The third one had a few laugh out loud sequences but in general couldn’t sustain the laughs over the course of a whole movie as well as the previous two did.

I can’t see what other spy/villain conventions he can still spoof, I thought he exhausted all the gags by the third film.

This sounds more of a lack of ideas on Myers part after bombing out with Guru. It’s too bad, he was one of my favourite comedians.

790…. since when does success excuse you from human emotion.

He is just a normal guy like everyone else. The desire to make your parents proud of you is hardly out of the ordinary.

All the money in the world cannot buy you happiness. It just rents it.

Kinda heartless to make fun of the guy over that.

This movie is going to bomb. Austin Powers 3 was trainwreck. Every new iteration has gotten worse.

Love me daddy !!!

Strange how a guy with so much talent worries about what his dead dad thinks…

Weird.

@Slushie..

Unless he learns his lesson and tightens up his act reminding us why we found Austin Powers funny to begin with. Guru wasn’t an indian Austin Powers, but it was his style.

If the gags were as funny as Austin was, he would have been fine. But even in Myers style the gags were not funny.

I enjoyed the Austin Powers series (decreasingly as they went along, but still liked them), but I don’t know if Dr. Evil is a strong enough character to carry a movie without Austin Powers. I’d say the same thing about Austin Powers as well. A large part of what made the movies work was the interplay between the parody of the quintessential spy and the parody of the quintessential villain.

I hated Austin Powers 3, but loved the first two, so I’ll give this one a chance. Could be good.

Wasn’t Goldmember already pretty much a Dr Evil movie?
