Summary: It's a good movie but...
Review: I don't think this is as good as the two older versions. I liked this movie, with some funny jokes, but I didn't laugh as much as the other two. I would say this DVD is definitely worth buying, and almost got five stars, but it could have done better. I think the ending of the movie was good, and should set up Austin Powers 4 quite nicely.

Summary: Unexpectedly hilarious - a quick review
Review: Bought the DVD to watch on my laptop with my friend who was sick in the hospital. Needed a comedy to cheer us up. I bought it only because neither of us had seen it before. As it turned out, it was the best of the Austin Power trio of movies. The actual Goldmember character was boring -- and I still don't like Fat Bastard. But Mini-Me was funnier than ever before, and I was unexpectedly surprised by Beyonce Knowles (who is also gorgeous in this movie). Story is a bit weak -- but the individual scenes are truly funny. Best ones are Austin Powers and the fountain, & Austin and Mini-me walking in the hall-way, and Austin and Mini-me in the doctor's office. The final part of the doctor's office is classic -- laughed and laughed and laughed. Highly recommended -- didn't expect I would like it so much.

Summary: The dentist's nightmare are back!!
Review: The third Austin movie is the best of the three!
I was laughing out loud at some points.
Mike Myers new character "Goldmember" is hilarious when he speaks whit a dutch accent and eats his own skin.
DVD owners can watch a really, really funny (deleted) scene where Goldmember is explaining to dr Evil what a "fazha" is!!
If you like this type of humour, give this movie a try! You'll love it!
Otherwise, don't!

Summary: Third time's a charm
Review: By now I'm sure the only way you would want to see this movie is if you liked the first two. And that's fair to say. You either love the Austin Powers saga or you don't. It's as simple as that. Very rarely do we find a second, far more a third, sequel that can hold our attention like the first did. I mean, even Jaws 3 wasn't that good. But Mike Myers is at it again, dreaming up new ideas, new characters, and even a new ending. I was most surprised by the ending of Goldmember. I can't say I was eagerly awaiting it, but I was kind of hoping for a better ending. I'm not going to tell you anything about the ending; other than the fact that there will be an Austin Powers 4. They make sure of that. I don't know how many more of these spoofs we'll be able to take. Our sides will be split open from laughter. Anyway, about the third one: it's very funny. It's funnier than "The Spy Who Shagged Me" but not as good as the original Austin Powers. And if you read the cast list for this one, you will find cameos from Ozzy Osborne, Britney Spears, Steven Spielberg, John Travolta, Danny DeVito, and even Fred Savage (from "The Wonder Boys", and his part's a bit more than a cameo). Fred Savage plays Number 3, and has a huge mole on his face. This, as you can imagine, provides for some of the best laughs of the Austin Powers series. There is also a new girl. After Elizabeth Hurley and Heather Graham, it's hard to find another great replacement. Beyoncé Knowles, singer of Destiny's Child, plays the part of Foxxy Cleopatra. And she does okay. I will say that she wasn't as good as either Liz or Heather, but it worked out pretty well. Again, this goes without saying, if you liked either Austin Powers 1 and/or 2, then you will surely like this one. If you hated the first 2, then you will hate this one as well. Otherwise you are in for a pleasent surprise at the end.

Summary: YEAH BABY, He did it again.
Review: Though Goldmember is not as ingenious as the first Austin Powers, nor was it as funny as the second film, I would have to say that Goldmember is still a very funny movie and for this to be the third installment of a comedy and to still be funny is pretty incredible. Mike Myers is amazing. He can pull off so many characters so well that he is practically a one-man show. The movie itself also boasts a pretty interesting and wacky storyline that Austin Powers fans will really enjoy. If you have not seen the previous two movies, it is not really necessary to, though you should take the time to see them. In the movie itself, we meet Austin's father, a new villain named Goldmember, the new spy girl Foxy and a bunch of the characters from the previous movies. They take part in a crazy new adventure that is as bizarre as it is funny, and in the end, leaves room for a sequel, to the delight of all the fans. This is not a bad DVD to check out if you were thinking of getting it. Lots of great stuff is featured on the DVD and the movie is very entertaining.

Summary: YEAH, BABY, YEAH! AUSTIN POWERS FOREVER!
Review: I TOTALLY LOVED THIS MOVIE, AND I MUST HAVE LAUGHED HARDEST AT THIS SEQUEL THAN THE OTHER TWO, ALTHOUGH I AM A DIEHARD AUSTIN POWERS FAN. I LOVED THE SPOOF AT THE BEGINNING WITH TOM CRUISE, KEVIN SPACEY, AND DANNY DEVITO. ANOTHER FAVORITE SEQUENCE WAS WHEN AUSTIN, BASIL, DR. EVIL, AND NO. 2 WERE TEENAGERS. TEENAGE AUSTIN IS BRILLIANT! ANOTHER FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN DR. EVIL AND MINI ME ESCAPE FROM JAIL. I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED! THE ONLY THING THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK SO WELL FOR ME WAS THE MOLE JOKE. THAT WAS NOT TOO FUNNY. GOLDMEMBER WAS BIZARRE..., AND THE FAT BASTARD CHARACTER IS REALLY DISGUSTING AND I THINK IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF HIM AND BRING IN SOMEONE NEW - LIKE WAYNE OF WAYNE'S WORLD OR EVEN DEITER (DARE I MENTION IT, AFTER ALL THE LEGAL PROBLEMS MIKE HAS HAD BECAUSE OF THAT CHARACTER). MIKE MYERS IS A GENIUS AND I HOPE HE KEEPS MAKING AUSTIN POWERS MOVIES FOREVER. IF YOU READ THESE REVIEWS, MIKE, WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ANOTHER AUSTIN SEQUEL WHERE WAYNE MEETS AUSTIN IN THE '80s? AUSTIN HAS TO GO BACK TO THE 80s - HE CAN GO FUNK OR NEW WAVE. KEEP AUSTIN GOING!

Summary: It's SOLID GOLD, baby!
Review: If you love Austin Powers this is the movie for you,baby! Austin Powers in Goldmember is a combination of James Bond meets Shaft!This movie is so funny. This time Mike Myers plays not only Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Fat Bastard but a crazy disco loving, fruity man named Goldmember who lost his genitalia in an unfortuante smelting accident! Dr. Evil wants to melt the polar ice caps and he and Frau, Number 2, Scott, and Mini-Me (played very good by Mindy Sterling, Robert Wagner, Seth Green, and Verne Troyer) steal Austin's father Nigel, played by none other than Mr. Micheal Caine! Goldmember has him hostage in his disco club back in 1975! Austin boogies in time and meets the jive afro headed Foxxy Cleopatra played by Beyonce Knowles, who did a great job in her first big screen movie! Now, I don't believe in ruining a movie so I won't! However ,the infinifilm features on this dvd are great! You can see four music video's and plenty of behind the scenes footage along with bloopers and other things! This movie was just amazing and was packed with jokes however, the film really didnt tie back in with the whole secret spy thing, however it was really funny and people with odd names are back just like they were in the first two films! Fook Mi and Fook Yu, japenese twins! And of course Austin alwaze has to have a new girlfriend, and this time its Foxxy Cleopatra, a bad mother-shut cho mouth! The laughs keep coming as Austin and Foxxy try and save the world! Its SOLID GOLD, baby!

Summary: Not quite enough of the midas touch
Review: "Austin Powers in Goldmember" is the third (and hopefully final) installment of the popular James Bond spoof series. The reason I say final is not because the movie is bad, but because it's so entertaining and works so hard to tie up all loose ends that a fourth movie would have little chance of topping it. This time around, Austin must stop Dr. Evil from melting the polar ice caps with a device known as "Preparation H." Along the way, he must travel through time, reconnect with an old girlfriend, reconcile with his father, and battle the insane Goldmember. Part of what makes "Goldmember" work is that there is some semblance of a plot this time around. While the plot is still just an excuse to string together gags, it manages to reference events from the other movies, the Austin Powers mythos, and even toss is a few twists in the ending. Yes, the emotional revelations are played for laughs, but they resonate just enough to give a sense of purpose to the adventure, something that was missing from "The Spy Who Shagged Me." The acting is top notch. Mike Myer's ability to play four distinct characters is impressive, and Goldmember is highly memorable. Beyonce Knowles gives energy and personality to Foxxy Cleopatra, and Seth Green and Verne Troyer continue to develop their characters. Michael Caine, in his limited screentime, is hilarious as Austin's father. Of course, the series depends on its gags, and while not everything is funny, enough of it is that the ... bits don't matter. Thankfully, the screentime of a certain obese character has been toned down, along with most of the jokes involving body fluids. What we have left are clever perspective tricks, musical numbers, shadow play, a funny subtitles joke, parodies within parodies, and lots of celebrity cameos. All in all, while "Goldmember" doesn't have the originality of the first film, it comes in a very close second. While the audio and video for the disc are both top-notch, I have to say the supplements disappointed me. New Line's infinifilm concept does nothing for me - it's a glorified version of the "follow the white rabbit", "007 logo", and countless other extended branching play options on other DVDs. What's worse is that it forces the extras to broken down into several little tidbits that aren't as long as they should be. Goldmember definitely had enough extras for a 2-disc treatment, and use of Infinifilm meant stuff was left out (including the Liz Hurley/Heather Graham deleted scenes). Other than that, this DVD is still highly entertaining and worth picking up for Austin Powers fans.

Summary: One Good JaZamm! of a time, for an ok movie!
Review: This movie ok, it wasn't horrible, but it could have been alot better. I'm not to certain to give it 2 stars or 3, so I really would give it 2.5. The rating chart doesn't give that so I just rounded up to 3 stars. I found this movie just ok. The jokes were the same alot from the second and third to this one. The only real good new joke was the "fook me, fook yu" joke.
The movie is all about Dr. Evil and Mini-me want to flood the world, (their in a submarine), with the help of Goldmember. They get caught by Austin, and go to Jail. Austin Powers gets knighted and his father wasn't there. Austin's Dad gets kidnapped by Goldmember in 1975. (Nigel Powers gets kidnapped after the knighting ceremony.) So Austin travels back in time to 1975 where he meets Foxxy Cleopatra to team-up with to get Austin's father and stop Goldmember. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil and Mini-me break out of jail. Can Austin and Foxxy stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember? (I'm leaving you in suspence, because I don't want to give the ending away.)
I give this movie extra points because of the special apperances.. such as.. Tom cruise, The Osbournes, Brittney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Danny DeVito, Steven Spielberg, Kevin Spacey, Katie Couric, John Travolta, and some more. acting wise Mike Myers isn't that great. I'd give him 1/3. But I do have to give him credit for being Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Goldmember, Fat B. Beyoncé Knowles was ok, especially for her first film. I give her 2/3. and everyone else I would give 1/3.
The infinifilm extras was great! I loved the Deleted sceans and the bonus stuff. That deserves a few stars itself.
But all and all.. I would give this ok movie 2.5 (3) stars. Most jokes were the same but this one is more hip and hop than the others. I would put 1. Austin Powers: The spy who shagged me 2. Austin Powers In Goldmember 3. Austin Powers: International man of mystery. This one had more action and exciting things in it than the others. I give it 2.5 (3) stars.
