I was a really big fan of the first Austin Powers. It was good. It was funny. It was clever. I loved it. Then something horrible happened: The Spy Who Shagged Me. That movie was an abomination. It was a cinematic abortion. It ruined the first one. Then they made Goldmember. Here's the story: Austin has to go to the 1970s, where a Dutch guy named Goldmember is holding Austin's father, Nigel. With the help of Foxxy Cleopatra (played quite well, actually, by Beyonce Knowles) and Mini-Me, Austin is able to rescue his father and is reunited with his long-lost brother Dougie.
Every single one of the jokes in this movie has been told before. Each one. It's basically a new platform on which to tell the same old jokes and do the same old gimmicks. It was bad. Very very bad. But it was a little better than The Spy Who Shagged me. At least it tried to be clever. Sort of. In parts.
