Summary: The Best Of All Three!
Review: I cannot understand those who did not find this movie funny! First of all, it had it's own charisma. Second of all, it's all in FUN! You should go into it to have fun... not to critisize. Third and finally, see it for what it is... it's AUSTIN POWERS! It's not an attempt at an Oscar! It's just trying to make people laugh. Simple.

Summary: OK, so its not the best film ever - but its a funny spoof
Review: This, the third Austin Powers movie, is just as good as the first two if not better. All the complaints that other reviewers have aired here could be equally applied to the first two films. So the plot is cliched and predictable - but thats part of the appeal, it makes it funny.This film IS laugh out loud funny. Literally; I laughed out loud at least 20 or 30 times in the film. Particularly, the 'mole' sequence with Powers and the undercover guy is hilarious (so is Mini-Austin, and the scene with Austin's father and the laser like the one in Goldfinger). I'm not going to pretend this is the best film ever, but it is enjoyable. Once you get into a series of films, everyone always complains that the later films are not as good as the first regardless of their quality. But personally I felt this film is well worth seeing. Powers films were never the deepest or those with the best plots - its part of their being a spoof. If this was a serious film it would be awful. But its not, so laugh and enjoy.

Summary: I GOT YOU A PRESENT DAD
Review: I thought that this movie was gonna be dumb but it was great! I was surprised when Scott Evil showed up at the start-when Scott was on screen I thought this movie is gonna be great! Hes back baby yeah!
Its been 3 years since Austin had to face his villian Dr.Evil and save the world again-and after Mini-Me and Dr.Evil escape from prison and kidnap Austins father-Austin rushes into swingin action!
And this time hes got Foxxy girl helping him along the way!
Also Dr.Evil has a new villian to stop Austin-GoldMember who loves gold and peels alot. I was really laughing in the theatre watching this movie-and I hardly laugh in the theatre-but this movie was hilarious-especially when Austin is beating up Mini-Me-the whole theatre was laughing! We also get to see that Austin and Dr.Evil were college roommates-and are also brothers-a fact that Scott Evil doesnt find to thrilling since he is the true evil one now! I would reccomend this movie to anyone who feels like groovin or
just wants to party baby yeah! I also loved Austins pad-with that lip couch-awesome!

Summary: If you want a laugh, Try this one out
Review: Wow, for the second time I went to see "Austin Power's in Goldmember" and let me say if you want a comedy, this is one for the ages, I feel this is the best out of the three Austin Power's movies, Mike Myers, just lights up the screen as Austin Powers, Dr.Evil, Fat Bastard, and Newcomer Goldmember. Old faviortes and new delights come into this film, I was laughing out loud non-stop throughout the whole movie, Yes I will admit this movie is not softcore humor, This has a lot of sex jokes and a lot of sick humor, So I would not recommend this to the kids, I am 19 and I loved it. This movie also includes a lot of Cameo's by Britany Spears, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and a lot more, If you don't like comedy's this movie will change your mind, It has good replay value, I have seen it twice and I still laugh just as hard as the first time. Do yourself a favor and go to this movie.

Summary: Better quit now Mr. Myers- Austin's losing the mojo
Review: I have to get it out: I'm an avid Austin Powers fan. I loved the first and greatly enjoyed the second. I walked into AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER, the third installment, expecting to laugh at loud like I did before. But when I walked out, I was extremely surprised. The film could be on my list of disappointing movies this year, along with ATTACK OF THE CLONES, WINDTALKERS and MEN IN BLACK II. The plot involves Austin Powers (Myers), the swinging spy of the 60s, out to once again foil the plans of his nemesis, Dr. Evil(Myers) and his accomplice Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) who want to flood the Earth. But now here comes a new villain, Goldmember (also Myers), who has teamed up with Dr. Evil and kidnapped Austin's beloved father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) and has hidden him in 1975. Austin then travels back to the 70s to reclaim his father and stop Dr. Evil. The story is one of the most major flaws. The narrative structure is messy and some scenes do not even make sense. You never really know which era Austin and his new sidekick Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles) are actually in. They seem to skip back and forth from 1975 to 2002. There are plenty of jokes in the film but there are long stretches with no laughs at all. And most of the jokes are rehashed from the first two films. That doesn't mean they're not funny. It's just that we've seen them before and it's a bit tiring to see them again. The beginning, however, is pure genius, hosting a cast of wonderful camoes. I won't spoil it for you, but it's the most clever scene in the film. Do I recommend AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER? Yes. It's the worst of the POWERS series, but contains enough inspired bits to entertain. However, if you have not seen any of the previous films, stay far away.

Summary: Myers? Forget Him. Give Us More Beyonce !!!
Review: The third "Austin" is clearing showing us that this money-making fanchise is starting to suffer from overproduction: in other words, big money. There is no inspired moments you found in the first Austin; there are recycled ideas here and there, like the projected shadow scenes, which are good proof that Mike Myers needs some rest to be creative again. And about those cameos ... all I can say is they are enjoying the time. But that's OK. This film received mixed reviews simply because it is a mixed bag. Some of you see the good side of it: the others bad. Thet both are right in what they say. The only thing I can really find recommedable, and everyone's opinions concur, is fresh presence of Beyonce Knowles, playing new character Foxxy Cleopatra. Evidently a parody of Pam Grier's Foxy Brown and Tamara Dobson's Cleo Jones, she only should be given an unconditional praise which she very well deserves. Sexy, witty, and most of all good at acting, Beyonce is the reason for me to refrain from hurling negative reviews to this rather tired film. Watch her. She is going to be a bigger thing if only she keeps on doing this great job. There are some good things about the film. One of them is, again, Verne Troyer's Mini-Me, who steals every scene he is in. Michael Caine is pretty good, cutting self-parody figure of Harry Palmer-like spy, which was one of the original inspirations for creation of Austin. The other regular cast is given a chance to make us laugh, and with moderate success, but overcrowded characters give them less chance to shine. It is a great irony, but Mike Myers, who is given the biggest money in the production, is least funny in the film, playing unnecesarily four characters while few of them function quite well. About those cameo stars -- I say again they are enjoying the time, but I don't think all of them equally appeal to you. (In fact, I thought it is kind of funny, but it shows the deplorable lack of creative mind in Hollywood.) Anyway, my advice: Don't be late for the show, and if you miss the opening credits, you miss something you shouldn't. The only exception I find really funny is uncredited Nethan Lane, playing dummy for Foxxy. He shows he is a real artist even in this short time, with his talent. The others, just showing up. The differnce is too big to be ignored, and tells you the rela distinction between just being superstar and professional actor. The film is just an OK one, but Beyonce raises it to a bit higher level. But at the same time, Myers's uninspired jokes about sex and girls are just meant for undemanding children, and his gags about Dutch and Japanese people are just offensive, not because they are politically uncorrect, but because they are helplessly unfunny. Wants to make a good laugh out of sumo wrestlers? Go ahead, it's OK, as long as you make it funny. As it is, you might as well wait for DVD. That might explain too short cameo of Rob Lowe, too.

Summary: the second best of the series
Review: After the good, but a bit dissapointing 2nd Austin Powers, "Goldmember" is an improvement. It has more jokes than the last installment, a funnier music number "It's a Hard Knock Life", and introduces us to three new characters, Foxy Cleopatra, Nigel Powers, and of course Goldmember. The movie does sacrifice alot of story just for jokes, but jokes are why we go to see the movie, and Goldmember has a ton of them. As good as it is though it's not quite up to the original Austin Powers.

Summary: Don't have any expectations
Review: Go into this movie with either no expectations or low expectations. Have a fun time at the movies and try not to compare this to it's predecessors.
If you do the opposite of what I have just told you, you will be sorely disappointed. You might still get a few laughs. As this had some truly funny momments that comedic genius Mike Myers has created.
It doesn't have the same spunk and originality that the first Austin Powers movie had, and is not nearly as funny. I did like Michael Caine's character, he plays Austin's often missing father, Nigel. Fat Bastard pops back up to rear his ugly head. One of Destiny's child plays the female lead, and she is cute in her role as Foxxy Cleopatra. Austin meets her back in the 70's when he goes back to rescue his dad from the villian, "Goldmember", also played by Myers. I honestly didn't like this character. He isn't funny, and is not really all that evil, just annoying. Dr. Evil is a great character, and often I find myself laughing more at what he says than at what Austin says. Mini Mee is back too..and Number 2, Scott, and frawer. I recommend it for fans of this series, just not highly.
