Summary: Terrible writing
Review: I thought that this movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It ranks right down there with Natural Born Killers and From Dusk Till Dawn. The writing was terrible, Austin's teeth make me want to vomit and the 'hip' lingo pissed me off.

Summary: "Alow myself to introduce... myself;"
Review: If you love spoofs, you have gotta buy this movie. Mike Myers lends his talents to take a double role, playing both Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and the diabolical Dr Evil (Winner of MTV's Villian of the Year award). I garentee this shagadelic movie will have you doubling over with laughter.

Summary: It's Shagadelic!
Review: In the movie, Austin Powers-International Man of Mystery, Mike Myers plays a "frozen science experiment" in the 60's. Myers plays all of the main characters in the play, including Austin Powers and "Dr. Evil." Austin Powers wakes to find himself in an entirely different world from the one he is used to. When Dr. Evil, an old nemesis of Powers, plans to take over the world(for, at first only $100,000), Austin Powers and his new-found love, attempt to ruin his plans for world domination. If you have a twisted mind, and a sick sense of humor, this film is definitely one not to miss.

Summary: Austin Powers - International Man of Laughs !
Review: The movie Austin Powers International Man Of Mystery is a great movie. It blends 60's spy flicks with the 90's style of movies. It has a very off-the-wall kind of fun and it can be watched by most of the family. I love this movie. All of my friends have seen it at least five times. I lost count after six. My friends and I can't wait to see the new movie with Mike Meyers as Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Summary: cult movie
Review: Like "Animal House", "The Blues Brothers", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", this is a cult movie. It is plot-less, is a parody, and has great lines. And those who find the ex-based humor insulting are just taking themselves too seriously.

Summary: Groovy Movie, Baby!
Review: Austin powers (Mike Myers), a flamboyant British secret agent who flaunts his groovy presence wherever he goes, follows the nefarious Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers) to a Swinging London nightclub in 1967. Evil escapes with his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, so Powers freezes himself to continue his pursuit of him in the future (1997). Societal sensibilities and geopolitics have changed slightly when they match "wits" again. Powers' swingin' lifestyle and casual sexism are now frowned upon, especially by his smart and sexy assistant Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley - What were you thinking, Hugh?). Nevertheless, Powers persists and pursues Dr. Evil with flair, ultimately confronting him at his desert lair.Although not all the gags succeed (some deliberately), "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" will entertain those who have not seen a decent film parody since the Naked Gun movies. Something that easily could have teetered on becoming a one-joke groanfest actually has many layers and textures beyond the obvious sight gags. It's easy to laugh at the protagonist's anachronistic "hipness," Edwardian velvet outfit, bad teeth, and horn-rimmed spectacles (which he never removes). However, Dr. Evil also has his own "moments" (perhaps even more than Powers himself). Evil's plans to extort one million dollars and his pursuit of world domination are not nearly as lucrative as the legitimate investments made by his main lieutenant (Robert Wagner). To make things worse, Evil has difficulty finding acceptance, or even a badly-needed hug, from his test tube son Scott Evil (Seth Green). The antics and neuroses of the principal characters aren't the only source of laughs. The film is also a Postmodern catalog of 1960s popular culture references. Most prominent are nods to the fun Sean Connery James Bond movies, especially "Goldfinger" ("Random Tasks" and "Alotta Fagina," indeed!), "You Only Live Twice" (notice Dr. Evil's makeup), and "Diamonds Are Forever" (technically early 1970s, but close enough); the "Laugh-In" style entr'actes; the war room in "Dr. Strangelove;" and even such arcane silliness as the short-lived "Dr. Goldfoot" movie series. There are also the improbable plot twists, with plausibility bent to tell a story. Why does Austin Powers freeze himself, when someone could have just gone up and captured Evil's escape pod? (They did have thirty years to do it.) Furthermore, to paraphrase Scott, why doesn't Dr. Evil just kill Powers, rather than toy with him? Perhaps Evil "pere" is more creative, whereas Evil "fils" belongs to a generation that wants things (for better or worse) more straightforward, and perhaps less fun. "Austin Powers" is one of the best-conceived comedies of recent years, moving on the strength of its clever central plot concept. The eclectic soundtrack appears in proper spots, like in Stanley Kubrick's movies, combining old and new hits (note the high-camp sequence introducing the "femme-bots," accompanied by "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"), mock-malevolent James Bondish orchestral music, and (of course) Burt Bacharach, baby! And it's just the right length, so no Swedish pumps of any kind are required.
