 I LOVE Austin Powers---the first one, anyway. I read some where that fans were upset there wasn't enough merchandise generated from the first movie. Seems the only reason this one was released was to pack stores with Austin and Dr. Evil dolls. All of the best parts of this movie were shown as previews...DAMN IT. Heather Graham can be the new American Sweetheart because of her flawless appearance, but she can not act.Let's face it, if you can't pull off a cheese part in a movie like this, hang it up. She should just get naked for Playboy or something and leave acting to someone who CAN. She was the defining point of failure in this movie, along with a plot that, even for an Austin movie, just sucked. There's a lot of retro flashy color, and Mike Meyers is still lovable. Zapped back to the past his teeth are nasty again, and his tripple role as Austin, Dr. Evil and the new (and disgusting!!) Fat Bastard bring to mind memories of Eddie Murphy doing the same "How-many-characters-can-I-play" game in Coming to America. YO MIKE---stop now! Before you end up in the same recycling bin as the rest of the Saturday Night Live cast that got a little too full on the "Love me, I'm funny" feast!! I hate to burst the bubble of Austin Powers fans, but if MY bubble's gettin' popped, so is everyone else's. This movie was a let down.... About the author: ....tired of people who THINK they sound like Mike Meyers walking around saying "Yeah, Baby Yeah"...KNOCK IT OFF!! ha ha ha You may read another review, submit your own, or return home. |
