Summary: Goldmember [is terrible!]
Review: Because I enjoyed the first two Austin Powers movies so much, I ignored all the bad flack "Goldmember" was getting and charged ahead to the theater to see it anyway. Man, what a letdown! The whole movie was a sad, bad parody of the first two. There's even a "joke" near the end where Ozzie Osbourne complains that they're doing the same stuff they did in the first two. I made Ozzie's observation less than half an hour into the movie, but I wasn't laughing at either that realization or the lame jokes.I don't care what's on the DVD, it's not gonna be worth the [money] New Line is asking for unless the special features include the missing plot and the [money] I paid to see this [garbage]. I believe this overpricing of the DVD is New Line's attempt to artificially attach worthiness to this travesty. ("It's not worthy! It's not worthy!") The truly funny moments are too rare to be worth the asking price. I still love Mike Myers, but I'm afraid you won't laugh WITH him, only AT him, if you laugh at all...

Summary: More laughs than a botched abortion!
Review: If only there were a special olympics for the motion picture industry, where everyone is a winner regardless of effort or achievement. "Goldmember" is Mike Myers' debut enthusiastic love letter to the cerebrally challenged. That the script offers few surprises and even fewer guffaws is testament to Myers' apparent conviction that he will be the next Woody Allen or Steve Martin, who have both dared to venture beyond the four corners of slapstick. Here, Myers and his personae non gratae are but insulting incarnations of Jerry Lewis and Howie Mandel. Suffice to say that the funniest scene involved an exploding rubber chicken.

Summary: Not really that Gold-en
Review: The latest installment of Austin Powers is more of a episodic event of sight-gags and one liners than a coherent film. Pushed unceremoniously into the background are Frau Farbissima and No.2, and not even a glimpse of Will Ferrell as Mustafa...alas! The real title Should have been Austin Powers and Mini-Me, since so much was spent on Verne Troyer, which wasn't bad, but at the expense of the other characters. The newest nemesis here is Goldmember, who really didn't amount to much in the film. Not nearly as good as the first two Powers films, it was still a non-stop run of hilarity, from the shadow sequence, the water fountain profiles and Japanese subtitles to Scott finally getting "Evil". Look for plenty of laughs, but not for characters or a decent plot.

Summary: Goldmember gets the Silver
Review: Mike Myers is at it again. In the third "Austin Powers" movie, "Goldmember", he plays FOUR characters-Austin Powers, Dr.Evil, Fat Bastard, and Goldmember. He plays each to perfection, especially Dr. Evil. "Goldmember" is better than "The Spy who Shagged Me", but not quite as good as "International Man of Mystery" (hence the title of the review). In this movie, Austin finds that his father, Nigel (played by Michael Caine), has been kidnapped. To save him, he travels back in time and reunites with his old flame, Foxxy Cleopatra (Beonce Knowles). The two travel back to the present day after they fail to save him in 1979. The chase eventually leads to Dr. Evil's lair, which is a submarine in his likeness, and there a secret is revealed to Austin that will change the course of his life, and probably mean the end of the series.
Overall, the movie is great. Some of the jokes fall flat, but a lot of the humor is the best yet. This is without a doubt the funniest of the three in regards to Dr. Evil. Mini Me, for a time, defects to the M.O.D. and becomes Mini Austin, and that ends up being very funny, especially the scene where Austin finds him but doesn't know that he has defected.
In short, if you liked the other two you will be impressed. If you are reading this, you must show some interest in the movies, so see it. If you already have, good for you! I hope you liked it. Thanks for reading my review, I hope it helped you!

Summary: Austin Power in GoldMember Is aTotal Thumbs Up
Review: I totally enjoyed Mike Myer's best movie yet, GoldMember. If you like comedy , fun, and total madness this is the movie for you. If you watched mike myers carrer get bigger and bigger throughout his life you will definitly find out after watching this movie that he truly is funny,From snl to the big screen.Altough his crude humor and hilarious remakrs and sayings about the jewish religon are present ( dont see it if you are REALLY strong about your jewish religon or any religon at that case) he makes his remarks funny and non offending. He also makes remarks about sumo wrestlers and japenese people.He also plays Dr. Evil,Austin powers, Fat Bastard, and goldmember. Beyonce Knowles from destiny's child is also in this fun filled movie. Vernon Troyer is a little man with a HUGE personality ( minnie me)!!! Mike Myers is VERY funny and If you don't like Austin Powers 3- Goldmember , you have ABSOLUTLEY no funnybone or humor AT ALL!!!!!

Summary: Rolling in the Aisles!
Review: When I first saw this movie, I was in a constant state of laughter. All I know is I came out of that theater smiling like a moron because it was so funny. This could just be me, but I say this movie is the best in the (all very funny) Austin Powers series. True, the charactor Goldmemeber wasnt the MOST creative charactor in the history of Austin Powers, but it wasn't him that provided all the laughs. I say see it, theres really nothing to lose, except maybe a few pounds from laughing so hard.

Summary: Lost it's groove
Review: This looks to be one of the first in a long line of sequels that are scheduled for this year and the next, with 'Charlie's Angels 2', 'The Matrix Reloaded', 'Sky Kids 2' et al all finding their way into the cinemas soon. Although inevitably some of these will be hugely anticipated and doubtless very good, there are always a few that will make its audience cringe. This is one such movie. The third in the 'Austin Powers' trilogy finds Austin (Myers) teaming up with Foxy Cleopatra (Beyoncé) and father Nigel Powers (Caine) to defeat not only Dr. Evil but also Goldmember, both of whom wish to flood the world. But to be fair it's not really the plot that's the problem, it's the fact that the same gags that were used in the first two films are here tired and devoid of any life. In taking on four roles, it's a little bit of overkill for Myers, who should have stuck to playing Austin and Dr. Evil rather than taking on any other roles. Whilst there was admittedly some fun to be had from the first movie, especially for those well acquainted with the James Bond franchise, the constant sexual innuendoes that are thrown out one after the other are increasingly dull. Very few of the jokes stick, although there is a great line from Caine when he asks one unfortunate man 'Do you know how many anonymous henchmen I've knocked out over the years'? You'd think that with such a fantastic supporting cast - Michael Caine, Seth Green, Vern Troyer and Beyoncé are all brilliant - that there'd be something noteworthy in this movie, but it's actually incredibly boring. True, it starts well with a host of cameo appearances - including Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Britney Spears - that are very funny indeed, but it quickly goes downhill from there. There's a fine line between affectionate parody and a desperate attempt at pandering to the audience's affection, and 'Austin Powers' has crossed it.

Summary: The best movie ever!
Review: Austin Powers in Goldmember was by far the funniest movie I have ever seen! If you liked the first 2 you will love this one. This Austin Powers movie is the best out of the 3. There is no down time between funny parts in the movie. It has a awesome cast with many, many famous people in it , which makes it even more funny. I just hope Mike Myers can pull it off another time.

Summary: Austin Powers in Goldmember-A Movie Worth Seeing, Baby
Review: WOW! Austin Powers does it again, and I must say it was awesome and quite hilarious! Goldmember will make you laugh like crazy, with it's funny jokes, new characters and interesting plot. Mike Myers is a very talented man, he is funny as hell and is capable of playing many characters, in this film he plays 4 charcters: Goldmember, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil and of course the one and only and by only I do mean only Fat Bastard-Get In My Belly. Beyonce Knowles, God is she gorgeous and dead pretty, plays Foxy Cleopatra, and does she shimmer, but acting may not be a profession which she should seek. I would say singing is good enough for her, but it was worth seeing her in this film. Michael Caine, ah yes the very talented Michael Caine, God I wonder why he made this movie, was it for money most likely. But it was fun to see how Caine turned out in this movie, funny actually. And of course the lovable or likable Verne Troyer who plays Mini-Me, a short but talented actor and that's enough commenting on him. But he worked well, and was actually rather funny. Mike Myers creator and writer of all three films has really been successful, but will there be a fourth Austin Powers? We don't know quite yet, but I would surely like to know. Taking in a amazing 71.5 miillion in its opening weekend: July 26-28. But I do believe that's a record-braker for a comedy. So, I would suggest seeing Goldmember, it's funny and just plain good. Though it does have the occasional naughty material making it a bit to lewd for preteens.
It is rated PG-13 for Sexual Innuendo, Language and Crude Humor.
But I loved it! See Austin Powers in Goldmember! In theaters everywhere July 26, 2002.

Summary: LOL!!! That's what you'll be doing if you see this movie!!
Review: I thought this was even funnier than the first one, which was funnier than the second. I was laughing the hardest in the theater. I really don't know what to say except that it is the most halarious movie ever made and that I wouldn't reccomend it to children under the age of 11. (Especially with characters like Fat ..., Fook Mi, and Fook Yu.)
