SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

adonis98-743-186503 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 Powers in Goldmember is definitely the worst of the 3 films for sure. I mean it has it's fair share of good moments plus Myers is once again really good as both characters although Goldmember was kind of lame as with alot of other jokes in the film plus some of the cameos weren't that much needed to be honest. Beyonce and Michael Caine were pretty good as well but if you loved the first 2 this one will kinda disappoint you a little bit. (6.1/10)

richardjp-17225 Has some absolutely hilarious moments in this movie, but unfortunately you have to watch the whole thing to find them. A movie which main jokes revolve around part of the male anatomy is pretty much a waste of time apart from a few scenes.

BA_Harrison Goldmember, the third film in the Austin Powers trilogy, is another hugely satisfying helping of abject silliness guaranteed to please fans of the previous two movies. The film opens in grand style with a star-studded, action-packed sequence in which Tom Cruise plays Austin Powers in AustinPussy, a Spielberg movie based on the exploits of England's most swingingest spy. Gwyneth Paltrow is Cruise's sexy sidekick, Dixie Normous, Kevin Spacey is Dr. Evil (no comment) and Danny De Vito plays Mini Me. This is all followed by a groovy musical routine that sees the real Austin Powers (Mike Myers) in a dance off with Britney Spears.After this superb introduction, we follow Austin as he travels back to 1975 to search for his father Nigel (Michael Caine), who has been kidnapped by Dutch criminal Goldmember (Myers again), who is working with Dr. Evil (Myers again again) on a plan to hold the world to ransom. While in the '70s, Austin teams up with the aptly named Foxxy Cleopatra (Beyoncé, who looks amazing, all cleavage and curves), who accompanies Austin to the year 2002, where they encounter Fat Bastard (Myers again again again), and team up with Mini Me (who has defected to the good side) to foil the villains' dastardly scheme.The film is packed to the brim with gags (there's no 'downtime'), most of which are extremely puerile but also hilarious, making the Austin Powers series as a whole one of the most consistently funny cinematic comedy franchises I can think of. I challenge anyone to keep a straight face as Powers hides behind a statue of a peeing cherub, gets distracted by Number Three's huge mole, is covered in sumo wrestlers' 'mawashis' (the belt that goes up their ass-crack), or takes a medical whilst balanced on Mini Me's shoulders. I'm giggling to myself just thinking about it!

Troy Putland Goldmember completes the Austin Powers franchise with little more than a nod to the 1st and 2nd films. The story's recycled again, Dr. Evil (Myers) insists on world domination, Austin Powers (Myers) awkwardly saves the day. It's not rocket science. Myers is up to his usual tricks; Evil garners the most laughs and Powers is, well, Powers. Mini Me gets the discriminated, but they're still just as funny. The 3rd installment sees two new inclusions, Beyonce Knowles's Bond-esque girl Foxxy Cleopatra, who lacks the emotional pull that Heather Graham had, and Michael Caine as Austin Powers' father, Nigel Powers, who fits his role suitably. Myers' Goldmember and the returning Fat Bastard fair less better. Still, Myers carries on doing what he does best, and that's making (most) viewers laugh.Check out my other reviews on http://straighttelling.co.uk
