What did you think of the Austin Powers movies?

*CyberCubed* · 05-02-2016, 07:42 PM

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.

*Powder* · 05-02-2016, 08:46 PM

Can not f**king stand them.

*Autbot_Benz* · 05-02-2016, 08:48 PM

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

*JTH* · 05-02-2016, 09:24 PM

The first is a classic.

The second is okay.

I pretend the third doesn't exist.

The only things I remember from these movies are the gags with Mini-me's shadow behind the white curtain and Beyonce's abs.

They don't really hold up that well, IMHO. Other films that have come out in recent years lampoon the spy genre in more interesting ways.

Like Die Another Day, for instance

I loved Die Another Day. Much more fun than the first couple of Craig bores, to me.

I wouldn't mind seeing an Austin Powers 4, really. Myers has had more than ample time to come up with something worthwhile since the last one, and age/the time that's passed could be used to good effect.

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

*CyberCubed* · 05-03-2016, 12:34 PM

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.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-03-2016, 01:06 PM

I enjoy them quite a bit.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-03-2016, 01:11 PM

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 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.
