ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

The first two Austin Powers movie seem lame and witless to me. I wasn't expecting much from the third one.

Imagine my surprise when they it was distinctively better — especially the opening scenes.

Behold . . .

______ Austin Powers: Goldmember opening scene


___________

Gentlemen, this is brilliant, exciting, and funny. Whatever you may think of the motive after this, you should appreciated the skill it took to make this clever opening.

However, the fun does end her. The spritely sequences that followed are also clever. Fans of lesser efforts to spoof the spy craze should appreciate the sequence shown below.

Gwyneth Paltrow's breif scene was obviously shot at the peak of her youthful beauty. And the inclusion cameos by Tom Cruse, Keven Spacey, and Danny Devito were brilliant show-stoppers before the show had barely begun.

The opening credits continue with more levity which set a standard the movie stuggled to maintain. It wasn't always successful, but it never got a dull as most of the two previous films.

_______ Austin Powers: Goldmember opening scene


___________

Even the music is remarkable — from the John Woo Bond-like opening action sequence all the way through the "groovy" dance numbers which presented the opening credits, This movie is more fun that the Psychedelic Nineteen Sixties!

I admit it, I loved ALL three Austin Powers movies.

I like 2 the best, but all 3 have charm and humor . . . it is high school humor, but it is still well done.

Michael Caine is perfect as Austins father, as are the young Dr Evil and Austin. Beyonce is a weak point, but not terribly so.

The base cast is perfect as always.

It's to bad we never got the 4th film.

Yup, the opening scene was great!

Beyonce wasn't bad, just not Heather Graham good.

But I love all 3 movies, for what they are.

Little known facts. While there was a script, a large part of the movies were improvised and Dr Evil was written for Jim Carry.

Ah yes, we have reached consensus. Heather was a honey, too, and the 2nd movie was terrific.

Do you own a DVD or download of Goldmember? If not, I can provide one from WeTransfer — free and safe.
