गोल्डमेम्बर में ऑस्टिन पॉवर्स

While this is still not as funny as the first one, it's still worth watching. It has a load of recycled jokes from both of the earlier films, and a little too many references to the first, in my opinion. It's not entirely bad though, after a slow start it kicks off and gets very funny, very quickly. Most of the old characters return, with a few new ones too. The plot is pretty much the same old deal from the first two, still spoofing old Bond movies. The acting is still pretty good. The characters are more colorful in this one, I think. More developed, perhaps. The sexual crude humor is still there, and is better here than in the second movie, I think. The first is still the best, but if you only see one of the sequels, I recommend you see this one. I thought the twist-in-the-end was pretty lame, but it didn't entirely ruin the movie, as it didn't seem totally out of character or totally unbelievable. I'd recommend this to anyone who liked either or both of the first two movies. The humor is mostly the same, and people who enjoyed the first two will most likely also enjoy this one. 7/10

Shag-happy superspy Austin Powers is back for the third installment of the spy-spoof franchise . Austin Powers (Mike Myers) travels back to the 70s to find his secret agent dad Nigel (Michael Caine) hook up with love interest . Upon learning that his father has been kidnapped, Austin Powers must travel to 1975 and defeat the aptly named villain Goldmember, who is working with Dr. Evil. Austin teams up with Foxxy Cleopatra (kitchy eye candy Beyoncé Knowles) in order to rescue the world and to foil his look-alike nemesis , Dr Evil . If he were any cooler, he'd still be frozen, baby!. Frozen in the 60's... thawing spring '97, baby!. Debonair. Defiant. Defrosted. On July 26th the Secret Will Be Exposed . He's still evil... He's still deadly... and he's still surrouded by frickin' idiots!. The grooviest movie of the summer has a secret, baby!. What do you call a swinger old enough to be your father? Daddy!. A New Breed of Evil.

Hilarious and non-sense spoof of 60s spy and babe films . A festival of scatological humor, crushed velvet , political incorrectness , bad taste and silliness . Myers revels in playing the fool old-snaggle tooth, and he may step over the line every once in a while , but he gets plenty of mileage out of the one-joke premise . Myers wisely highlights the not-so-good Goldmember , along with other roles , instead of the periodically wearisome Powers . Myers again takes on numerous characters , this time adding a new villain Goldmember , a Disco-clad Dutchman with a gilded prosthetic and a penchant for world domination. Dr Evil is in good form but soft newcomer Goldmember comes up short and Myers is running out of fun ideas . MGM studios raised a stink about the title , too close to James Bond's Goldfinger , but finally saw the light and allowed the parody to continue. The motion picture was regularly directed by Jay Roach and in similar style than previous entries. Rating : 5/10 . Mediocre but it all still works because of Myers 's winking nice nature .

The trilogy is as follows : Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) by Jay Roach with Mike Myers , Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York , Mimi Rogers, Robert Wagner , Seth Green, Fabiana Udenio. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) by Jay Roach with Heather Graham , Michael York , Robert Wagner, Rob Lowe , Seth Green, Mindy Sterling, Verne Troyer, Elizabeth Hurley, Gia Carides. And Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) with Beyoncé Knowles, Seth Green, Michael York , Robert Wagner, Mindy Sterling, Verne Troyer, Michael Caine, Fred Savage .

Although it's definitely not the best Austin Powers film, Goldmember is still a good little film to watch when there's nothing else on. There's still a chuckle to be had with a wonderful cast with Mike Myers reprising his role (well, roles) as Austin Powers and Michael Cain as Austin's father was a good choice. Despite being more in the 70s than the last two even though Austin is clearly a 60's stereotype, it's a good film to pass the time with a couple of laughs.

While the first two Austin Powers films in this comedic series concentrated on spoofing the late '60s/early '70s, James Bond movies and concentrated on female anatomy in the process, this one was centered on penises. I kid you not. (Hence, the title, a play-on-words from "Goldfinger.")

I watched this film twice, within two weeks of each as I showed a friend the second time. The first time I thought it wasn't as funny overall as the other two Powers films and was a bit too raunchy, especially for the PG-13 rating which is ridiculous. After the second viewing, I changed my mind about the comedy (not the rating): it is just as funny if not more than the other two.

A couple of the scenes were hilarious, although very crude in spots but some of the crudeness is what makes it funny. However, most of time I laughed more at the many subtle double entendres and all the double takes by Mike Myers, who plays at least four characters in here...all of them very well.

It's goofy, stupid and nothing spectacular but definitely fast-moving and entertaining. If you've seen the other Austin Powers films, you know what this basically is going to be, humor-wise.

Beyonce Knowles, who played the female lead, didn't have the beauty or body of Heather Graham or Elizabeth Hurley, stars of the other two films, but she isn't bad. There are numerous cameo appearances in here, starting right off the bat with Tom Cruise.

Overall: sick (again) but funny (again.)

The first Austin Powers film was so fresh, zany, charming, witty and unique. It took some time for many people to catch on (hence it's legendary video rental record), but it was dazzlingly, mesmerizingly adorable. The sequel came out and rather tarnished the prior film by either dumping or revising various story elements and especially by taking a turn towards the crude and vulgar. Still, it had it's share of interesting moments and laughs. In this third installment, the goodwill is almost completely gone. What remains is a hopelessly indulgent, often foul and unfunny conglomeration of "jokes" and gags, many based on bodily functions or other off-key subjects. That is not to say that the film doesn't still deliver quite a few laughs. It's just that by now, the whole enterprise seems very worn and familiar. There are several truly funny sequences in the film, but mostly it is saved only by some surprising and "right on" star cameos and the fresh appeal of Knowles. The (typically) ludicrous plot kicks off with Powers having to rescue his father (Caine) from the title character by travelling (too briefly) to 1975. Then the whole parade of series characters is involved in either starting or stopping the world's total destruction. Myers is undeniably brilliant at creating various characters and giving them each a voice of his own. He succeeds in creating these people who seem real unto themselves. Unfortunately, he also is bent on catering to what has to be a 13-year-old boy target audience with endless, endless potty jokes and gross out gags. Some of them are very amusing. Some of them are just gross. After a short while it becomes overkill. Knowles (who is certainly no "actress") comes across as very attractive and surprisingly charismatic on film. Her character is mostly decorative, but she serves the purpose very, VERY well. Her take-no-prisoners attitude is refreshing, even if she is continuously shown being kicked in the face. By now, Myers is so much the whole show that previous supporting cast members (Sterling, Green, Wagner, York) can barely get a word in. Who knows how much of their stuff was cut in the hour-plus of leftover material, but certainly plenty of Myers was left in. It's hard to imagine the lengthier cut because this one seems interminable, even with the bright spots. The opening sequence is brilliant. The character named Dixie......hilarious full name. Other creative and funny bits occur throughout, but the film can not escape it's pall of crudeness and alienating self-indulgence.
