Pros:
1. Mike Myers (Austin Powers/ Dr. Evil/ Fat Bastard/ Goldmember) and Michael Caine (Nigel Powers) deliver great comedic performances, and are utterly hilarious as a duo.
2. There are plenty of Austin Powers wacky funny moments, for example, the running mole gag.
3. The fun and iconic Austin Powers theme tune, which never fails to bring a smile to my face, even had its own dance sequence featuring surprise cameos by Steven Spielberg (Famous Director) and Britney Spears ('Boys' Music Video Performer).
Cons:
1. Mike Myers, whether intentional or not, puts on a distractingly bad Dutch accent for Goldmember.
2. The character of Fat Bastard is just as annoying and pointless as before. The whole gimmick is that he's really fat - that's it.
3. As in the previous film, there are so many jokes that they end up diluting what should be contentious and serious moments.
4. The special effects are really dated, as in the second film.
5. The complete character 180s undertaken by Dr. Evil and Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) don't feel earned or genuine. They decide to turn their backs on their criminality in one scene each after confronted with the truth, or with rejection.
6. The constant celebrity cameos break the immersion as they're just distracting and nothing else. For example, the scene with the Osbourne family lamenting about the recycling of a joke from the previous film.
