Movie Reviews of Austin Powers in Goldmember

Movie Review: Funny, but
Summary: 5 Stars

THE STORY:

Austin travels through time and around the globe searching for his missing father, Nigel while finding a new sexy sidekick, Foxy Cleopatra (Destiny's Child's Beyonce Knowles) and taking on the usual horde of bad guys (Dr. Evil, Mini-Me, Fat Bastard and new villain, gilded gross-out Dutchman Goldmember).

THE COOL THINGS:

If there's one thing you can say about the movie it is that it is "formulaic." It contains all the classic Austin "features" ie - sexual double entendres, sexually suggestive fancy editing, humorous editing, funny "shadow shows," funny Dr. Evil soliloquies, star-studded cameos (even more than ever in this one!!!) etc. In all, it's what you'd expect from a Powers movie and it works. It's just as funny (if not more so) than the previous installments.

THE CRITICISM:

While the film is just as funny than previous installments, some may criticize though that some of it may be getting old, which in some parts it does feel that way (ie - the edited scene where they spew out several synonyms for a "taboo" word). Also, this film is definitely a departure from previous outings as the plot definitely does reveal a pretty shocking revelation about everyone's favorite "Evil" genius. (Think Star Wars). Like I mentioned earlier, you definitely need to wonder where this series is headed in future installments. Also, the Goldmember character to me is just worthless. While somewhat funny (Myer's is an AWESOME performer to nail down soooo many diverse roles) the character is more gross than anything else and I for one could've done without him...

In all though, fans and movie lovers alike should be pleased and rolling around happily during this flick.

BEST SCENES:

1. The jailhouse music video (which you've probably seen all over E!, the Internet, Entertainment Tonight, etc.

2. Fun with subtitles.

3. The Japanese building fight scene

4. Fun with shadows

THE VERDICT:

Overall, if you are an Austin fan or if you are in need of a really good laugh, you can't go wrong with "Austin Powers in Goldmember."

Highly Recommended
