( Showing 1-35 of 171 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )
  "It’s fun, but a psychological mess, with Austin Powers bumping his head on the way out of the closet."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM

2.5/4  "Shamelessly resorting to pee-related sight gags that might even cause Tom Green a grimace; still, Myer's energy and the silliness of it all eventually prevail"
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD

B-  "...Myers has turned his franchise into the movie version of an adolescent dirty-joke book done up in post-Tarantino pop-culture riffs..."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

3.5/5  "Overall very good for what it's trying to do."
-- Scott B., IGN FILMFORCE

C  "We get the comedy we settle for."
-- Bruce Bennett, SPECTRUM (ST. GEORGE, UTAH)

1.5/4  "There’s really not much of anything to recommend about this movie except the opening. After that, Goldmember turns to pyrite."
-- Bob Bloom, JOURNAL AND COURIER (LAFAYETTE, IN)

  "Myers never knows when to let a gag die; thus, we’re subjected to one mind-numbingly lengthy riff on poo and pee jokes after another."
-- Josef Braun, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)

2.5/5  "Like a fish that’s lived too long, Austin Powers in Goldmember has some unnecessary parts and is kinda wrong in places."
-- Catherine Cantieri, HOLECITY.COM

1.5/4  "The chocolate factory without Charlie."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL

D  "Goldmember has none of the visual wit of the previous pictures, and it looks as though Jay Roach directed the film from the back of a taxicab."
-- Jason Clark, MATINEE MAGAZINE

B-  "“Austin Powers in Goldmember” has the right stuff for silly summer entertainment and has enough laughs to sustain interest to the end."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS

2/4  "The good is very, very good... The rest runs from mildly unimpressive to despairingly awful."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE

3.5/5  "The first five minutes are hilarious, but some of the jokes are getting tired. Enough to make it worth a look? Yeah, baby."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM

2.5/4  "You'll laugh at either the obviousness of it all or its stupidity or maybe even its inventiveness, but the point is, you'll laugh."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE

2/4  "The cameo-packed, M:I-2-spoofing title sequence is the funniest 5 minutes to date in this spy comedy franchise...Then Mike Myers shows up and ruins everything."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE

5/5  "Some of the most inventive silliness you are likely to witness in a movie theatre for some time."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES

  "Every joke is repeated at least four times. Every joke is repeated at least four times. Every joke is repeated at least--annoying, isn't it?"
-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

F  "it seems to me the film is about the art of ripping people off without ever letting them consciously know you have done so"
-- Jim Chastain, NORMAN TRANSCRIPT

8/10  "Austin Powers for the most part is extremely funny, the first part making up for any flaws that come later."
-- Chuck the Movieguy, THEMOVIEGUY.COM

B-  "What we have here is an examination of fathers, sons and sibling rivalry - squared and sideways"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS

3/4  "Third time's the charm...yeah, baby!"
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)

3/4  "These characters are so well established that the gang feels comfortable with taking insane liberties and doing the goofiest stuff out of left field, and I'm all for that."
-- Criminy Pete, CRIMINYPETE.COM

2.5/4  "There’s a lot of good material here, but there’s also a lot of redundancy and unsuccessful crudeness accompanying it."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES

Hot Pick
C+  "Watching Austin Powers in Goldmember is like binging on cotton candy. It's sweet and fluffy at the time, but it may leave you feeling a little sticky and unsatisfied."
-- Tom Maurstad, DALLAS MORNING NEWS

Cream of the Crop
ROTTEN 58%
Avg. Rating: 5.7/10
3/4  "Goldmember is funny enough to justify the embarrassment of bringing a barf bag to the moviehouse."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY

2.5/4  "Qualities that were once amusing are becoming irritating."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS

3/4  "The most consistently funny of the Austin Powers films."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE

2.5/4  "The Powers team has fashioned a comedy with more laughs than many, no question. But this time there's some mold on the gold."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY

  "It's amusing, but you may find that you're over it."
-- Paul Clinton, CNN

2/4  "The movie is a little tired; maybe the original inspiration has run its course."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

2.5/4  "Uneven, self-conscious but often hilarious spoof."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST

B-  "The reason this picture works better than its predecessors is that Myers is no longer simply spoofing the mini-mod-madness of '60s spy movies."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

B-  "Austin Powers in Goldmember is a cinematic car wreck, a catastrophic collision of tastelessness and gall that nevertheless will leave fans clamoring for another ride."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE

3/5  "When a movie is as down-and-out funny as Austin Powers in Goldmember, it's easy to overlook the missed opportunities and fizzled jokes littering the barrage of hilarity."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

3/5  "If Myers decides to make another Austin Powers movie, maybe he should just stick with Austin and Dr Evil."
-- Matt Easterbrook, MATT'S MOVIE REVIEWS
