Rating: Summary: Sadly the DVD version has been edited Review: Austin Powers would have to be one of the funniest movies of the decade. That is why it is so disapointing that scenes in the original movie have been cut from this DVD version. Rob Lowe and Lois Chiles were relegated to the deleted scenes section of the DVD but at least they "appeared" albeit not in the movie itself. Where was Christian Slater and the famed "Orange Sher-bert" scene? Not to be found. True fans of Austin Powers may be disappointed with the DVD version.
Rating: Summary: AUSTIN POWERS is a new JAMES BOND movie series? Review: Before "THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME" you had to go back in time to find out how the two Austin Powers started, with "INTERNATINAL MAN OF MYSTERY". Mike Myers (Wayne's world actor and creator) dons the bad teeth and make-up as he stars as 60's spy AUSTIN POWERS. Austin, a 60's sex obbessed british secret agent is released from the ice after 30 years, to do battle with his foe Dr. Evil (Myers again). Good comedy, Myers was funny as Austin and Evil. If You havent seen the sequel, see this one to find out who is Austin Powers. (Followed by a Smash hit sequel AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME) I give this film.9/10, Dr Evil and Austin Powers should be on Celebrity deathmatch.
Rating: Summary: If you dont like this film,then you hate comedy Review: If you like comedy,this is a must own.Mike myers is a comic genius.He is going to be a legend.I love this man.This movie should be hailed as one of the greatest comedies of all time.If you can put up with adam sandler then you have to love mike.must have!
Rating: Summary: It stinks Review: Sophomoric. Silly. Stupid and evokes a few laughs but is highly Overrated
Rating: Summary: Find it hard believe people actually pay to view this movie Review: This was a ridiculously horrid movie with no pupose. It was pointless, disgusting and not worth the least of my time.The only part I laughed at was Mr. Biggleswirth, and even then it was only a mere chuckle. Any one who is intellegent like I am would agree with me as I say "grow up and get a life."
Rating: Summary: Unfunny Casino Royale wannabe Review: This movie is a stupid parody of an intelligent parody, as it steals many of its jokes from the far superior Casino Royale, but what was funny and entertaining in CR (for example the baccara game between Evelyn Tremble-Peter Sellers and Le Chiffre-Orson Welles) ends being nonsensical here (Number Two knows he'll win and bets everything to a number -"I like to risk"; Austin knows Number Two will win and he bets everything to another number -"I also like to risk". Does that make any sense?). And the cinematography is very bad: I never seen it in Widescreen but the pan and scan version looks like a direct-to-video flick. However, I'll go and check the sequel in the Spanish dubbed version, as Dr. Evil's voice is dubbed by the great TV comic Florentino Fernández. You Americans haven't got him, die by envy!
Rating: Summary: Quite Original And Creative. Review: I finally got around to seeing this movie just recently. It was actually quite creative and interesting--not to mention, it had some very funny scenes. Mike Myers does a great job as Austin Powers; it was also cool to see Michael York in his role. This isn't the greatest film I've ever seen, but there's no doubt it's a worthwhile comedy to see. Better than most of what's been out lately.
Rating: Summary: Waste of time Review: Where shoul I begin, I saw this movie when it came out on Cable and I was disappointed in fact I was channel surfing throughout the movie. I then thought to myself that maybe I did not give it the chance it deserved, besides it is suppose to be one of the funniest movies. I burrowed the video from a freind and watched it from beginning to end. It was torturous! towards the end I just wanted the film to end and the credits to scroll up. The only thing that was good about the movie was Myer's portrayl of dr. evil and even that cannot bring it up to 2 stars. Highly overrated and I am not going to bother with the sequel.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious!! Review: I thought this was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!! When I first saw it, I laughed so much I hurt!! The toilet scene with Tom Arnold was especially funny, and I broke into tears I cried so hard. Dr. Evil is one of the movies best parts, and I really wish this movie had more of him. His character is used more in the second movie, but unfortunately it isn't nearly as good as the first one.
Rating: Summary: An original movie but lacking in many areas Review: I am a fan of Mike Myers and I thought Wayne's World and So I Married an Axe Murderer were both great movies. However I think that Austin Powers was not really "laugh out loud" funny and not really entertaining due to somewhat vulgar humor. There are other movies out there if you are looking for a comedy.
