Thanks for the memories!
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Dr. Evil is back and has invented a new time machine that allows him to go back to the 1960s and steal Austin Powers' mojo, inadvertently leaving him "shagless". Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me suffers from what most movie sequels do and that is originality and sure the film has some pretty good moments to talk about and Myers is pretty good once again plus the special effects and make up are outstanding but the film's storyline and some of it's humor are so 90's that it hurts plus some cameos were a little bit weird to say the least. But an entertaining and some what silly sequel for sure. (6.4/10)
You can enjoy this movie only if you are a kid because there are too many flaws in scripts and screenplay that you can't ignore.Also comedy is there in bits and pieces.Characters are doing anything they want.Some scenes are illogical.I don't know what was happening in action scenes.They were terrible.There were 10-15 bad people with guns and they were not able to hurt Austin Powers in any scene.Most of the jokes were repetitive and not hilarious at all.I understand that it's suppose to be a parody of James Bond, but it's not funny.At least I was expecting some good action scenes from Hollywood movie.Overall I give it 5/10.
It's surprising to think that the first Austin Powers movie underwhelmed at the box office back in 1997, only picking up a cult following after its VHS release, and soon enough you couldn't escape the sound of someone yelling "yeah, baby!" every 5 minutes. By the time it's sequel hit the cinema screens, the character, along with the super-spy's arch-nemesis Dr. Evil, had garnered a huge mainstream following, and the movie was a big hit. Yet the film, subtitled The Spy Who Shagged Me, suffers from the same problems as most comedy sequels, which is basically to re-tread the same successful jokes from the first movie, and forgetting what made the original so fresh and charming.Powers (Mike Myers) is a randy, free-love type-of-guy from the 60's. When he was re-awoken from his cryogenic state in the 90's, his out- of-date attitudes put him at odds with a society that had grown more stiff-upper-lipped. Crowds of screaming girls would no longer chase him down the street a la A Hard Day's Night (1964) and sexy girls wouldn't be willing to bed him at the drop of a hat. When Dr. Evil (also Myers) arrives back to Earth with a plan to steal Powers' mojo, the characters find themselves time-travelling again back to the 60's, where gorgeous super-agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) is ready and willing, but Powers lack the mojo to do anything about it. Most of what made the first movie so successful was that Powers was a man out of time, so by placing him back into his natural surroundings, the opportunity to create funny set- piece's are few and far between.The dentally-challenged Brit is instead lumped with a dull romance with Shagwell, which is a carbon-copy of the relationship between Powers and Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley), only with the roles reversed. In fact, Powers seems to play second-fiddle to Dr. Evil, whose ridiculously outlandish plots and newly-created sidekick Mini-Me (Verne Troyer) annoy his estranged son Scott Evil (Seth Green) and provide the majority of the film's laughs. An early scene where Evil appears on Jerry Springer with his son is hilarious, and the film is at its most inspired when the focus is on the bad guys. The Spy Who Shagged Me is also more gross-out than it's predecessor, continuing a trend set by There's Something About Mary (1998) and re-establishment of the teen sex comedy set by American Pie (1999), so Myers introduces a vile character called Fat Bastard who speaks with a Scottish accent and is permanently covered with chicken bits, whose scenes tend to induce more cringes than laughs. It's funny enough to justify its third instalment, but it lacks the satire, sweetness and freshness of the original.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is an excellent movie with a well developed plot and an outstanding comedic cast. It is everything a sequel should be, a film that both continues and expands on the previous movie. Here, we have a bigger and better adventure for the title character, putting him up against Dr. Evil once again, and including the addition of some great new characters, including Austin's love interest Felicity, who have a great back and forth with one another, as well as Evil's little clone Mini-Me, who steals every scene he is in. I did think it went out of the way to be overly complicated. The plot was far more convoluted and a lot less straight forward in comparison to the first Austin Powers. It's just that, at times, it felt like it was trying too hard to be bigger than its predecessor rather than being its own movie. The cast is stellar, with each member, old and new, fitting in effortlessly to this absurd, wacky universe. Mike Myers steals the show, of course, playing three characters this time around, with the likes of Heather Graham, Seth Green, Michael York and Verne Troyer shining in their respective roles. Ridiculous fun from beginning to end. Zany hilarity, I would certainly recommend Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me to anyone looking for a good comedy adventure. Austin Powers must put a stop to Dr. Evil's next big plan while also gaining his manhood back. Best Performance: Mike Myers
