Summary: Best of the three
Review: I found this movie to be the best of the three austin power movies. Almost non stop laughing. This is just one of those movies you can't wait till christmas to get!Some of the best characters are back, such as fat bastard, all of Dr. Evil's henchmen, Mini-Me, And of course the movie follows the previous two in the "sequence". What i mean by this is that there is a "shape" on the radar and everyone starts calling it diffrent names. This is where the Osbournes make a appearance. And of course some of the topics and planes that Dr. Evil comes up with are totally ironic and funny. Mike Myers did an awsome job, and im quite sure you will enjoy this movie. ~hope this helps

Summary: The script was not toight enough
Review: I awaited "Austin Powers: Goldmember" with anxious anticipation. I think the first film in the series was possibly the funniest film I ever saw, with only "Blazing Saddles" surpassing it for making me scream with laughter. The second serving "Austin Powers:The Spy who Shagged Me" was not quite as good, but had its moments (Fat Bastard, Rob Lowe as the young Number Two and revisiting favorite gags from Film Number One.) When "Goldmember" begins, the opening credits are such a surprise and so good that you sit back and think "Wow, this is going to be GREAT" Sadly, "Austin Powers: Goldmember" lacked the script and direction to follow through. The film sagged more than Fat Bastard's behind. The writers did give Mini-Me a lot of stuff to do-funny sight gags and costumes. He was far better than in Austin II. Beyonce Knowles lit up the screen with her spectacular looks, delivery and acting. Too bad she had nothing more to do than point a gun now and then, strike a pose and say "You're under arrest, Sugah" And Michael Caine as Austin's father stood around looking like a stage prop. I guess the writers were concentrating on giving Mike Myers too MUCH to do. Fat Bastard was predictable -oh, a Sumo wrestler. I didn't see THAT coming. Austin looked puffy and bored. Dr. Evil looked totally lost and the worst Myers role was Goldmember, the new villain. Ridiculing the Dutch is a popular pastime for half of Europe, but the best the script writers could come up with was repeating the word "toight" for "tight" and mentioning pancakes a lot of times. There was plenty of potentially hilarious material, but the script was so poor that it tanked this film. If you are an Austin Powers fan, it's worth seeing, but don't expect much gold from this member of the film series. The video extras include a Britney Spears music video (why?) and one from Beyonce Knowles, but that's about it.

Summary: Best of the Austin Powers Trilogy
Review: Between the storyline and the hip-hop video by Dr. Evil, I loved this movie and couldn't wait to own it! It steals ideas from the good Bond movies (anything before Die Another Day and excluding Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again). I especially enjoyed reliving Bond running across crocodiles as Powers runs across several Japanese Sumo wrestlers in a bath. If you enjoy comedy and Bond movies, this is a must own. After watching this one several times, do yourself a favor and order the first two Austin Powers movies ...

Summary: Mindless comedy done BRILLIANTLY!
Review: I absolutely loved this movie. While some of the movie is rehashed jibberish from the previous two episodes, it is still appropriate and very funny rehashed jibberish. Now saying that, there is also a few neat twists in this movie that I didn't expect. You, too, won't see it coming.
I was impressed with the deleted scenes. They were in very good digital quality as though they could just be slipped right in with the movie and you wouldn't notice the difference in picture quality. I've noticed many DVD movies have crummy picture quality when viewing the deleted scenes. A big bummer, but understandable. But not here, the deleted scenes look fantastic and I appreciate that. Also, I thought that the deleted scenes should have been kept in the movie. They were funny and relatively short. There must have been a good reason to pull them, I just don't see why.
They put some nice touches on several special effects scenes, too. I love special effects and am impressed with what they've done here.
Austin Powers: In GOLDMEMBER is clever, in fact, it's done so cleverly that it really does seem like stupid and senseless intertainment. But that's Austin Powers for ya. I'm impressed and grossed out all at the same time. It's a fun escape for awhile and I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too.

Summary: Goldmember has to be the best of the bunch.......
Review: The first two Austin Powers movies were good but, I've got to admit, I've never laughed quite as hard as I did with Goldmember. This movie was absolutely hysterical. Michael Myers really outdid himself in this one. There were moments when I just couldn't stop laughing. It got to the point where everyone around me was telling me to hush so they could hear what was going on but I couldn't help it.
I haven't seen a movie that has made me laugh that much since the first Ace Ventura. You definitely need to get this one.
Well...what are you waiting for??? GO!

Summary: Austin Powers still has it (for the most part)
Review: This is the third installment in the Austin Powers series, and the first two were absolutely hilarious. This one doesn't quite live up to its predecessors, but it's good nonetheless. This movie finds Austin up against a new villian, Goldmember, and introduces several new characters, including Austin's father (a great performance by Michael Caine). For the most part, this film is very funny. If you like the crazy, unpredictable capers of the other two films you're bound to enjoy this one, too. There are even a couple of twists in the plot to keep it interesting. I really liked this movie, but there are two objections I had to it. First, I don't like the character of Foxxy Cleopatra. There just wasn't any chemistry there. Second, I think some of the jokes are getting a little bit old (like Dr. Evil asking for ransom money and telling Scott to shut up). Still, I think this movie is worthwhile, and would definitely recommend it.

Summary: what happened to the (bleeping) language?
Review: There is nothing quite like laying down $... for a new DVD that has already been put through the made-for-TV editing process. Every single instance of profanity was "bleeped" out. One instance of nudity was blatantly screened and obscured. Why not just leave that scene out? Anybody who is threatened by profanity and nudity in movies isn't going to watch this anyway. I feel insulted that the makers of this DVD don't believe we can handle those scenes and words. At least the movie was mildly entertaining.

Summary: Heaps of bathroom humor soil comedy
Review: "Goldmember", the third in the Austin Powers spy spoof series, is, like its predecessors, hit and miss. I thought there are more misses laugh-wise in this one, but that may be because the series' novelty has worn off. I suspect its makers know that. They've made the bathroom humor even more over the top. Of course, there is a big audience for such jokes, as the movie's huge boxoffice take demonstrates. For me, though, the jokes got stale about halfway though. Could it be that the writers were under orders not to go anywhere the average thirteen-year old could not follow? I did thoroughly enjoy the opening sequence, which is a movie within a movie. Powers [Mike Myers] is a technical assistant on the set of a film about his exploits. Lots of major, real life stars have cameos playing Powers, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me, etc. There is also a delightful spoof of the classic musical, "Singing in the Ran", as well as a hilarious run confrontation with Brittany Spears. None of this has anything to do with the plot, which concerns Dr. Evil's holding the world ransom by threatening to crash an asteroid into the planet. The opening demonstrates what a comedic genius Myers can be, and if the rest of the movie were half as good, it would be a gem. Perhaps Myers himself would have been happy to have delivered an R-rated movie, for "Goldmember" comes as close as it can to that rating without actually getting one. [It's PG-13.] In many scenes, you can almost see the censors' scissors. The dreaded 'R' would have theoretically eliminated much of the movie's core audience, but at least it would have been a more honest gross-out comedy. It also might have been a better movie.

Summary: Not As Good As The First Two
Review: The first Austin Powers movie was hilarious. The second movie basically recycled the same jokes, but I laughed anyway, probably because I was reminded at how good the first movie was. It was comedy by association. I'm sorry, but I can't give this third movie, Goldmember, the same sort of pity laugh. There were a few mild chuckles here and there, but it doesn't even come close to reaching the bar set by its two predecessors. I'd tell you about the plot of the movie, but I couldn't remember what it was even when I walked out of the theater. Beyonce Knowles did a solid acting job, but it was fairly easy to tell that she was acting in her first movie. Unlike Elizabeth Hurley and Heather Graham in the previous movies, Beyonce doesn't serve as Austin's love interest, so there isn't any of the playing hard-to-get that viewers found so funny in the first two. She's strictly business, which isn't very funny. There's also a new character added to this movie called Goldmember. He's a disco-dancing rollerskater who peels off and eats pieces of his own dry skin. Disgusting? Yes. Funny? No. And, of course, there's Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, Mini-Me, and all the rest of the usual supporting cast. They each have their funny moments, but not many. I know several screen writers, and they all say that every scene in a movie is supposed to mean something. In this case, every scene should either provide some sort of comedy or advance the plot of the story. There were several scenes in the movie that didn't do either of these. They were just there holding the movie and its audience in limbo. Everyone in Hollywood is under pressure to meet deadlines and cut costs, and it was very evident that this pressure played a major part in the making of this movie. I'm sure the movie studio knew that people were going to see this movie regardless of quality just because the previous movies were successful, so there was no incentive to make a good movie. I have to admit that I'm a big Austin Powers fan, and if they make a fourth movie I'll definitely go see it no matter how good or bad it is. Unfortunately, there are alot of other people just like me, and the movie studios know it.

Summary: Not as good as the first two
Review: This movie is just not as funny as the first two. In addition, somehow number 2 is back, even though he died in the first movie. Austin Powers's father has a hatred for Dutch people that the movie doesn't explain. There is an attempt to get as many actors in this movie as possible. I regret not seeing this movie in the theater because I would not have bought it.
