I really didn't want to see this, I had never liked Myers. For some reason I let myself get talked into going to the second movie and watching this as prep. Well, it turns out I do like Myers. This is on my list of movies I'd rate an 11 if I could. This has amazing eye candy, great tunes AND to hilarious effect it refuses to behave. This is a must see movie for fans of outrageous silliness. I can still watch this yearly.

This film is absolutely awesome. As it has great acting, a great story, a great comedic feel, as well as awesome performances from Mike Meyers. He plays the characters in this film splendidly. And the story's actually really good. As it's not only funny, but it's just on a good flow throughout the film. Mike Meyers is absolutely fantastic in this film, as he not only plays as the international man of mystery himself, but as Dr. Evil, and it's not just the characters he portrays that are awesome. It's the way he does it. He does it perfectly for what this film is about. While this film can sometimes be somewhat excessive, it's an absolute joy to watch, and easily, one of Mike Meyers best. I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in comedy films, as well as spy movies, such as James Bond, etc., as this film is actually a parody of the James Bond films. However, due to the good story and performances in this film, some viewers, as well as myself may just forget about that. I was pleasantly surprised and I think anyone who hasn't seen it yet will be as well.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a 1997 spy action comedy film.There are some funny moments in this movie but in pieces.Dr. Evil's character was not fully developed.There are multiple plot holes in the script.Should have focused much on script before making it.I think movie is overrated.Currently its IMDb rating is 7 but it does not deserve more than 6.You can still watch this movie if you don't believe in a good story and logic.Overall I give it 5/10.

Comedian Mike Myers stars as a 1960s hipster secret agent, who was cryonically frozen and released in the 1990's in order to battle his evil nemesis, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers). His goofy and flashy personality was out of place for the 1990s, but he seemed to hit it off with his partner-in-crime, Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley).The plot of Dr. Evil and his mad plan of holding the world hostage was, unfortunately, not emphasized enough in the film, which made the story less intriguing. Much of the movie was centered toward Austin Powers trying to woo Vanessa, which resulted in goofy but boring chemistry and an awkward attempt at romance.The movie was an obvious spoof to James Bond, but it wasn't tastefully done - there was no suspense. The "hero" of the film, Austin Powers, didn't really do anything in the movie except showing off his awfully hairy chest and cheap moves on Vanessa; at least the Naked Gun movies delivered laugh-out-loud humor and actually had solid good guy vs. bad guy plot devices and action. What you got here were just obvious sexual innuendos, crude jokes, and adolescent stuff.You will get some chuckles here and there on some of the slapstick puns, but the movie is mostly boring, juvenile and low-humored which as a result, in my opinion, makes it overrated.Grade D--
