Summary: The Mojo is gone.
Review: Loved the first two movies, the third is a complete bust. I laughed twice, but Myers is laughing all the way to the bank. This is what happens when people get greedy, I think it's also called flogging a dead horse. Time to come up with a new character Mike, one with at least three jokes per movie!

Summary: Crazy

Summary: Can You Say (Recycle?)
Review: Recycle ..... Hmmmm Thats the word I would use to disscribe 90% of the gags and jokes in Goldmember. Speaking as a person who loved the first two Austin Powers I have to say this movie fell REALLY short of the mark. While the movie does have it`s moments it just was not as creative as the first two movies. When you make a movie with too many recycled jokes it does two things #1 It shows that the director is out of ideas and #2 it becomes a parody of the first two movies and it`s self. On another subject . What is the deal with this DVD ? No captions and you can`t fast foward or rewind you can only skip to begining or end of each chapter (that stinks) Well thats about it Glad to see Fred Savage got some work .

Summary: Takes a "Bronze" In The Series
Review: If you asked me to rank the Austin Powers movies from best to worst I would put the best as the 2nd movie (The Spy Who Shagged Me), the middle as the original movie, and the worst as this movie (Goldmember). The movie wasn't as funny as the previous movies in the hilarious series. Destiny's Child member Beyonce Knowles did a good job, but her little "Shazaam!" chatch phrase and adding "Sugar" to the end of almost every sentence was kinda annoying. The mole jokes were very funny, as was the "shadow" scene in the doctor's offfice. One joke that not a lot of people in the theaters I was in (I saw it twice in the theaters) got was the "Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto" joke. That was hilarious. They could've done a better job on the joke with the satellite that looked like a big pair of "...." because it was easily predictible that they would try to bring that up again. The DVD was pretty good. I'm kinda new to the infiniFILM concept. In fact, I had never heard of it before. I really enjoyed it! It was very cool. I reccomend "The Spy who Shagged Me" instead of this movie, but it's still a nice one to own. Enjoy!

Summary: Oh, and one more thing...
Review: (My previous review was titled "THIS DVD IS GARBAGE")You cannot use the "scan" function, either. So if you want to skim through a scene you have already seen, or rewind it a smidge, etc, you CAN'T. You can only skip forward or backword in chapter-sized blocks. I am so...irritated! Grrrrr!

Summary: THIS DVD IS GARBAGE
Review: Not the film, but the DVD itself. Whether or not you like Austin Powers is subjective, so I won't bore you with my personal opinions. However, I will tell you a story. I was watching it last night, and had to get up to do something. So I hit the "pause" button. THE PAUSE FUNCTION DID NOT WORK! So I thought, "that's wierd", and hit "stop" instead, so that the movie would just pick up where it left off when I got back. When I did, guess what... The movie, instead of picking up where I stopped it, actually SKIPPED BACKWORDS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAPTER, which I then had to watch all over again. In addition, there is, in my personal opinion, no excuse why the widescreen and full screen can't just be options on the same disk. I will NEVER buy anything from this product line again. When a modern-day DVD can't even perform basic functions like "pause" or "stop" like the cheapest of VCRs, something is terribly wrong.

Summary: He should've stopped while it was at least somewhat funny...
Review: I may have laughed twice during this movie: once during the Mini-me cameo scene in the beginning, and once at the Styx joke (with "Mr. Roboto"). Otherwise, this movie just didn't do its job. Realizing right away that the only way to remain smart and funny was to be self-effacing, Mike Myes takes the inane and nonsensical elements of the first two movies and stuffs the movie with them. The revelations and character development all becomes more and more ridiculous and downright stupid up to the closing scene. For instance, near the beginning, Dr. Evil's idioms when chastising Scott turn into garbled dialogue that doesn't even resemble real English. Instead of saying "Shh" or "Zip it", he now says something along the lines of "Rfmsfll". Yeah, very funny. And the film goes downhill from there, folks. Returning characters such as Fat Bastard and Mini-me have lost the originality that made them humorous. The new addition, the eponymous Goldmember, is simply not funny at all, and it is a bit difficult to figure out exactly what he's even doing in the movie at all: it may have been better without him.
The only possible redeeming part of this movie could have been Beyonce Knowles as Foxy Cleopatra. Unfortunately, though she was exceedingly likeable and capable in her role, she and Austin shared absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
Compared to this movie, Wayne's World 2 was brilliant. Do yourself a favor and watch the first Austin Powers movie again. Though you've seen it already, it will still be more original than this movie, and at least it will have some sort of plot.

Summary: Goldmember
Review: Austin Powers in Goldmember was pretty good for a movie and O.k. for the Austin Powers series. Don't get me twisted, I've heard that this will be the last Austin Powers and yes it does go out with a bang in that respect but as far as compared to the first 2, it lags behind a little. First off, this one has a lot of funny parts (eventhough it's nothing you haven't seen before from the Austin Powers series except for the Japanese subtitles) and there are some pretty entertaining scenes as well. Plus cameos by Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, Gwenyth Paltrow, Brittmey Spears, the Osbournes and even John Travolta. Along with returning characters Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me, Fat Bastard, Basil Expeditionm, Number 2, Scott Evil and Frau Farbissina and who could forget the new additions to the seris, Number 3 played by Fred Savage, Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles) and title character Goldmember (also played by Myers). All in all, so many names and so much going on, you are constantly glued when watching this one. And a new addition to the series, TWISTS and TURNS in the plot. Trust me, you'll see! But there are some down sides to this one as well. For starters like I said before, I've heard that this is the last of the Austin Powers series. That knowledge alone brings you down a little. The biggest and most disappointing thing about this one is title character Goldmember. He's not really all that funny. He says a few things here and there but the other things that he does are just disgusting. Even worse than the Fat Bastard/Felicity Shagwell after love scene in The Spy Who Shagged Me. Seriously, Goldmember (the character) is a total loss. Other than that, it's very worth it. For me personally, I had to rewind the Dr Evil/Mini-Me GA State Prison scene over and over because it's just so dang funny! If you already have the first 2 you might as well get the trilogy and complete the series and for those of you not into the Austin Powers series, you'll still get a kick out of this one. In any case, enjoy!

Summary: My Very First Review!
Review: This is my first review here on Amazon.com, and I felt SO strongly about this movie that I was inspired to write this brief review. In short, this movie was the lamest, dumbest, most idiotic waste of time I've had the displeasure of seeing in a long, LONG time. Am I glad I didn't actually BUY the not-so-silly thing.
