rating: Summary: The best Austin Powers title yet! Review: Well, when this came to theaters, I just had to see it. I could not wait until it came to DVD. This had been the first movie I had seen at my local theater since July of 2000. It has been that because there was either nothing good on that I wanted to see, or I just wasn't hyped on any others like I had been with some others. Now, I do think that Dr. Evil and Mini-Me didn't have to wear those blue contacts, cause it kind of made them look ugly. Anyways, in this AP film, they poke fun at mostly everything since the last one, including Jared who lost all that weight, while being on the Subway diet. I won't ruin it for you, but if you are a fan of AP, then you need to buy this. Now, I'm not sure if I like the Infinifilm DVD's, but they're ok. Final Verdict: Buy.
Rating: Summary: No better than Preparations A - G. Review: Don't get me wrong; I like a good fart joke as much as the next person. But the there are 2 problems with Goldmember. The first is obvious--its not funny. The second is how many things are just disgusting..like picking your own skin and eating it. Now that's a kneeslapper!!
Rating: Summary: Terrible - Don't buy - Do Rent! Review: I rented this movie, before I would buy it, and boy, I am sure glad I did. This movie was terrible. This movie sucked.Even though there was a surprise ending, the rest of the movie just was no where near the calibre of the first two. In conclusion, don't buy this. Rent it. Pay the 4 bucks to rent it, instead of the 20 bucks to buy it. You'll appreciate it.
Rating: Summary: Great Opening Sequence, but Falls Flat Review: Yes, the title sequence at the beginning of "Goldmember" is al all star classic, with cameos by Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Steven Speilberg, Danny DiVito and many others offering a laugh-out-loud 10 minutes. But after that, "Goldmember" is a hodge-podge of uninspired and been-there-done-that dialogue from the great Mike Meyers. I'd really hoped for a more lively episode, along the lines of the first two movies, and was clearly disappointed. Beyonce Knowles - GORGEOUS HERE - is solid as Foxy Cleopatra, but the rest of the cast seems like they are just going through the motions. Even Meyers himself seems to be channeling SNL characters rather than focusing on making this funny. Let's hope the next Austin Powers movie finds him back in real fine shape, bay-bee.
Rating: Summary: La Creme de la creme baby! Review: I read some of the other reviews and I have to say, I think most die-hard fans will concur, this is the best of all the austin movies to date! I think Mike Myers is a god! My cheeks hurt from laughing so much. ;-) the movie does use some of the same spoofs as the last (and spoofs on that as well) but it is a sequel after all.. Still, there are some great moments and the story is finally coming together, or should I say, Togezzer. wonder how the dutch received this film??
Rating: Summary: For Austin Lovers only Review: Maybe this movie is an appropriate ending to the triology. The best part of the movie was the first five minutes.
