PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

OllieSuave-007 Comedian Mike Myers stars as a 1960s hipster secret agent, who was cryonically frozen and released in the 1990's in order to battle his evil nemesis, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers). His goofy and flashy personality was out of place for the 1990s, but he seemed to hit it off with his partner-in-crime, Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley).The plot of Dr. Evil and his mad plan of holding the world hostage was, unfortunately, not emphasized enough in the film, which made the story less intriguing. Much of the movie was centered toward Austin Powers trying to woo Vanessa, which resulted in goofy but boring chemistry and an awkward attempt at romance.The movie was an obvious spoof to James Bond, but it wasn't tastefully done - there was no suspense. The "hero" of the film, Austin Powers, didn't really do anything in the movie except showing off his awfully hairy chest and cheap moves on Vanessa; at least the Naked Gun movies delivered laugh-out-loud humor and actually had solid good guy vs. bad guy plot devices and action. What you got here were just obvious sexual innuendos, crude jokes, and adolescent stuff.You will get some chuckles here and there on some of the slapstick puns, but the movie is mostly boring, juvenile and low-humored which as a result, in my opinion, makes it overrated.Grade D--

FilmBuff1994 Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a brilliant movie with a very well written storyline and a fantastic comedic cast. It is certainly one of my favourite feel good comedies, it instantly makes me smile and puts me in a good mood every time I watch, it has many memorable quotes and strange, unrelatable, but very lovable characters. The only scenes that bother me in this movie is when they go way too far with a joke, such as the scene where Austin is urinating or the death of one of Dr. Evil's henchman, it dosen't suit the tone of humour that we see in the majority of the film and is more so annoying than funny. The performances are outstanding, they seemed very hard to do as they are very high energy and it seems as if the whole cast didn't deliver, the entire movie would stumble, but luckily they all did very well, Mike Myers is the highlight of the film of course, playing both the protagonist and the antagonist, he shines in both roles and it is very hard to believe that Austin Powers and Dr. Evil are the same person, they are simply iconic performances. Hilarious from start to finish with memorable quotes and lovable characters, I would recommend Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery to anyone looking for a good comedy. Special agent Austin Powers is defrosted after 30 years in a cryogenic freeze to match wits with his nemesis, Dr. Evil. Best Performance: Mike Myers Worst Performance: Paul Dillon

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.

Troy Putland Mike Myers is the chalk to your cheese, the salt to your sweet. He can improve a mix, or outright destroy it. He's exploited James Bond's core attributes, ruining the stereotypes and the clichés we've grown use to, and come up with not one, but two egotistical maniacs that allow him to rein free and pretty much do as he pleases. The humour falls in to the slapstick category, and sometimes it scrapes the bottom of the comedy gene pool. It's clearly not for everyone. For every comedy gold there's a rusty, wooden pun. Austin Powers (Myers) is an English secret agent from the 60's whose charm, wit and stupidity gets him along in life. His evil nemesis, the aptly named Dr. Evil (also Myers), freezes himself in space and reappears 30 years later in the 90's. Powers follows in pursuit to once and for all bring Dr. Evil down. This crazy plot works because both hero and villain are out of their depth after missing so much from the last 3 decades. Dr. Evil threatens to destroy the world unless he receives $1m from the United Nations, and Austin realises he cannot sow his seed like he use to, thanks to a strong willed, sexy Elizabeth Hurley. If you can't stomach International Man of Mystery's first 5 minutes, don't bother with the rest. If you're a die-hard Bond fan, stay clear; Myers has duplicated Blofeld to shocking effect.Check out my other reviews on http://straighttelling.co.uk
