Comedy-In the third installment of the swinging series, Austin's father Nigel is kidnapped by Dutch Goldmember. Austin must go back to 1975 to get his father back. When he's there, he meets Foxxy Cleopatra, someone he's met before, and they team up together. Once they get Nigel back, however, they find out that Goldmember has an asteroid thing in space and Dr. Evil's going to use a tracter beam to bring it to earth to melt the polar ice caps and cause global flooding. Sex jokes ensue.

5/10. A really stupid movie, but it made up for it in the jokes. This movie was probably the worst in the series and I do think they're going to come out with a 4th one. Mike Myers plays once again a whole bunch of characters. There were also a lot of cameos. Inculding Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, etc. Once again, I lost IQ points and Brain cells.

8/10-A good finish to a popular series. There were a number of recycled jokes, but they were used in new ways. They might as well just have thrown away the paper-thin plot. At least in the first two they actually "talked" about the plot. The jokes, though recycled (the shadows, for instance), were extremley funny. Goldmember didn't do anything for me, though, and the ending was horrible. One more thing-what's with Frau's hair in the beginning?
Overall, there were three things that bugged me that I haven't talked
about:
Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell didn't come back.
They didn't find a way for Mustafa (Will Ferrel) to come back.
No more covered-up nudity.

9/10. 9/10 This is the best movie in the Austin Powers series, true it had some recycled humor, and felicity didn't show up again but it was hilarious! A really great finish to a great series. It was as funny as hell. But to get a lot of it you do need to see the first 2.
Rated PG-13 for non-stop crude humor.
