Summary: Goldmember
Review: Goldmember staring Mike Myers and Beyonce Knowles is the best Austin Powers yet. It's full of hilarious cameos including Tom Cruise, Britney Spears and the Osbouns. This movie takes a huge spin at the end, DO NOT TELL THE ENDING, i give this movie 5 stars. This is one movie you do NOT wanna miss!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: see it again and again!!
Review: The only thing better than seeing Goldmember was seeing it twice. the second time I saw it I caught so many more jokes I almost peed my pants!! Mike Myers is a genius.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: International Man of Redundancy
Review: Super-Agent Austin Powers is back with enough laughs to justify the film and he's bringing someone new along! With that said, it does suffer quite often from material overexposure. For every new character and new twist the film offers, there are ten times as many unnecessary returns from earlier films. When a character mouths a funny phrase, it doesn't have to be said the same way in every film.

Mike Myers does a credible job in all aspects of the film. Each performance truly establishes the tone for the films. His newest creation, Goldmember has thinner character development then earlier roles. His Fat Bastard returns in this film with little to no new material. As the comic cast expands, his title character, Austin becomes less and less enrolling. The addition of his father, Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) does well to resuscitate the characters depth. Dr Evil is the power of the film, a character whose repetitive schtick ages well. Non-Myers roles like the super-supporting Mini-Me and the new Powers girl, the nubile Foxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles, never truly part of the story) remain fresh. Tired beyond recognition is Number Two (Robert Wagner), Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling), Basil Exposition (Michael York) and Scott Evil (Seth Green). They are unnecessary.

Worth the price of admission is the cameo filled opening and closing sequences. The film also has several musical sequences, most of which are low performers. Of course, the film is a must for serious Austin Powers fans, but for those that are squeamish by member jokes, The Gold should be avoided. Otherwise, there are a few moments that allow for laughing out loud.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny-as always
Review: Well what can I say..firstly I'll get the bad points out of the way..this film is not as good as The Spy Who Shagged me and the ending is a little disapointing.

Ok, now we have the bad point out the way, heres a list of the good points..
This film is absolutely hilarious! As a very big fan of the series, I was hoping that this film wouldn't bring the quality of it down..and it hasn't. Although not as good as the previous film, it is, in my opinion, better than the first film. And the cameos..wow! Tom Cruise, Gwynith Paltroe, Kevin Spacey, John Travolta, Danny DeVito, Briteny Spears, Steven Spielberg..they all make a brief appearence at the begining of the film. Mike Myers is a comedy genius, he is absolutely brilliant as Austin, Goldmember and Fat Basterd, and perfect at Dr Evil. If you enjoyed the previous films, you simply have to see this film, if you didn't like the previous films, it is unlikely that this one will win you over. If you havn't seen the previous films..for gods sake, watch them! This is my personal favirote film series (Apart from maybe the Bond series) and is a worthy contender as best comedy films of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mike Meyers Keeps Getting It Better And Better And Better!
Review: Goldmember was better then the previous two! Really. Mike Meyers did an incredible job writing and producing this film and Jay Roach is back directing. This movie lets nothing be untouched by sarcasm and humor. All the old gags are back and all the old expectation of Dr. Evil and his plots and Austin Powers and his Mojo - have all returned. What's so cool about a fun movie like this is that you come out of the theatre imitating all the characters and quoting the dialogue. That's the sign of good movie - and it makes you laugh!

The full cast is back Michael York is the incredibly nieve Basil. Seth Green the notoriously jealous son of Dr. Evil. Robert Wagner as the incredible #2 and even the fabulous Frau is back too! Oh, and Mini Me goes through some surprising and hysterical changes

The story is silly and the plot predictable but the way they go through the story and all the sight gags There is visual humor, sight gags, puns and even quips and quibbles that I know I missed because I was laughing so hard. The new twist is that Austin Powers now has another plot to foil by Dr. Evil except this time it is complicated by his father, Nigel. This role was amazingly performed by the genius of Mr. Michael Caine.
Also Mike Meyers is now playing four roles in this movie - Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat B. and now Goldmember.

Now lets talk about Guest appearances - Gwenyth Paltrow, Danny Devito, Kevin Spacey, Steven Spielberg, Britney Spears and Tom Cruise. How's that for a starter...and that's in the first 10 minutes of the movie. Also John Travolta came along for the ride. Mike Meyers did an incredible job getting everyone together and I pleased to see all these Hollywood biggies also have a sense of humor about themselves.

The music is always classic the opening titles are amazing, the cars and costumes are brilliant and the movie is just as fun as it gets. I can't wait for the DVD on this one! 7-30-02

Summary: Half and half
Review: This is, to be fair, a three and a half star movie.

I love Mike Myers. I think he's one of the funniest, most inventive guys ever. The first two Austin Powers movies were really entertaining, even if the second one had moments of toilet humor. The first half of this third movie in series is just great; it's got a terrific opening sequence with a movie about the movie. There's the introduction of Goldmember, Mike's latest lunatic character creation who is hilarious, quoting lyrics and, in asides, naming the songs they're from. Beyonce is gorgeous--a perfect James Bond female; and the usual crew is on hand. Dr. Evil carrying Mini-me like a new mother makes a terrific first appearance. In other words, all the stuff we love about the Powers movies is there.

Then comes the second half and we get endless toilet humor. I noticed all the little boys in the audience howling happily, just loving every bodily-function joke. But the adults were groaning with dismay, even disgust, at the material. The movie sputters to an end, then partly redeems itself with out-takes during the end credits.

If you loved the first two movies, go see this one with lowered expectations. That said, it's worth seeing just for the great first half.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, but not half as good of a movie as the origonal.
Review: Austin Powers In Goldmember is hilarious (unsuprisingly) but it is not as good of a movie as the origonal (again not suprising). Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery was a classic and by far the best. Austin Powers in goldmember includes more stuff like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me when they are in the tent and it looks like she is pulling stuff out from his...
Again you will laugh like most people expect to but the origonal Austin Powers movie will always be the best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review of 'Austin Powers In Goldmember'
Review: I found the movie very funny. I would recommend the film to anybody after a good laugh. The Austin Powers spoof movie at the beginning starring Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito is very funny! The storyline is great and the new characters Nigel Powers and Foxxy Cleopatra were great! Just go and watch this movie!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I can't believe I didn't like it...
Review: When I was sitting there in the movie theatre waiting for one of my favorite series to start little did I know that the highlight of my night would be seeing the new Lord of the Rings trailer.

The first two movies in the Austin Powers series were brilliant from start to finish. Not only because of greats gags but because there was a solid story in each film. Goldmember feels more like a bunch of comedy skits thrown together then a real movie.

Things that should have been funny just were not. The horrible use of jokes from previous movies wasn't even funny when the annoying Ozbourne family had to show their disgusting faces on screen to say that they were using old jokes.

Beyonce as Foxy Cleopatra did a great job but she was hardly in the movie and didn't play a role that meant anything at all to the movie. But then again, no character was important in the movie and I didn't feel like anything was happening. You had your Dr. Evil sketch, your Fat Bastard sketch, your Beyonce singing sketch, your Goldmember eating his skin sketch and Scott Evil turning into Dr. Evil.

I must mention, that while Seth Green is excellent as Dr. Evil's son they should of never put him as being the next Dr. Evil. Not ONE person in the entire packed theatre laughed at the end, just kind of took a collective deep breath and walked away in dissapointment. This film is like Phantom Menace was to Star Wars. Because of how good the other films were and how big the hype was lots of people will go see it but walk away wondering why they didn't realize how badly they screwed up the movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie [is weak]!
Review: I loved loved LOVED the first two movies, but I would have given this movie NO stars if that was an option. Other than a few chuckles (mostly in the first six minutes), this movie is a total dog...There's no story, the jokes have mostly been done before, and there's no charm. Please, Mike Meyers, DON'T make an Austin Powers 4 unless you have a script that is better than the original. Folks, don't waste your money on this one!
