Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
HotToastyRag Mike Myers is back for a third installment of his hilarious spy spoof franchise in Austin Powers in Goldmember. He continues to wow and amuse audiences with his multiple roles, playing Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and Goldmember, the new villain in the film. You'll see some familiar faces, Michael York, Seth Green, Robert Wagner, Mindy Serling, and Verne Troyer, but in this third movie—which doesn't necessarily have to be watched in order, but it does help—you'll most likely roar with laughter because of the new faces added to the cast.Firstly, and let's face it, most importantly, Michael Caine is in the movie. Since Mike Myers had previously revealed part of the inspiration behind his Austin Powers movies was Michael Caine's Harry Palmer character, it's pretty adorable and fitting that Michael Caine was recruited to play Austin Powers's father! And, as a very sweet touch, since Myers's glasses were made to be a replica of Caine's, Caine found his original frames from the 1960s and wore them for the film! Michael Caine is everything you'd expect Austin Powers's dad to be, and pretty much everything out of his mouth is completely hilarious. I'm sure you'll gain some household phrases from this movie, whether it's "If you have an issue, here's a tissue" or "There are two things in this world I hate: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch" or his joke about Viagra.Next up is the hysterical opening to the film: At first you think you're just watching Austin Powers in a car chase sequence, but he gets out of the car and it's actually Tom Cruise! Turns out, Steven Spielberg is making a movie about Austin Powers, starring Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and John Travolta. Add in cameos by Britney Spears, Quincy Jones, Katie Couric, the Osbourne family, Burt Bacharach, Rob Lowe, Clint Howard, and Nathan Lane—in one of the funniest gags of the movie—and you'll be on your toes for the entire film, wondering who's going to pop up next.Beyoncé makes her film debut in the movie, and while it's painfully clear she has zero acting ability, if you'd like you can cut her a little slack since she was only twenty years old. Still, her lack of confidence and talent in front of the camera doesn't really detract from the rest of the film. It's extremely funny, and full of phrases you'll find yourself repeating for decades to come.
Python Hyena Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002): Dir: Jay Roach / Cast: Mike Myers, Verne Troyer, Beyonce Knowles, Michael Caine, Seth Green: The series may be running out of mojo for Goldmember lacks the freshness of the first film and duplicates jokes that were already repeated in the second film. Goldmember is a slang term and the name of the villain who kidnaps Austin's father Nigel and brings him back to 1975. Standard fare but director Jay Roach reveals the origins of Powers and Evil. Mike Myers brings energy as the sex-craving secret agent and the absented-minded Dr. Evil. Austin feels disappointed at the absence of his father. Dr. Evil goes to prison, and we learn more family secrets. Myers also portrays the new villain Goldmember. Verne Troyer goes through growth as Mini-Mi who joins Evil in prison but will question his worth when Evil's son Scott takes a step up. Beyonce Knowles is underwritten as Foxy Cleopatra who appears as an agent in 1975. She serves little purpose other than to parody classic Pam Grier roles. Michael Caine as Nigel is a pleasure and inspired casting despite the predicted resolution. He is kidnapped by Goldmember but feels hardly fazed. Seth Green also returns as Scott Evil with an interesting transformation of his own. Despite its recycled vulgarity the production is colourful and pointlessly amusing. In its 70's galore. Score: 5 ½ / 10
Wuchak Mike Meyer's three Austin Powers flicks parody James Bond and the swinging 60s-70s. They are as follows: "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997), "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) and "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002). What's interesting about these films is that Austin Powers (the character) is not a full spoof of 007 as he's his own character, just with Bond-like qualities.Anyway, I wasn't sure I wanted to review any these flicks because, by doing so, I'm admitting that I actually watched them (lol)! I say this because they're so goofy, juvenile, silly, sometimes raunchy (more verbally than pictorially) and filled with toilet humor. So I was never a fan and didn't even watch any of them until 2009. What turned me off? Besides the toilet humor and raunch, Powers (the character) seemed to have a gayish quality despite being a renowned ladies man in the stories. A good example is when he says, "Oh, beHAAAve," which never struck me as funny, just gay.I've since seen all three twice and, despite my reservations about Powers and distaste for toilet humor, I do enjoy the zaniness and stoo-pid humor. If you can catch a grip with these films they're laugh-out-loud funny about a third of the time, sometimes more depending on the movie."Goldmember" is my second favorite of the trilogy behind "The Spy Who Shagged Me." It has the best opening, by far, with unexpected cameos and the first half is often laugh-out-loud funny. If it kept up the laughs it would've taken first prize, but the second half loses its mojo, while still being likable and amusing. Beyoncé takes the place of Heather Graham as Austin's babe while Fred Savage plays Number Three and Michael Caine appears in a pretty significant role.Best quote: "Riiiiiiigggghhhttt." The film runs 94 minutes and was shot in Southern California; Reno, Nevada; Moab, Utah; and England.GRADE: B
kechhh Surprisingly, this was my favorite Austin Powers movie out of the series while it seems to be the least favorite of everyone else.Many of the jokes are rehashed, and while funny, were still not as funny as the first time they are used. Despite this, I feel this movie came up with a decent amount of new jokes and stupid circumstances which I thought were incredibly hilarious.The acting was once again good enough for what the movie achieved.I think that this was a fitting end for the conclusion of the series. The jokes about Austin Powers are definitely reaching their end, but I think that this series gave enough good laughs for it to be worthy to watch by someone who hasn't seen it before.
