As Fat Bastard, Myers is terrifically, grossly hilarious, but Dr. Evil is already starting to wear out his welcome. The movie is just a lightweight doodle, entertaining enough yet a big step down from its predecessor. No redeeming social values, just good, dirty fun! TxMike 20 May This Austin Powers movie, unlike the first one, is not to be taken seriously at all! Just what all of us need occasionally.
I gave it a solid "8" rating - "4" for the acting and story line, and "12" of "10" for witty silliness, for my average of "8". Heather Graham is wonderful. I would watch her in a soap commercial! Quinoa 6 May I found the sequel to Austin Powers to be funny the first time around, maybe even funnier than the first film. But then I saw it again and again, and it became not as funny. Still, I think Mike Myers did some equally good and equally bad things here. Good because there are some new characters, including Verne Troyer who steals the show as Dr.
These characters add more humor, but this is also bad because the story feels recycled and not too original. The first had some originality and added to the hilarity. Still, I'm not complaining. This film had me rolling in the isles, and if it's your first time watching this, I reccomend it.
One of the best films of the year. Coventry 3 June When you use these terms, there should be at least a storyline or a decent plot, which is obviously not the case here. But it's not Mike Meyers' intention to bring a great story he even says that in the movie: " don't worry about those things and just enjoy it so that's OK. Like I said, in my opinion this is the most funny one of all three.
The first had some great moments and the 3rd one really stinks. I only laughed 2 or 3 times with that one. I probably prefer this one because of the introduction of 2 very funny characters. The clone of Dr. Evil called "Mini-Me" is very hilarious as played by Verne Troyer. He's a nasty little brat, who only loves Dr. To all others even to Number Two he's aggressive. He's pretty much what he's name is telling us. He's supposed to be from Scotland, he's accent is very cool and his habits of eating and farting are hilarious from time to time.
Evil remains very funny Then there's the story. I can be very short on that. There where in the first film Austin goes from to , he goes back to here because Dr. Evil stole his "Mojo" while being frozen Then, finally there's the girl. Although Liz Hurley is one of the most beautiful woman in the world, Heather Graham comes very close here. You'll never see her so sexy and beautiful as in Austin Powers the spy who shagged me. If you ever have to make the decision of watching one of the three Austin Powers-films BandSAboutMovies 14 April The first Austin Powers film was a modest success, but this was a monster, earning more its first weekend than the first film did in the entire time that it was in theaters.
After getting married to Ms. Kensington in the last film, it turns out that she's one of the fembots. She attempts to kill Austin before self-destructing. Our hero grieves briefly before realizing that he's single. And then we're off to more hijinks. Evil's plan this time is to go back in time to and steal Austin's mojo.
Moreau from the version of the film. When Graham was asked to audition for the role, at Mike Myers' request, she was saved from what she saw as a potential career-ending mistake. She was seriously considering accepting a major part in a softcore lesbian movie after not having any film roles for a year and a half. The first thing she did after getting paid for this movie? Buy a copy of the movie in which she would have appeared.
Thanks to the suggestive title, this movie has multiple titles all over the world. In Argentina? Austin Powers: The Seductive Spy.
In Brazil? In Japan, it was Austin Powers Deluxe. While this was in theaters for a long time following, Austin Powers impressions were all the rage. Perhaps more people cared about a parody of Bond than Bond himself, if only for a short period of time.
There is no question to the talent of Mike Myer. This time out he plays three characters in this self penned sequel. This is really not my type of comedy, but I did laugh a few times. The jokes that were not funny, were just plain sick. Most of the visual comedy was of the 'bathroom humor' variety. Evil creates a time machine; so he can go back to the sixties and steal Power's 'mojo', the elixir that makes groovy chicks crave him. The hip music and colorful sets were a plus for this aimless romp.
Keep your eyes on this Austin Powers guy, with his 'mojo' working, he could 'shag' your cat. Groovy, Baby! I liked all the funny jokes. Mostly the same as the first movie but they were still very funny.
Theo Robertson 23 May Oh dear , I honestly thought they were spoofs and how do you spoof a spoof? Anybody that enjoyed the first Austin Powers epic should love the sequel. The gags in "Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me" surpass the original not only in comic creativity but also in how much they make you cringe. The cosmic struggle between good and evil as embodied in Austin Powers' battle against Dr.
Evil has never been funnier. Cheeky scatological humor permeates this derivative tale along with the usual bad puns, double-entendres, infantile innuendo, and farcical slapstick.
Naturally, the Austin Powers movies celebrate as much as poke fun at those hip 's spy sagas where James Bond, Matt Helm, and Derek Flint used their wits and ways with women to vanquish the villains. Opening with a campy nod to "Star Wars," they recap the original adventure with their own prologue scrolling into deep space. Evil Mike Myers and exiled him to the dark recesses of space, but Powers also gotten his ugly teeth fixed and has married Vanessa Keningston Elizabeth Hurley in a cameo.
While Austin and Vanessa shag away in the honeymoon suite, Dr. Evil's Big Boy rocket reappears on Norad Radar. An American astronaut working on the space shuttle looks up and finds the famous Shoney's Restaurant icon hovering ominously in an atmospheric "Armageddon' like rendezvous that sets the tone of hilarity in this facetious sequel. Whirling degrees around the smiling Big Boy rocket, the camera focuses on the Big Boy's butt as a hinged compartment lowers, launching an egg which tumbles to the Earth.
Indeed, the diabolical Dr. Evil is back! Meanwhile, Austin learns that Vanessa isn't really Vanessa. Instead, she is a fembot, a Terminator-like robot equipped with machine guns in her breasts which she deploys to gun down Austin. Predictably, he survives her barrage of bullets and rescue her Swedish, penis-enlarging machine while the deadly fembot obliterates everything in sight before she self-destructs.
Rejoicing at his new found freedom, Austin cavorts throughout the motel in his birthday suit while psychedelic screen credits carefully obscure his genitals. When the credits don't cover up his crotch, different objects resembling his genitals show up in a series of inventive sight gags cover them up. Basically, director Jay Roach has recycled the same joke from the first "AP" movie but has tripled the objects standing in for Austin's genitalia.
While the first "AP" movie gave its eponymous hero the lion's share of screen time, Dr. Evil dominates the sequel.
Actually, between the two, Dr. Evil is far more interesting. Evil is the epitome of irony. Just as he did in "AP," Dr. Evil allows his vendetta to kill Powers overshadow his plans to enlarge his astronomically wealthy empire. The product placement here is clearly over-the-top as we find Dr. Evil in his high-rise headquarters in the Seattle space needle. Number Two Robert Wagner in a cameo reports that since they have acquired a minor coffee franchise, Starbucks, they have reaped a fortune.
Acquiring a fortune takes a back seat to Dr. Evil's latest mad scheme. He intends to go back in time to , two years before Austin Powers has been frozen cryogenically, to pinch our hero's mojo. There are some classic moments in the movie, like the beginning sequence, and the shadow-on-the-wall sequence involving Mini-me, but the whole thing stinks of self-indulgence and money-making rather than originality or passion.
I felt myself, straining to laugh throughout the 90 minutes or so I was in the cinema, and I SO wanted to love this movie as I loved the previous two installments.
Mike Myers is funny, and Beyonce Knowles is surprisingly good too, but Michael Caine isn't given the right material to shine and the Osbournes cameo verges on the pointless.
