Please don't go and see this film, i enjoyed the first and second but this one is shite. It borrows so many scenes from other films its unbelievable. Personally IMHO Seth green is probably the funniest.
also
I just seen Training Day and that film is a classic forget Denzel and the oscar, Ethan Hawke was as good if not better than Denzel but the oscars love a bad guy.

isn't the point of austin powers that it borrows scenes from other spy movies in order to parody them?

I totally agree on the triaing day stuff....... but the whole point of austin powers is that it is a spoof. Of course its going to borrow stuff from other films.....

I was considering going to see it, but I've only seen the first one. I don't think I'll bother.

no it was originally called Goldmember but the owners of James Bond were a bit pissed off because it sounds too much like one of their films. They later developed a sense of humor and let it go.

I thik you will find that after a legnthy debate they agreed to let the film be called Goldmember after an agreement was made that New Line show MGM trailers before their films.

sequels are never as good, its because you dont go into the first one with any such expectations as you do with the others.

danny devito is the best part.

Agreed, The Danny devito cameo was the best of the cameos, but yet again the Osbornes get paid $$$$ to do f'all

See junior, i was merely giving my opinion on the film, this is a messageboard for gods sake.......aren't you supposed to air your opinions here? In my opinion Austin Powers isn't funny anymore its just tired, i enjoyed the opening cameos and the fact that the operation was called preperation H was amusing but apart from that i thought the film was shite.
Don't get me wrong im no film critic but even in the Austin Powers trailers now people are saying "It was a laugh a minute"...."it was soooo funny"......"i was glued to my seat"
I must admit though i was glued to my seat..............otherwise i would have left
