Advantages: Entertaining and funny in parts. Disadvantages: Nowhere near as good as the first one.
of Goldmember is random in a bad way with none of then wit the first film had and feels like an old rejected storyline that got quickly dug up. It once again concerns Austin Powers who finally captures Dr Evil, only for his father (Nigel Powers) to be kidnapped by new villain, Goldmember. Dr Evil agrees to tell Austin where his father is in return for transfer to the prison where Mini- Me is held.

Advantages: Inexpensive clothing for the whole family, regular sales. Disadvantages: No changing room, poor manoeuvrability for wheelchairs.

Her husband George was a tram conductor and as she opened stores along his tram ...
With nothing else to do on Saturday night, I ended up going to see the good old Austin Powers flik, was I impressed? Not really. Did I expect to be impressed? Not really!
There ya go! The film started brilliantly, very funny! We had Tom Cruise as Austin Powers and many other well known actors and actresses representing other roles.
This was the introduction to the third edition of Austin Powers. These people, Tom Cruise etc have been hired to make a film on Austin Powers so in the film I was watching - Goldmember they are making a film on Austin Powers called Pussy*** . Sound confusing?! Well it isn't as bad as it sounds! ALSO this is not the main plot! They simply used this as an intro tothe movie and also an ending.
Well after watching a brilliant start, I started to get my hopes up for the film, maybe it wasn't going to be ...
