Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

adonis98-743-186503 A 1960s hipster secret agent is brought out of cryofreeze to oppose his greatest enemy in the 1990s, where his social attitudes are glaringly out of place. This is definitely a film that unfortunately hasn't aged that well i'm afraid but still packs some good fun and jokes and makes it completely safe. Mike Myers is pretty good as both Powers and Dr. Evil although it's one of my less favorite Spy spoof series. The action is pretty good, some cameos are alright and the humor was kind of a hit and miss depending on what you like really. But as a movie? it's pretty good and watchable for sure. (7.5/10)

RbDeraj Goofy, cheesy, and corny, but what did you expect? A lot of it was made up of dumb unsophisticated juvenile humor, but it was still funny enough to keep me entertained and interested. Some of it got a little old like turning every word into a sexual reference or making certain scenes too drawn out. It was also fun to see secondary characters being played by unknowns at the time like Will Ferrel, Brian George, and Seth Green. The appearance of the movie was also stylish, aesthetically pleasing and of course groovy. The most enjoyable part of the film was the spoof-like nature of it. It made fun of spy shows from the 60's and parodied (my favorite part) the beginning James Bond movies by including situations, lines, and similar characters straight from those overrated classics.

bowmanblue Looking back on it, it was amazing that no one thought of completely lampooning those old Sean Connery Bond films until 1997. They were pretty over-the-top, but I guess that's what we loved about them. And, I dare say that the writer/star of 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,' - Mike Myers - loves them as much as the rest of us. For he gives us a most loving take on the unspoken absurdities that we deliberately chose to overlook in the Bond films. He plays both hero and villain here as a swinging spy, frozen in the sixties and defrosted in the - rather more politically correct - nineties to do battle with the (Blofeld-like) Dr Evil.Despite being an American production, it has a very British feel to it. Everything is made fun of, but you never feel like they're being particularly cruel - it's all quite 'loving mockery' (if you know what I mean). It's not just a string of naughty jokes, but it also does go a little deeper in highlighting the change in attitudes from the 'free love' of the sixties to the more reserved nineties.There's nothing here that's particularly clever, just a stream of innuendos which seem like they've been taken straight out of the original Carry On films. But, if you're in the mood for some general silliness (and have a healthy knowledge of the old Bond films), you should enjoy the crazy ride and find you're spouting the several Powers/Evil catchphrases for some time to come.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Mr.Film Reviews Austin Powers has the rare distinction of being a spoof film that is also original. Mike Myers stars as Groovy British spy Austin Powers. Who is cryogenically frozen in 1969 to do battle with the evil Blofeld Lookalike Dr.Evil (Also Myers). Austin is thawed out in 1997 to a very different world where Swingers are all but extinct. He is partnered up with the daughter of his original partner Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) to do battle with Dr.Evil and his hilarious Minions like Number 2 (Robert Wagner) and Frau Farbissina.Perfect film for James Bond fans; packed with lots of references to James Bond and the Spy Genre whilst also being able to be original. It has lots of quotable quotes like "Groovy". It also features parodies of Iconic James Bond scenes and great 60's costumes and locations. Great film and would highly recommend it- 10/10
