i know alot of people love this movie and find it hilarious. I see where they are coming from, but i need to express why i find this movie awful in so many different ways. Please dont take a dumb comment to my opinion, im not saying your taste is bad. im saying i think the movie is bad. anyway here goes:
My Review on Goldmember
i saw this movie in theaters because all my friends wanted to see it and because i loved the 1st one and the 2nd one was good for a sequal. When watching it, everyone around me was laughing their butt off. It was a packed theater and it seemed like everyone around me was enjoying themselves. exept me. i wanted to walk out of the theater a few times. I loved way the movie started off, but soon i got bored and annoyed.
the movie killed its orginal.This one wasnt groovy. Everything about Austin Powers was a joke in this one. I thought i was in the wrong theater.
Beyonce Knowles did a great acting job but in this one, her character seemed to be cut short. She didnt really have a relationship with Austin at all. There was no chemsty. I dont blame her acting, i blame the script. Beyonce is a very good actress, but in this movie, she seemed out of place from the 1st and 2nd movie.
Mike Myers is an excellent actor. and i feel that his acting abilty was very good in this movie. I blame how it was written. not the acting.
Mini Me was a funny character. He was great in the 2nd movie and probably one of the better parts of the movie in goldmember.
Seth Green aka Scott Green was pretty good in this movie. I thought that some of his jokes were better than alot of the movie, but i didnt really understand the whole evil thing. I felt there wasnt a point to go on. I would've rather see him like i did in the 1st two movies.
Dr.Evil i felt was pretty good in the beginning. I felt that his rap was a little much but ok. I thought that he wasnt as good as the first 2. He was more of a joke in this one. or maybe he was more serious in this one.. i dunno, something was missing.
I'm glad to see Fat Bastard wasnt in this one as much. He was only there for about 2-3 scenes. I dont think i couldve sat thru the whole movie with him in every other scene. I didnt mind him in this one. I guess less of Fat Bastard is better.
Goldmember on the other hand, was horrible. His character was annoying. I dont really understand how he was suppose to be any where near funny. I know how a person eating their own skin can be hilarous..or NOT! i felt he was just there to throw jokes in. The plot was there but a little unclear. I understand the plot, Goldmember didnt really have too much to do with it. He kidnapped Austins Father & had this gold metor? i dunno maybe im confused.
Nigel Powers didnt really add any inpact to the movie. I guess he was there for plot reasons. He didnt really try to be too funny, which is more than i can say for the rest of the cast. He didnt bother me, but he didnt really do much for the movie itself.
The Mole. The guy with the mole was probably the only part i think i liked. I thought it was over done, but it was still funny. I that was the only truely postive thing i can say about the movie and still... thats just sad.
The rest i posted my review up months after its release is because i wanted to rent it and watch it again to see if i missed anything... and i did.... 2 hours of my life i want back.
I just find that this wasnt humor. I would recommd seeing the 1st one... and even the 2nd one, but this one is so off base i dont think i would ever sit thru it again. I've seen funnier World War 2 movies.
but hey thats just my view of it. if u have a comment, feel free to let me know. I actually wanna hear what you think of the movie.
