Summary: An 11 year old child
Review: I really liked this movie, however it was the worst in the series. Why? Two words fat bastered. It was not funny after he just chased Mini Me and said, "I wanna eat you." Plus, the seen with Felisity Shagwell was Groutest.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Review: Austin Powers 2 was pretty good. I thought it was funny and there was a lot more action and also the introduction to some new characters to the Austin Powers series.

After stopping Dr. Evil from liquidating the Earth with Magma, Dr. Evil goes back in time to 1967 (when Powers was still in cryostasis) and steals his MOJO! Without his mojo, Powers is left powerless. Meanwhile, Dr. Evil is drawing his next plan, the Alan Parsons Project! Using his space station, "The Death Star", he will shoot a "laser" at the Earth destroying the world one major city at a time.

Powers then follows Dr. Evil back to 1969 to get his mojo back and to stop Dr. Evil from destroying the world. Along with special agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham), they leap into action to stop Dr Evil at all cause. Also in this one, 2 new characters to the Powers series, Mini-Me (Vern Troyer) is an exact clone of Dr Evil that is 1/8 his size. Another new character is Scottish Mercenary Fat Bastard (also played by Myers).

All in all, another great installment of the Powers series that's a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and a lot of action. Expect some of the similar physical comedy from the first and also a lot of just totally out there laughs. I will admit I took off a star for 2 reasons. Fat Bastard starts out really funny at first and then he just gets gross and nasty. The other reason was that Heather Graham is really only eye candy in this movie and don't expect much more than that. Also, do not compare Heather Graham's character against Elizabeth Hurley's character because Graham easily loses to that. Just take Graham's character as it is. Other than that, a very enjoyable movie, a lot of laughs and a great sequel. Check this one out!

Summary: Not Too Shaggy.......
Review: Mike Myers has managed to reprise his comic genius of the original "International Man of Mystery" debut, with a new plot twist, and a new leading lady...............In this sequel, Myers is joined by the lovely Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell, and she DOES...but that's not the point, or maybe it is? Anyway, this time Myers as Austin Powers has had his "Mojo", or special manly aura that women find so appealing, stolen by arch villain and enemy Doctor Evil, also played by Myers with far less hair. Dr. Evil has a plan to destroy Washington DC, which is eerie in retrospect of 9/11. This really makes you wonder if this film gave anyone an "evildoers" idea? Austin must go back to 1969 to stop Dr. Evil, and get back his mojo for his cryogenically frozen self. With Felicity at his side, will he succeed? It's definitely worth a look to find out. ............. I saw this after the "Goldmember" edition to what has become a trilogy of humor. I personally think that "Goldmember" is far funnier and "feels better on a (w)hole", as in the Preparation H jokes of the latter film. This film is somewhat less comically inspired genius, and just mostly silly and lacking when you really compare. One of the few highlights here are the introduction of "Fat Bastard" the incredibly repulsive third Myers alter-ego. If you like bathroom humor, you will LOVE this character. It really seems that you can actually smell him on-screen. Rob Lowe plays #2, a young 1969 Robert Wagner named with more of the same humor from the [unclean] realm, which I happen to enjoy, it's funny! Rob however is not. He drones his lines in a monotonous way that adds nothing whatsoever to the film. Of course Heather Graham is the eye candy for the male audience here, but as a woman, I go strictly for the laughs. These come best and in abundance in the form of a scene where Austin and Felicity are examining several things while in a tent. The tent light casts a sillouette to the outside, that makes it look as if several items are being removed from Austins rear end by Felicity as he bends over a map. A long string ending in an umbrella that pops open, followed by smoke, a gerbil, popping a bottle open with his behind, and it goes on hilariously. Of course several people are watching aghast and waiting to [give]them disgust. A definite laugh out loud comic highpoint in an otherwise good, but not great, Austin outing. ............... If you like the characters and the special brand of humor of this series, then by all means you should see this, and probably own it as well. However, the subsequent "Goldmember" is far superior, on a (w)hole?

Summary: Not Too Shaggy.......
Review: Mike Myers has managed to reprise his comic stupidity of the original "International Man of Mystery" debut, but in a marginally superior way, with a new plot twist, and a new leading lady...............In this sequel, Myers is joined by the lovely Heather Graham as "Felicity Shagwell", and DOES she...who knows or cares, that's not the point, or maybe it is? Anyway, this time Myers as Austin Powers has had his "Mojo", or special manly aura that women find so appealing, stolen by arch villain and enemy Doctor Evil, also played by Myers with far less hair. Dr. Evil has a plan to destroy Washington DC, which is eerie in retrospect of 9/11. This really makes you wonder if this film gave anyone an "evildoers" idea? Austin must go back to 1969 to stop Dr. Evil, and get back his mojo for his cryogenically frozen self. With Felicity at his side, will he succeed? It's definitely worth a look to find out at least once. ............. I saw this after the "Goldmember" edition to what has become a trilogy of over the top bedroom and bathroom humor. I personally think that "Goldmember" is far funnier and "feels better on a (w)hole", as in the Preparation H jokes of the latter film. This film is somewhat less comically inspired genius, yet far better than the first and definitely WORST of the three. This second outing is mostly silly and of course, tasteless. It is lacking much interest when you really compare to the more recent "Goldmember". One of the few highlights or actually "Lowlights" here is the introduction of "Fat Bastard" the incredibly repulsive third Myers alter-ego. If you like bathroom humor, you will LOVE this character. It really seems that you can actually smell him on-screen. Rob Lowe plays #2, a young 1969 Robert Wagner named with more of the same humor from the toilet realm, which is funny. Rob however is not. He drones his lines in a monotonous way that adds nothing whatsoever to the film. His role is dispensible to be kind. Meanwhile that is preferable to the horror of the "Rapping Dr. Evil" sequence with mini-me as his back-up. It would have been far better to leave these sequences on the editing room floor. Of course Heather Graham is the eye candy for the male audience here, but as a woman, I go strictly for the laughs. These come best and in abundance in the form of a scene where Austin and Felicity are examining several things while in a tent. The tent light casts a sillouette to the outside, that makes it look as if several items are being removed from Austins rear end by Felicity as he bends over a map. A long string ending in an umbrella that pops open, followed by smoke, a gerbil, popping a bottle open with his behind, and it goes on hilariously. Of course several people are watching aghast and waiting to ambush them in disgust. A definite laugh out loud comic highpoint in an otherwise passable, like the many windy references, but not great, Austin outing. ............... If you like the characters and the special brand of humor of this series, then by all means you should see this. However, the subsequent "Goldmember" is far superior, on a (w)hole?

Summary: Bump Bump Bump
Review:

Anyway, Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me is very funny. I found many more laughs here than in the first film.

So, in conclusion, HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY HOSE? GET OFF OF THAT BEFORE I GET CHAINSAW

Summary: Not as good as first....still good.
Review: Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged me is not as good as International Man of Mystery for more than one reason, the first is Minny Me because all he says is me,me and after a while that gets anoying and another charecter that gets anoying is Fat Basterd, the fat, Scotish hitman also played by Mike Myers who through out the whole movie is trying to eat Miny Me and doing missions for Dr.Evil.Out of all 3 charecters Mike Myers plays in this movie (Austin Powers, Dr.Evil and Fat Baserd)he plays them all well.I know this review is short but I also hope it helps you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dreadful.
Review: Having enjoyed Mike Myers’ previous work (Wayne’s World and Saturday Night Live) my expectations of a 60s bond spoof were fairly high. It became plain after the first minute that this was an exercise in how to be as puerile and unfunny as possible. I swit ched off after ten minutes. I watched it the other day a second time to see whether I had been unfair the first time. I switched it off after ten minutes. I find it hard to believe how even a twelve year-old boy could find this funny. The dialogue is an e mbarrassment, Myers is painful to watch (as is Heather Graham) and the succession of characters including Fat Bastard makes matters even worse. Apart from the mildly amusing title and the psychadelic set design this is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I personally recommend you avoid this like the plague, though several friends of mine enjoyed it (maybe they were blindfolded at the time).º

Summary: More Powers To Ya!
Review: This is the second of three Austin Powers movies that have been released. It's basically a parody of the James Bond and Our Man Flint movies. If you've seen either or both of the other Powers movies, you know the storyline to this one: Austin (Mike Myers) is a secret agent (!) working to rid the world of its megalomaniacal nemesis Dr. Evil (Myers), who has various bizzare world domination machinations and is aided by Bond-style gizmos, a round table of dopey assistants, and other evil-doing secret agents (also Myers). Just think of a simple-minded Bond storyline and throw in '60s slang, haute couture, and bad teeth, with a heaping helping of potty jokes and double entendres, and a cast with the looks of the United Nations of Circus Freaks (with the thankful exception of the sexy female secret agents Powers partners with).

Without the babes (Heather Graham, here--is it me, or do those eyes make her look like a doll? She makes me randy, baby. Yeah!... Oh, and there's a way-too-brief cameo by Rebecca Romijn-Stamos in this one.) and Dr. Evil's ever-changing schemes, these movies would be totally repetitious. Basically, since there's so little variation in these movies, this review could apply to all.

I recently purchased this and after watching it (and having seen it at the theatre) I noticed how many jokes have been recycled throughout this series. If you've only seen the latest, Goldmember, you've seen many of the same jokes as the first two. Which is not all bad, but it does become somewhat predictable and tedious. Although, each of the movies does have its share of original jokes, many of which are downright hilarious and make the movies worthwhile. Kudos has to be given to Myers for his effort. He's hilarious and has an under-appreciated talent in playing so many distinct characters in the series. The Dr. Evil character, especially, is the one in which the actor disappears. He created the characters and has made a fortune from it.

If you liked the others, you'll like this one. If you haven't seen the others and you like dumb plots, silly costumes and makeup, silly dancing, silly humour, double entendres, and potty jokes, (or if you're a 12 year old boy) you'll like this. Otherwise, get your shags elsewhere.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: You might feel badly when it finishes
Review: This is what happens when someone famous for not wanting to be touched (Mike Myers) makes a movie: it comes from a very dark place (in spite of all the lights and colors). The plot concerns Myer's character fearful that he won't be loved, because he doesn't have his 'mojo'. Another character, 'Fat Bastard' is a grotesquely obese/ugly person who is loved by a beautiful woman. You get the sense someone very insecure is fascinated by this. It begins by having Power's girlfriend of the first film turn into a robot attempting to kill him, spoofing how 007 always would ditch the last romantic interest for a new one. In the end, the woman who stands up in a crowd plays on fears about shallow people's reasons for marriage. Dr. Evil is played as ironically a loving person - for a joke (naturally, he's being pushed away as well). In short, these films aren't suited for kids or adults, and they can be very uncomfortable to watch. It seems pre-occupied with looks, weight and height. 'Goldmember', it's sequel, is the same way, scenes include a midget who is loved in spite of physicality, for physicality by a predatory young woman famous for claiming to be a virgin in real-life. Fat Bastard has one interesting and powerful statement per film and that is interesting -jarring, actually. A.Power's father shows up (who showed up only after Myer's own father passed away) who he laments in a light-hearted song 'was never there'. It's not funny in a difficult, clever or unique way... I'm not sure how much of this was a conscious effort but it's stupid, vulgar, bleakly sarcastic and cynical about all things, especially love and affection.
