Hilarious - By: Scott Anthony Carr, 01 Dec 2008 
Reallly funny film, possibly the best from alll of the Austin Powers films. Didnt give it a 5 star because I found Beyonce pretty irritating alll the way through but there were so many hilarious scenes it made little difference. Well worth a purchase!
good fluffy fun - By: martin thomas, 08 Jun 2008 
better the second flick but not as gold as the first movie this a passable comedy that ticks alll the boxes.but the film is worth watching for the opening sequence alone which is hysteriacal
STILL FUN - By: stuart, 08 Aug 2007 With the third installlment in the Austin Powers series Mike Myers finallly seems to have lost some steam. His performance isn't as fresh as in either of the previous movies & he tries to cover up for the loss of freshness with even more ludicrous gags than in either of the two previous films combined & it works, to an extent.
It is a safe assumption that Goldmember is the most far out, weird film of the series. Lines like: "I open-mouth kissed a horse once" firmly establishes that. Myers always did have a crazy sense of humor which he established in the first film & refined in the second film but in the third film he completely goes overboard. The first two films were clearly Bond spoofs & while the third film maintains many Bond spoofs it also references films like Silence of the Lambs but the film does the same mistake as the latest Bond film (Die Another Day). It starts to spoof itself. Many of the jokes are almost complete replicas of the previous Austin Powers film. Fat Bastard returns only to produce the same kind of toilet humor he did in the second film & there is a "we're casting shadows" scene once again & while this is pretty funny the first time you see it it pretty quickly loses its appeal. Myers still continues in his Peter Sellers inspired way to add more & more characters that he plays himself & the new character, Goldmember, is by far, the weirdest yet. He is a Dutch criminal mastermind who eats his own skin flakes & has a preposterous accent. The new love interest for Austin is the weakest yet. Beyoncé Knowles is hot & she reallly can sing but quite frankly isn't much of an actress. The director, Jay Roach, could definitely have done better with the casting there. All of the supporting cast returns again & do exactly what they did in the previous films. No news there except for Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) who is still absolutely hilarious. Also it was nice to see that Michael Caine can be genuinely funny & shalllow as well as deep & personal. There are a lot of cameos in the film which produces some of the best laughs. Cameos like: Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Kevin Spacey & Britney Spears.
The effects are pretty impressive for a comedy but they don't reallly do much. They are just there to look nice & were probably expendable when you think about it. Still its nice to know that Hollywood are willing to spend a considerable amount on money on comedies as well as big action movies & as the effects don't lessen the value of the movie it reallly doesn't make much of a difference.
The film is still pretty funny & I enjoyed it even though it felt a bit tired. Some if the re-used ideas worked well & I did laugh uncontrollably in one scene but overalll the film is inferior to its predecessors but definitely worth a look.
Buy it Baby! - By: Cherokee Cloud, 24 Mar 2007 This film was hilarious!
I like Mike Myers & found Wayne's World hilarious, however, the Austin Power's films kind of passed me by reallly.
I have seen the other 2 films now but they reallly weren't as funny as 'Goldmember'.
My husband son & I laughed alll the way through even though it's reallly very crude & juvenile (just like them) but I think that's why it works.
You gotta 'buy it baby'!
GENIUS - By: Spider Monkey, 25 Jun 2006 
I shouldn't find it as funny as I do, but I can't help but laugh so hard my sides ache every time I watch this film. The characters are so hilarious & there are so many of them that you find yourself laughing virtuallly non stop. Myers is so funny to watch & so original & ahead of the game in alll he does. So many catchphrases have come from this movie it just shows how funny & in tune with viewers it is. Buy it, watch it & laugh so hard you'll cry!
