Rating: Summary: The Ultimate Review Review: Usally, a film is better then the sequal. It's more origial, and the story line is much better...but not this time. Goldmember is a great film for all ages even if your under 12! The storyline is quite simple (as in all of the films) but is still original and features a greater variety of characters then ever before. The characters are Dr. Evil (as always) Austin Powers (as always) and theres something fishy about....GOLDMEMBER!!!
Rating: Summary: Why did they do this?? Review: I found myself pondering a few question while watching this movie. like why did they make it? how is this funny? how many times are they going to use the same cheap joke so they can avoid actually working on a decent film? Honestly, if i would have paid 20 dollars for my wife and i to see this, the movie theater would have one less employee.
Rating: Summary: I hope this is the last AP film... Review: ...because I don't know where Mike Myers and Jay Roach can go from here. The cameos were outstanding. The film combines elements from the first two films but it had a strange but fresh feel to it (e.g. Lack of psychedelic breaks). Michael Caine was wonderful as Austin's father (Caine's Harry Palmer was one of the main influences of Myers which helped him create AP). Personally, I think that Myers should retire AP because of two words: SCOTTY DON'T!!The DVD is loaded with extras, but I agree that not being able to scan forward and backward is inexcusable.
Rating: Summary: Fairly lame retread Review: The first two were great (they still make me giggle today), but Goldmember has seriously little to offer. The Foxy Cleopatra character makes previous female foils seem downright literary in their complexity. The Goldmember character is incomprehensibly stupid and underexplained. The Fat Bastard poop-jokes are tired. And on and on. Is this to say there are absolutely no laughs to be had? Of course not, but not enough to reward staring at the thing for almost two hours.
Rating: Summary: sweetest Austin yet and the best in the series Review: I thought that the series had run out of originality, Mike Myers has to prove me wrong. The first ten minutes are so creative and packed full of cameos (and if you tell your friends who the cameos appearances are ' your friends will never forgive you) that it sets the pace for the rest of the film perfectly. Even the jokes that he has used in past films he somehow manages to renew and make fresh again. For those parents out there ' watch out ' this is a very risqué film and should probably have been rated R. That being said, the adult humor is what makes this film so great in the first place.If you thought the first and second in the series were groovy, you're going to love the third
Rating: Summary: Best one Yet! =) Review: I don't know why everyone is giving GOLDMEMBER a bad review. It was hilarous! I would have to say the ending was very suprising. But, The parts with the "mole" were the best. It seems to me like at least all the really important characters have been shocked by the size of that thing. But Austin seems effected the most by it. Anyway if you haven't seen iot already, then you ought to. My and my father would laugh fo 5 minutes after a funny scene, then we would start all over again.
Rating: Summary: Austin losing Power Review: The third of the Austin Powers trilogy definitly doesn't carry the surprises and uniqueness of the first two. Primarily a rehash of previous characters and skits. Our family was basically bored with this movie about half way through. Kind of disappointing after the first two movies.
Rating: Summary: The Worst Movie of the Year Review: First of all I'm a huge Mike Myers fan. I loved the Waynes World movies and Austin 1 and 2. But I feel something went terribly wrong here. This movie doesn't have one single laugh to its name. There's only one person to blame for this mess and that is of course Mike Myers. He does a terrible job at playing his own characters. His Dr. Evil isn't even Dr. Evil anymore. It's just Mike myers with makeup. He doesn't inhabit Dr. Evil's mannerisms that made the first two so funny. He just recycles the jokes from the first two. And worst of all AUSTIN DOESN'T SHAG IN THIS MOVIE. What's up with that. And don't get me started on Beyonce Knowles. Her performance makes Heather Graham look like Meryl Streep. The character Goldmember is disgusting, not funny. The twist at the end is enough to make anyone who likes this series ashamed that they paid money to watch this mess. It's time Mike Myers puts Austin to rest for good. Any movie that has a dance sequence with Britney Spears at the beginning is pretty desperate for laughs. Most people that say that they like this movie don't want to admit how disappointing it is. It's truly terrible. I didn't go to the movies for four months after seeing this. I was that disappointed. If you like the first two Austin movies, don't watch this by any means. You'll lose respect for the whole franchise and filmmaking itself. Avoid this movie at all costs.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I was not very happy with the DVD. I was unable to pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. The makers of the DVD clearly did not do their job when it came to code for all types of machines. I felt the makers of the movie did a big injustace because of the bleeps and images they fuzzed out to give the movie a PG-13 rating. If the makers wanted to make a PG-13 movie, they should have filmed it properly.
Rating: Summary: Funnier than first two. Review: Goldmember is a funny movie just like the first two only funnier. It has almost all the original charecters only a few new ones such as Goldmember and Foxy Cleopatra and even though I think Goldmember is just another role for Mike Myers he's OK. This movie is about Dr. Evil once again trying to take over the world by building a sub and wanting a billion,gazzilion,bageilion dollars or he will go back in time to team up with Goldmember and use his heat ray to flud the world but also Scott Evil will become Evil and Miny Me get's dissed by Dr. Evil and teams up with Austin Powers and helps deafeat Dr. Evil, Scott Evil and Goldmember and also dresses up like Austin which is very funny.There is also a very funny scene at the beginning were Dr. Evil and Miny Me rap at a prison full of homies singing It's a Hard Knock Life while hoping the other prisoners will start a riot and at the end of the song they are successful.
