But not far from the

The third installment in the series of super-spy spoofs, it's handcuffed by the ever-increasing load of baggage it carries.

I think this is the funniest of the three movies and I liked the first two.

The Powers team has fashioned a comedy with more laughs than many, no question. But this time there's some mold on the gold.

What more could one want from a third Austin Powers movie that you didn't get from two? With only so much Bond baiting to be done, Mike Myers trains his soft satire on himself for something that feels somewhat self-loathing, but still riotously funny.

Mike Myers' crew of comic characters manage to make their third big-screen outing a fairly shagadelic experience.

Myers and Roach are running dangerously close to empty as far as new and genuinely funny ideas, and they would be best off quitting before they fall any farther behind.

The first five minutes of this film rate as perhaps the best film opening ever... they're worth the price of admission alone, and so we need say no more.

Perhaps not as original as the first two movies, Goldmember is still fun and funny.

The worst part about this film is that it is becoming just like any other modern parody: it claims to parody a specific series or franchise, but it ultimately fails to do so because it wastes too much time poking fun at pop culture. The film�(TM)s title is a spoof of the James Bond film title GOLDFINGER, as goes the
