User Reviews
I really can't understand how anyone can like this film! It is one of the worst (if not the worst) film i've seen. The acting is below zero and it isn't even funny not even slightly amusing! The plot is a load of rubbish. They go to stop Dr.Evil getting a ransom or he'll erupt volcanoes.
This film has the worst of everything the best part was when the credits rolled up! But the acting is awful and Austin Power just wants to have sex the whole time! Please save yourself the trouble and DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM!
A great start for the trilogy

This movie was a great comedy. It is so good of a spoof of James Bond that I didn't even see any of the James Bond movies and I laughed. The acting was simply awesome. Mike Myers was great as Austin... Full review

Myers makes a better Dr. Evil then Austin Powers, but this was still a pretty funny and decent tongue in cheek homage to the old spy films, as we see powers thawed out in modern day to chase after his nemisis,... Full review

As said before, even at its worst, Austin Powers is still pretty funny.
Just yesterday I was thinking about how the original Austin Powers movie came out ten years ago and then got to wondering whether they would ever try to make a fourth movie.

In the best moments, Roach explains how Myers and Hurley pulled off the movie's amazing, and beautifully orchestrated, sight gags (including Hurley's taking a bite out of a sausage that conveniently covers Austin's privates as he cavorts in the background). ... Full Review
