  Third outing for Powers this time involving the disco era of the 70's and introducing his father with winning results much like 'Indy' did in 'The Last Crusade'. Its Powers, its crazy, its childish, its chock full of sexual innuendo and toilet humour and like the previous two films its part of the best 'Bond' spoof/parody franchise created. We all know what to expect with this and you get exactly what it says on the tin, so to speak. The comedy is as sharp and witty as ever being thick n fast as Myers does his thing with various characters, his new creation of 'Goldmember' being typically dumb but quite amusing, unfortunately we also have to endure his Scottish creation again. There are loads of cameos throughout which do seem a little too much at times I must admit (do we really need to see Spears prancing around and Quincy Jones in a clear pointless ego nod?) but the cast continuity still impresses. The mock intro sequence at the start is a good example of how it can work with Cruise actually looking a dead ringer for the Powers character and sending up his 'M.I.' films perfectly, kudos to Cruise for being able to laugh at himself. The inclusion of Devito and Spacey as 'Dr Evil' and 'Mini me' both hit the nail on the head perfectly also, you could easily do a new film with that cast hehe. The added bonus of Caine playing Powers father is possibly the best bit of casting I've seen for along time, he was born for the role haha. This time the franchise almost turned into a smutty sexual spoof like 'Flesh Gordon' in places, the comedy is definitely a touch risky where as the second film was smarter with more cultural references and the first being more sensible plot wise if that's possible. Anyway its still great fun with 'Dr Evil' being the highlight for me as always, love his rap :) but I can't decide which film is the best, possibly number two.

  The third installment in the series of the sex-crazed British super spy has all the ingredients that made the first two hits: spot-on James Bond parodies, jokes both above and below the belt and a complete lack of political correctness. That is repetitive at times, but still inventive at others and in the majority of scenes simply laugh out loud funny. The new additions to the cast work great, especially Michael Caine as Powers senior, and there are a few hilarious cameos in the opening sequence. A film that makes you want to kick midgets through a room can't be all bad, can it?

  The worst part about this film is that it is becoming just like any other modern parody: it claims to parody a specific series or franchise, but it ultimately fails to do so because it wastes too much time poking fun at pop culture. The filmâ(TM)s title is a spoof of the James Bond film title GOLDFINGER, as goes the same for the two filmsâ(TM) key villains, but aside from that, GOLDMEMBER bears no noticeable resemblance to 007. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to see this as a spy lampoon. This is much, much more like a film, smothered by all of its off-color humor, centered around a kooky, colorful, absurd ladiesâ(TM) man who seemingly spends more time âshaggingâ? than spying. A minute-long cameo appearance by director Steven Spielberg and making a film within a film (âAustin Powers in Austinpussyâ?, starring Tom Cruise in the lead role) does not help to make it a more believable spoof.

  Austin Powers III is a funny film, but it pales so much in comparison to its previous two films that one can't help but feel disappointed after having seen the first two. Mike Myers portraying THREE different characters this time is just too much, and going to the 70s and revisiting the 50s via flashback takes away from Austin's 1960s vibe. The subplot involving Austin's father is a tad ridiculous and "exposing" Austin and Dr. Evil as long lost brothers nearly ruins the legacy of the series.

  Just didn't do it for me, and it somewhat steered off from the direction that the franchise was going in.

  Just a goofy, hilarious movie. It is Scary Movie-esque, but much better. I give Mike Myers a lot of credit for playing 4 roles and making those 4 characters the funniest in the movie.

  Really funny. I, uh, see why you see... sorry, it's late and I feel real strange, but that's exactly how you will feel when you watch this movie. I swear, whoever made the script for this movie, as well as directed it, made effects, and anyone who worked in this film (cast or crew), was really high on drugs. This, however, is a good thing. It's an interesting movie and you won't be bored one bit during it. Hilarious. I loved it allot, you should too. It's the good kind of cheesy, by the way, so don't watch it expecting a Dumb & Dumber like movie.

  Third entry in the Austin Powers franchise is one of the best comedy sequels. I really loved the first two films in the series and I think that every film was great. The Austin Powers trilogy is one of the few trilogies that is great. Every film was terrific. This third film has all the usual trademarks of an Austin Powers film. Mike Myers is as usual very funny in four roles this time around. The film is full of witty dialogue, clever comedy.and of course unforgettable characters. Some of the parts in this film I thought were downright nuts compared to the first two. I thought as far sequels are concerned, especially those in the Comedy genre, Goldmember was a very good third entry. Especially putting in account that most franchises in the genre scrape the bottom of the barrel of ideas in terms of delivering something fresh. Sure this follows the same path as the first two films, but it also manages to drift away from previous entries to be a fine comedy in it's own right. Goldmember is a hilarious film that every Austin Powers fan will love and enjoy. The cast here do a fine job at delivering big laughs and theres plenty of surprises in the film that will make you laugh. A fine third entry thats cleverly written, Goldmember is the perfect example on how to do a perfect third entry to a comedy film. Usually filmmakers are lazy to come up with new and original material, but this is not the case with Goldmember. Theres plenty of new ideas here mixed with the old formula to make this film work well with hilarious results.

  This had some funny jokes but in the end it was very disgusting. It stuck to the series, and Beyonce was as unfunny as the first Austin Powers movie. The story was funny, and Dr. Evil is still my favorite. Some will hate, some will love, as for me, it was okay.

  It's starting to look a bit dated now, and has a tendency to re-cycle the gags from the first two, and has too many song moments. If you're a fan of the first two you will still enjoy it, but it's not as good as the first one. However I loved the cameos in the opening 5… More

If you're a fan of the first two you will still enjoy it, but it's not as good as the first one. However I loved the cameos in the opening 5 mins of the film, great idea.

  Alright, I was proved wrong! After the second film, I thought the series really had nowhere else to go, but Director Jay Roach does it again, making yet another sequel topping the original. The gags are non-stop and the actors are relentless. Austin Powers in Goldmember is rip-roaring fun! From slapstick comedy, to actual gut splitting humour, unlike the others, I can actually watch this quite a bit more. 'The Spy Who Shagged ME' will always be my favourite out of the series, but this film really does the series justice. Even though I cannot see the future of this series progressing any further, I'm sure if they were to try, then can pull off yet another hilarious comedy. The humour is now becoming stale, so they better be careful in the fourth instalment!

  An average chapter in the comical Austin Powers series. Although it suffers from an abundance of dick jokes its definitely clever at times, with Mike Myers showing that he definitely possesses versatility when required. Michael Caine is great as Austin's father and as stupid as the movie is at some parts, you'll definitely catch yourself laughing more than a few times. Plus, it's a tight running time, which is definitely ideal for a comedy.

  The least of the series by far.

  Aside from the hilarious opening with Tom Cruise and Danny DeVito, this is an incredibly bad movie. I think when Mike Myers is playing almost half the cast, it is time to call it quits. It's the same lame jokes from the previous two. It isn't even a James Bond parody anymore, but a sad attempt at making fun of pop culture.
