Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A Major Disappointment

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

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

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

Austin Powers in Goldmember is a great movie with a with a well developed plot line, a top notch cast and, of course, fantastic characters. There is absolutely no denying that it is ridiculous fun from start to finish, jam packed with hilarious sequences, terrific cameos and stellar one liners throughout. This is a franchise that I think is difficult to get wrong as long as the cast are having fun with it. I will admit, however, that it is weaker than the previous two as a result of a little too much repetition. It plays up a lot of what worked in the other movies, to the degree of repeating entire jokes that we have already seen before. I just felt that it should have let itself be its own movie a little bit more. The cast is as good as ever, Mike Myers shines in the four roles he now plays in this movie, and his versatility as a comedic actor is no question. As well as several returning members, we have delightful new additions, such as Beyoncé Knowles as Austin's love interest Foxxy Cleopatra, and the great Michael Caine as his father Nigel Powers. They both manage to fit themselves in to this bizarre universe effortlessly. It is side splitting hilarity from start to finish. Great fun with a top notch comedic cast, I would recommend Austin Powers in Goldmember to anyone looking for a good comedy. In order to save his father, Austin must travel back to the 70's and defeat the evil Goldmember, who has teamed up with his arch nemesis Dr Evil. Best Performance: Mike Myers

Dr. Evil and MiniMe escape from prison and team up with Goldmember to flood the world by using a tractor beam to pull a meteor down to melt the polar ice cap. Goldmember has kidnapped Austin's father Nigel Powers (Michael Caine). Meanwhile Austin also travels back in time to 1975 to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember.Michael Caine is a great addition. Beyoncé Knowles is not as good. The problem I have is Goldmember. He's very creepy, very weird, and not very funny. Fat Bastard does return and he's the good kind of weirdly funny as oppose to Goldmember. Mike Myers continues to add new interesting originality to this franchise. I just wish he could rewrite Goldmember or maybe just skip him altogether. And it's great to see MiniMe get a good important side story.
