taisbaumannv 7/10 Acting -This movie is supposed to see like a really good genre of comedy. Which the acting fits perfect into. The actors make the comedy so fun, and extremely golden! Also amazing that Mike Myers plays 3 roles in this movie!6/10 Plot - The plot is a bit weird, childish plot. Dr.Evil wants to destroy the world. But that also what makes this movie funny. Can't tell the plot without a spoil for the other movies. But it's a hell of a good one.9/10 Characters - The characters in this movie is so amazing, we have so many different characters with a whole different personality. Accents for different characters, and a funny way to show off each character. All Mike Myers characters is really different, so really well made!5/10 Effects - Remember! It's an old movie. But it is good effects for such an old movie. Some of the effects is also used for a funny side of angle. Which makes this movie perfect!
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
garymundy21 Having recently revisited the Austin Powers franchise, it was abundantly clear within 10 minutes that this 3rd offering was not up to par. In fact, I would go as far as to say this instalment was a mistake by all involved.Here are some reasons that stand out: 1) Poorly recycled jokes from the previous films at nearly every opportunity. I get they were trying to tie them together in an attempt to make it funny, but it just highlighted how they had run out of good ideas.2) The Fat Bastard cameos were neither welcome nor warranted. The character was best left as he was and the attempts to 'humanise' him fell flat. The film did not need him.3) Goldmember was not a good new character.Poorly thought out.4) The 'mole' incident was excruciating and went on too long, and shouldn't have happened multiple times! 5) Mini Me changing sides, and dressing up as Austin was rather annoying.6) They ran out of ideas for Scott Evil and so by making him evil ruined his character. The lasting image of him doing 'the laugh' sums this up.7) The 70'sish scenes were too over the top, even for a film like this, and didn't feel as believable or as fun as the 60's from the first films.8) I know that these films were never meant to be plot driven, but the previous two flowed better and were not just about the gags. This 1 felt like it ditched the story somewhat to focus on an all out assault.9) The 'Just the Two of Us' scene from 'The Spy Who Shagged Me' was fun and surprising, and felt natural. The follow up here of 'Hard Knock Life' was exactly the opposite, considering they were in a prison. It felt forced and was overly annoying.10) Beyonce's character added little to the film beyond adding clichéd 70'sness.11) Michael Caine?! Michael Caine as Austin's dad was pointless and didn't need to be there. His character was completely unnecessary.12) The cameos were far too excessive and only to show off who they could fit into the film. They didn't fit nicely with the film.13) The 'Silence of The Lambs' parody was AWFUL! Rant over! At least I had more fun writing that than I did watching this film.I heard there was talks of a 4th film but this may or may not ever happen. If it did I still have enough respect for the franchise to check it out. However, this was a complete mess, and if it was anything like this then it will be ruined forever.
