 | Austin Powers is an ambitious, sturdy spoof of all things James Bond. Mike Meyers carries the film like a pro in his roles as Powers and even more successfully as the evil doctor DR EVIL.
The story brings a 60s super spy to the late 90s and much of the film hopes for humor based on this 'fish out of water, baby!' But, even when the humor is funny, AUSTIN POWERS is a one-trick pony so it often results in the lowest of humor.
There are some nice moments, mostly involving DR EVIL and his son battling like the dysfunctional family they are. The 007 jokes usually fall flat, having been parodied so many times earlier. The beautiful Mimi Rogers and Elizabeth Hurley portray mother and daughter who are women in Austin's life both with hypnotizing eyes and accents. With a couple nods to Burt Bacharach, the film has some nice moments.
The DVD has a nice transfer and has some excellent goodies. Mike Myers really hones his work even more in the superior sequel. 'Oh, Behave.'
Austin Powers has returned with the third in the series, AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER.

| I watched this movie, well the begining with my friend Lesley and I was so disgusted with all the nonsense and sexual stuff in the movie. I was praying for her mother to come and take her and luckily she did. It was also disgusting. I am truely disappointed in Mike Myers. It's not a movie for kids. I do like Mike in other movies too, though. I like Shrek and the 2nd and I only saw some of so I married an axe murderer. I also liked Wayne`s world sort of the 2nd is okay. This movie is not for children! |

| Ha Ha! This is one of my FAVORITE movies of all time! Mike Myers is a classic, and he is THE best AP!
THE SMASHING STORY: Back In the sixties, Austin Powers was very shagadelic. He loved the ladies, and he would always want to SHAG them. Till one day, a megalomaniac named Dr. Evil escapes from earth in a Big Boy, so Austin freezes himself and is then Unthawed in 1997 and picks up this hot chick named Vannessa (Did I spell that right?) and so he and Vanessa go to stop Dr. Evil when Big Boy returns to earth. And also, Scott Evil Is HILARIOUS.
SHAGEDELIC THOUGHTS: This is a Classic! I loved every bit of it. and I think you will, (for those who havent seen it) And it's Definitly a classic. |

| Heh heh. How could you hate this movie? It's a classic.
The story goes like this, in 1967, secret agent Austin Powers [a ladies man] sees his nemesis, Dr. Evil freeze himself and escape in a Big Boy, Austin decides to freeze himself in case Dr. Evil ever returns. Thirty years later, the Big Boy returns to Earth and Dr. Evil is revived. So the agents revive Powers, but both have one helluva time getting to adjust. That's the plot without spoilers.
This movie is HALARIOUS! Filled with over-the-top sixtie's sexual humor [I want to "shag" ya baby! Allotta Fagina], to the humor of Doctor Evil and his son, Scott, this movie will make you laugh your "meat and two veggies" off! You are gonna shag over this movie! |
