      Goldmember was a total dud, and was not funny at all.

      Goldmember is HILARIOUS and I'm tired of pretending it's not

    I feel like Myers knows not to make a fourth one, and I'm so fricking happy for that fact.

    Same reason the Love Guru is shit---when Mike gets too much power he refuses the collaborate with any editorial voice. Jay Roach, a corporate today, sure wasn't going to say shit.

        it had 3 successful movies and they called it a job well done. People quote Dr Evil to this day

    we didn't even get a "son of austin powers" seems like that's what they were setting up for later. not saying it would have worked but I'd pick it up in the $5 dvd bin for sure.

    How is having a series of 3 wildly successful movies considered a failure?

    I am glad he left it at Goldmember, where it was already starting to get stale, but I do wonder what a Austin Powers pisstake of the snorefest that is the Craig era of Bond would have been like.

      According to Craig, the Powers movies is what cause the Bond franchise to go down the route it did and became more serious in tone because they were no longer able to do gags and jokes.

    This is a clever way to make Austin Powers threads.
    Negative threads usually last longer because people who like it will defend the movie and someone will eventually post a funny scene then other people will post their favourite scene and so on.

    It would be kino if they made another one parodying the overly serious grimdark tone of the Craig movies

    Austin Powers movies are complete and utter shit and it amazes me that it lured anyone into the theaters at all. Only thing that could have made them worse would be if Jim Carrey had played Powers. Gads!
