Summary: Fair at best!
Review: The Austin Powers series may go down as profitable but it will not reach the heights of the great comic films of all time. There is so much one can do with phallic and other genitalia humor. Also, flatulence jokes can only permeate the air for so long. References to the female's mammary glands can get "dry" after a while.Maybe, for 14-year-old boys "Goldmember" is great art. But, for the rest of us, it's a joke that wore out its welcome two films ago.

Summary: The Greatest Austin Powers
Review: Once again, Mike Myers is back as Austin Powers... and Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and a new character Goldmember. All the favorite cast members are back including No. 2, Frau, Scotty Evil, and of course, Mini-Me. Felicity Shagwell is no longer the spy/agent partner. Beyonce Knowles fills this role in an excellent big screen debut. Dr. Evil once again has an evil plot to take over the world, with his Dutch partner Goldmember, who owns a night club in 1975. He kidnaps Austin's father (Michael Caine) and takes him back in time. In order to find him, Powers uses Evil's help, while he plans to blow a meteor up and let the world flood. Mini-Me, Dr. Evil, Goldmember, and Fat Bastard are HILARIOUS! This movie is definately one of the funniest you will see.

Summary: Still Going Strong
Review: I have always liked the Austin Powers movies, but this one, while still very funny, just did not leave me clutching my stomach from laughter pains. Don't get me wrong, this film is very funny at times and Mike Myers did an excellent job, but the addition of Beyonce Knowles and the gratuitous cameos made me think, "Why are they doing that?" I still think that people should check out this film and judge it for themselves. It has it's moments where you're doubled over with laughter, but unfortunately those moments aren't as often as they have been in the past.

Summary: 2 was enough
Review: To tell you the truth, i've never really been a big fan of the Austin Powers movies, but i really thought there was no need for a third. The first two were enough laughs for everyone who enjoys these movies and Mike Myers should use his talents and create something new. I think i may of prefered it if it came out a few years later as in 'the long awaited movie' and then it would have been more enjoyable.

Summary: Make some guaca-MOLE and watch Goldmember
Review: I had seen the first two movies in this series and figured Goldmember would be more of the same - and it was. A lot of the classic characters return, along with new babe Foxxy Cleopatra and new villian Goldmember (whose disgusting habit of picking his skin and eating it crossed the gross-out line).
In this installment (very basically), Dr. Evil is back on his mission to destroy the Earth and he calls on Goldmember for help with his plan titled 'Preparation H'. To keep Austin Powers occupied, they kidnap his father Nigel. Austin and Foxxy foil Dr Evil's plan and save the planet.
My favorite part is all of the pop culture references - the Osbournes make cameos and Fat Bastard goes on the Jared/Subway diet! There are also some crazy, unexpected twists that I do not want to give away, but they leave the door wide open for at least a couple more sequels....

Summary: Queen Austin the First!
Review: This movie passed only one test for my Irish Mountain DVD Assessment. If I was snowed in at Donner Pass and had only this movie to break up the monotony or prevent snow blindness, I would rather go snow blind. The second test is that I would shoot anyone trying to load this into the DVD Player. While you can indeed eat the person you shot, you can't eat, bake or stew a DVD. The fourth test is how un-English the movie is. It totally fails this test. However, it passes the fifth test. Having shot everyone trying to load this, the fifth test that it does pass is that the DVD flies like a Frisbee and is wonderful for skeet shooting practice. In fact, you can even load the machine with these instead of the ceramic plates to do multiple copies.

Summary: Funny as Ever
Review: When I first heard of this movie I found myself saying, "Another Austin Powers movie, whoop-de-doo Basil." I had always liked the other two, but I just couldn't see anything funnier being added to the Austin Powers frachise. I was dead wrong. Goldmember is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen! I don't usually laugh out loud during movies, but I did so multiple times on this one. It was just plain hillarious! "Welcome to my underwater sub. It's long, hard and full of seamen!" "After saying that, I do have some suggestions." Despite it's comedy, there is some flaws. The main plot wasn't the best and wasn't consentrated on. The deal with Austin's dad was very good, but the rest of the plot didn't get very much attention. The first two had very good plots and funny parts, while Goldmember is full of funny and has some good plot parts. Also, the ending wasn't quite satisfying. There was something in the end that happened in the first two but not in Goldmember. Oh well. All in all Goldmember is an extremely funny movie and worth every minute. The new cast members are good and worthy of the Austin Powers franchise. I just thought that Foxxy and Austin should have had a closer relationship. I mean they were supposed to have been going out earlier, they didn't have to go through all the flirting and slow movements again. Oh well. It's a great movie if you want a good laugh and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Hey, No action from Austin in 1975
Review: I thought this was great. The DVD's special features and the Infiniflim feature was better. This story takes place in 1975, but there's one problem that I have (Austin didn't use his gun, he used his fist). Lame, Lame, Lame. The was action from Foxy Cleo. The title should be Foxy Cleo presents Goldmember. She was great then Mr. Powers.

Summary: Goldmember...Good Title!!
Review: AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER is intermittently funny and has few good surprises. The title itself is very funny bringing to mind, and being a parody of the title of the James Bond classic GOLDFINGER. The James Bond franchise wanted to have the GOLDMEMBER title removed from the film not knowing that it actually promoted James Bond more than anything else. Anyway, the biggest surprise is the movie within a movie device in which a film is being made on the adventures of Austin Powers. A clip featuring Tom Cruise as Austin, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, Danny Devito as Mini Me and an almost unrecognisable Gwyneth Paltrow as the love interest is probably the best part of the film. Overall, the film is sporadic either being really funny, or just plain gross (i.e. Goldmember eating his own peeling skin?). One highpoint of the movie however, is the character Foxxy Cleopatra played by Beyoncé Knowles. She does a decent sexy comedic performance and is just flat out beautiful. However, there are times when she just stands around reacting (with facial expressions) to Austin Powers' (Mike Myers) toilet humor and his obsession with a mole on the face of a character played by Fred Savage (THE WONDER YEARS). Overall, a decent film with stop and go humor. A similar series that had almost the same type of humor, but somehow handled it better, and was far funnier, is the Frank Drebin/NAKED GUN/POLICE SQUAD film and tv series.
