 | I saw the first two Austin Powers movies with a British friend, who was practically rolling in the aisle the whole time. I enjoyed them too, but about half of the British humor went over my head. But I still thought they were funny. And my friend definitely did. In fact, sometimes I was laughing just because of his infectious laugh, to the point where I had to use my asthma inhalor a couple of times. :-)
But I enjoyed this film more than the previous two, except for the character of Goldmember, who just wasn't funny at all. Goldmember was more like Goldloser. I mean come on, I'm not even a comedian and even I could think of funnier things to do with the Goldmember character. He didn't even have brass (or gold) balls that clanked when he walked. :-) But the other funny characters and throw-away gags still make the film worth viewing.
In some ways, Michael Myers reminds me a little bit of our David Letterman in his approach, whose humor ranges from the cerebral to the low-brow and to cheap, throw-away gags that still get a laugh as in the ones in this movie. In that sense, the low-brow sort of British humor is somewhat incongruous, if you consider how prim and proper and upstanding the British can be on the one hand, and yet on the other, their low-brow humor can be even cruder than the American sort. :-) So overall, a pretty funny flick despite Myers missing the mark completely with the Goldmember character. |

| I really don't know why people are dissing this. It was another AP classic.
This time, AP has captured Dr. Evil and Mini-me. Evil is sent to a maximum security prison and Mini-me to a normal prison. But after his father Nigel Powers is kidnapped, AP questions Evil and learns that a man from the 70's named Goldmember has him. Meanwhile, Evil and Mini-me esacpe from prision!!!
This film has a lot of great moments. Foxy Cleopatra, Evil and Mini-me rapping, The Osbournes, Fat Bastard sumo wresteling, the subtitles joke, the surprise ending, and Fook Mie and Fook Yuo, to name a few. But whatever happened to Felecity?
This film is a must-see. But IGNORE THE REVIEWS UNDER 4 STARS! And AP 4 is coming in 2007. Scott will probably be the main villian. |

| Austin powers is Mike Myers at his funniest doing what he loves through more then one character! He takes his great talents and uses them to create the Extremely funny Dr.Evil, Fat bastard, gold member And the star Austin Powers. This Movie is a comedy classic and chances are if you've seen it at all you've seen it more then once; and you just cant get enough. I do believe that this is the best out of the whole series, its the kinda movie that makes you laugh ever scene to a point where your almost catching your breath at the end. even If you've seen the movie many times you should buy this DVD. infifilms makes the best DVDs.. i could not believe the amount of special features on this disc. Extremely funny out takes, alternative scenes, commentary (that doesn't suck), music videos This DVD gives a whole new look at the movie and if you've seen it and you like it you should definitely buy this DVD. all said this is a 5 star comedy great and is a must for all DVD/VHS collections |

| I saw this in the theatre on opening day. Yet I din't understand it as much as i understood he first 2, but then again, I enjoyed it. Then i got it for Xmas the same year and I just watched it a couple days ago. This, I think, is the best outta all of them.
STORY: In 2002, Austin is still shagadelic. He one time stops Dr. Evil's plan he had and is knighted by the queen of England... only to find his dad did not attend. Dissapointed by his fazha's(as GM says)failure to attend, He then stops by Dr. Evil's prison and is informed to go back to 1975 and rescue him. but then, a Dutch henchman named Goldmember kidnaps him, takes him back to 2002, and then Austin, and a chick named Foxxy Cleopatra meanwhile Dr. Evil escapes with Mini Me from prison, and start fresh on a sub going into Japan.
THOUGHTS: Awesome! I liked how Fat Bastard has T**ts in this one. And HARD KNOCK LIFE from "Annie", thats hilarious!
You should own all AP movies! Especially this! |

| i like the 3rd one very much, its just that they keep using the same jokes all over again, this time they used boobs, the satelite, it is funny but not as funny as the first one, and i thought it was funny how Fat Bastard lost alot of weight, and he had all that extra skin, and the 3rd one starts just like nothing ever happened on the 2nd one, theres no Felicity Shagwell, or the other Austin Powers, or anything, i still thought it was funny, it was funny when Austin Powers blows Brittnay up, then he says "Oops!...I Did It Again, Baby", he refers to the 1st one and i think the 2nd one too, overall i give the movie, 4 stars because it is still funny, (funnier than the 2nd one), but not as funny as the 1st one |
