Summary: Can we say-overkill just a bit?
Review: I loved both Austin Powers movies, but this is going a bit far in my opinion. I fear it may suffer from "sequel-itis".
And-I agree that Knowles was a bad choice for the new sidekick. From the previews I've seen, she is over-acting way too badly. She's trying way to hard to be a "good" actress-and it'll smother Austin's style of humor in the movie, in my opinion. (And I HATE that afro-*shudders*)
Other than that-I'm always happy to watch a kick-back, just plain fun "stupid" movie. Meyers is VERY talented and in my opinion-surprisingly classy in his humor. And-the music's pretty cool too.
Hope everyone enjoys it-I'll be there when it opens. :-)

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: I was very fortunate to see this at the alliance studios. I thought, "Beneyce Knowles, that's an even worse choice than Heather Ghram. I wasn't exactly wrong, but I was imprerssed overall I thought this was a movie that's only pourpose is to make money. Well, if it is, it does a good job, like #2. The writing is funny, but I don't know if they have anything left for a fourth installment. Jay Roach directs again. This was origonally rated R, so some editing had to be done to make this PG-13. I can't wait for the DVD, because remember the special features are "unrated." This film still has some repeat jokes and only an okay story, but it is entertaining. Overall, I was impressed, but, in the words of doctor evil, don't expect it to be in the same "calaber" as the first too. It's a little dissapointing, but fans will still enjoy it. Its sort of like Star Wars: Episode 1 in that sense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Looks Funny
Review: This looks like a good movie but that they shouldn't have used Beyonce. They keep switching the sidekicks. It still looks Funny though. I really do want to see this. I have looked on to the computer and found Austin Powers as a kid maybe 6 to 7 years old.?. So I'm guessing that you'll see Austin Powers as a kid in a few scenes!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beyonce Knowles? Please.
Review: How could they follow up two beautiful women (Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham) with Beyonce Knowles??? Although she is very pretty in the face, we could all admit that she needs to lose a few pounds below the belt, while Elizabeth Hurley and Heather Graham are absolutely perfect in every shape and form. Also, I'm tired of all these "singers-turned-actors". Find a groove and stick with it. They should have gotten Pam Grier or Halle Berry!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: CRIKIE!! Are You KIDDING Me!?
Review: Beyonce of destiny's child!!!...YUCK!!... You can't understand a word she says!!!...She's a WORSE choice than Heather Graham was in sequel#2!!!! ~~~Spare Me, Baby!!~~~~~

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Austin Powers is Back... With a New HOT Girl!
Review: I loved all the Austin Powers movies and I can't wait to see this one. But most especially, I can't wait to see how Beyonce Knowles does. She is just so beautiful and with a great body and face...I can't wait to see this movie, and I can't wait to see Beyonce!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Austin is Back!
Review: I was lucky to see this film in a sneak peak when I visited the Alliance Studios. I was pleasently surprised. The film did not lose it's comic edge that it had in the others. There are even more bathroom jokes in Austin Powers 3 then we saw in the first two films. The storyline is focused more on jokes and gags then an actual story, but it's still all very funny. If you are a fan of Austin Powers, this film is not to be missed.
It is rated PG-13 for lots of crude sexual humour throughout the entire film. The original cut received an R rating. Alliance would not accept this and some editing took place to give the movie a PG-13 rating.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Same Old, Same Old...
Review: I won't hesitate a second longer - 'Goldmember' was terrible. The first sequel,' The Spy Who Shagged Me', was bad enough but this really stretches the franchise way too far and over the top.

I would have thought that the writers would have come up with some new material but no, its still the same 'Yeeeah Baby' and 'Very Shagadelic' one liners which bring down this films' credibility even more. It's only saving grace are the vast amount of cameos near the beginning, from then on; its trash. The overused 'mole' joke really gets on your nerves after a while and is just another blatant lack of fresh ideas for this third instalment. Even the appearance of Destiny's Child beauty Beyonce Knowles isn't enough to keep you interested. For real comedy, just stick to the first film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny, but the jokes get old...
Review: I agree with some reviewers that said that the third installment of Austin Powers doesn't live up to its reputation. The first time around, it was genius! The second time around, it was clever and hilarious funny when Minnie Me and Fat B. came along! And the third..eh, a little too hyped up if you ask me. The beginning was awesome. But the only problem is that there were too many camios, many in which didn't even have to be needed (such as Britney Spears? And the funny thing about her entrance is how it look as if she can't even lipsync properly in a movie either). But the beginning of the film was the funniest part of the whole movie if you ask me. But then everything starts to die down a bit with all the bathroom humor, which to me seems a bit childish, something that only little boys would laugh at. But at least there was an effort to build a real plot for this film, instead of just relying solely on camios and bad jokes. Many sequals don't even come close to even trying to build SOME kind of plot that has some relevence to the film itself. But all in all, this film is good for a few laughs. But i wouldn't actually buy it. The novelty has worn off with this third installment. But still, great entertainment.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Goldmember
Review: This latest installment in the Austin powers series is fairly decent at its best. The movie uses a lot of the same jokes from the last Austin Powers movie, and it doesn't even try to be original. The last two films always tried to raise to bar of comedy to new heights, but this one just gets by off the same jokes as before. It's still good for some laughs that'll entertain you, but I wouldn't expect too much out of it. I thought Mike Myers was still very hillarious in this film as the nefarious Dr. Evil, the heroic Austin Powers, the overweight Fat (...), and the new obscene Goldmember. Overall, it's still a good film to watch, but it's too bad it couldn't live up to its potential.
