I saw the first two movies when I was a young teen and the third a few years ago. As such these were my kind of movies, naturally.

What did you think?

Some of the best comedy movies by far. Shame we havent gotten a 4th, yet.

Can not f**king stand them.

The First 2 were fantastic Goldmember was ok. Would love a Dr. Evil centered movie.

The first is a classic.

The second is okay.

I pretend the third doesn't exist.

I never thought they were the greatest things ever like most people did when Austin Powers 2 came out but they were fun for their time. Counting the third wasn't as well received and Mike Myers gave us so much unfunny crap with a similar style in the mid 00's that killed his career I don't see us getting a sequel anytime soon but the franchise is definitely big enough that once 00's nostalgia hits in a few years after we're done with the 90s wave we'll definitely see a sequel along the likes of the Matrix and other early 00 movies.

Love 1 and 2. Goldmember is alright. I'm a pretty big bond fan as well so that ups the enjoyment of them. They're dumb fun, like Ace Ventura.

A 4th one would probably be roasted alive in this post-SJW age.

Also Mike Myers is too old now to pull off the character. It would probably be a reboot if they made another one with some new actor nobody wants.

I enjoy them quite a bit.

As a kid? I mostly enjoyed/was slightly bored with the first Austin Powers. I LOVED the second one. I HATED the third one, found it painfully unfunny.

If I were to rewatch them now I suspect I would appreciate and enjoy the first one a great deal more, and not like 2 or 3 at all.

I only watched them because I saw Michael York was in them, and that was several years ago. During that time, I was trying to watch as many Michael York movies as I could get my hands on (even those I regretted. Curse you, La Femme Musketeer!!!), and the Austin Powers movies were a few of them. Since the Austin Power's style of humor is not my cup of tea, York's straightman comedy was my saving grace. The villain squad was also a little more interesting than Austin himself.

They've all aged horribly in my opinion, as most comedies eventually do.

3 was never funny, though. So that hasn't changed.

Even after like 14 years, I still can't go more than about five minutes without cracking while watching Goldmember. I really don't find the first two very funny any more though.

I've only seen the first one. Can't say I've found it to be very funny.

They're parodies of James Bond films. You probably wouldn't get the humor unless you were into spy movies in general.

Ehhh, I wouldn't say that. I've never been into Bond or spy movies and I still found the first two Austin Powers flicks funny at the time.

Like for everyone else here, the first two were pretty good back in the day, but I haven't seen them in ages and not sure if I even want to.

Is it sad that I enjoy them more than I do the James Bond movies, which I don't enjoy at all?

I miss comedies like this or Dumb and Dumber or Wayne's World. Most stuff recently is just Seth Rogan DUDE WEED LMAO flicks or Adam Sandler sh*t.

Some good post 2005 comedies I enjoyed were
-Hot Fuzz
-The Other Guys
-Borat
-Harold and Kumar is pretty funny

Any other recomendations?
