Rating: Summary: A million times better than first Austin Powers movie Review: The first Austin Powers movie was so stupid that I gave it negative stars. I was hesitant about purchasing the movie pre-viewed on VHS. I watched it and I was amazed. This movie was so much funnier, with more spoofs, and MINI ME. Yes, Mini Me. And, Dr. Evil was so much more EVIL, and funny as much as he was evil. I think that Austin was more sexy yeah baby. I also thought that Heather Graham was sexier than Elizabeth Hurley anyway. This movie was so shagadelic, baby. baby. So much so that I watched it about fifty times already and I am not tired of it.

Rating: Summary: My favorite movie of that year! Review: That was my favorite movie of the year. It is extremely funny but has a lot of sexual humor. Any kid that has taken SexEd or is in 4th grade should be fine though. A funny movie.
Rating: Summary: Meyers in top form in uneven sequel Review: The comic genius of Mike Meyers is once again in top form in this sequel. His greatest creation continues to be Dr. Evil, who eclipses our hero in interest here. The humor ranges from dry and witty to the truly revolting. The make-up that transforms Meyers into the disgustingly obese Fat Bastard earned an Oscar nomination. Not for every taste.
Rating: Summary: DVD widescreen only stinks Review: This is a really funny movie but does not offer the choice of switching to a full tv screen. With all the extras packed in they should have included a full screen or pan scan version. WIDESCREEN ONLY DVD's STINK!
Rating: Summary: The Same Plot Review: This movie was the same as the first. I saw this movie beforethe first one and thought it was decent, but very funny. When I sawthe first later on, I realized that this was like a copy. It had the same exact plot (Austin escaping Evil and Evil wanting to kill Austin and take over the world) and the same jokes ...
Rating: Summary: Hot Stars and Everything A movie needs! Review: 4½ stars really, I really enjoyed this Austin Powers Sequel. It's got a hot actor(Seth Green), comedy, and love. What else do U need? Well personally I think Scott need a sister to tottally fight with!That would be so cool!
Rating: Summary: hit-and-miss sequel Review: The original 1997 "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" was something of a movie boxoffice phenomenon. Earning less than $60 million dollars domestically in its theatrical run, the film blossomed into a worldwide "cult" favorite via its release on home video. Its sequel will easily earn three or four times that amount in theatres and, when it hits video stores in the fall - well the sky's the limit. Like many others, I first encountered the original film on home video and found it to be a refreshingly wacky, high-spirited take off on 60's spy films that also managed to deftly satirize the mood and mores of that time as well as of the less-than-swinging '90's. Part of the comic genius driving the original film was the ludicrous juxtaposition of Powers' anything-goes mentality of the free-love decade with the more foulmouthed, but actually less liberated, lifestyle of the present. The new film, like most sequels, almost by definition, lacks the freshness and originality of the first film (which itself does not, I must admit, hold up that well upon repeated viewings). Myers' double personas - of Powers the irrepressibly horny, always blissfully invulnerable secret agent and Dr. Evil, the hopelessly anachronistic want-to-rule-the-world villain - still reflect this extraordinarily talented actor's comic genius. The now classic expressions, inflections and repeated catchphrases with which Myers imbues both characters cannot fail to provoke a chuckle and even an occasional guffaw from the audience. But "The Spy Who Shagged Me" suffers from the curse of all these scattershot, laugh-a-minute gagfests: for every joke or sightgag that works, there are an equal number that land with a resounding thud. Moreover, the frenetic pacing often leaves the audience more exhausted than exhilerated. This is not to say that this new film does not have its share of silly laughs - with this many comic attempts a goodly number are bound to succeed. The humor, in fact, runs the gamut from the satirically witty to the downright scatalogical. Prepare to be offended if endless jokes about male sexual organs and human waste products are not to your taste. As before, the colorful costume design, reflecting the psychedelic motifs of the 1960's fashion world, are brilliantly recreated - even more so in this film because the plot this time involves Powers' return to that time period to retrieve his "mojo" which Dr. Evil has had extracted from him in the past. One clever touch is having Rob Lowe portray Robert Wagner's 1990's character as he appeared in 1969, utilizing Wagner as a voice over. The series of jokes that are least successful are the exchanges between Dr. Evil and his son Scott which emerge as uninspired and grating. All in all, this "Austin Powers" is worth a few hearty chuckles and gives us a chance to watch Myers in action again. I wonder though if this concept may have already gone once too often to the well. The inevitable Part 3 will surely tell.
Rating: Summary: The Best Film I Have Ever Seen-When's the Next Sequal Review: This film is the best because it is sooooo funny! How does Mike Myers do it? It is also very cleverly written and contains lots of great humor! I personally like doctor Evil the best as he is so great he is almost cute! Also, will people leave Heather Graham alone, she did a great job! A great film with some unfair reviews! From RonanGirl@aol.com
