Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me DVD > Reviews

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: slightly silly

...film: It is 1999 and Austin Powers is honeymooning with the smashing Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) when he receives an explosive' surprise that returns him to single swinging status. To make matters worse, Dr. Evil has returned to Earth from the frozen recesses of space and is hatching a new diabolical scheme to annihilate the world. It seems Dr. Evil uses a newly developed time machine to travel back to 1969, where he steals Austin Powers' ... Read review

Advantages: Funny as you're likely to get without using Prozac
Disadvantages: Cheap. Oh so cheap.

...sequel to the highly succesful Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery. The plot is a bit...well...non existent. Dr Evil comes back from outer space to steal Austin’s mojo in 1969. Austin, who is now in 1999 has to go back and try to get it back. Of course, Dr Evil is agian demanding ridiculous amounts of money, Mustafa is suffering immense pain and Scott cannot get a word in edgeways with his father. Life is normal then. So this film is ...

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Too much like the original

While I really like this film I do have to say it`s a bit of a cop out as it`s basically the same jokes as the first film with a slightly different story. I don`t like the lead female character as much as the first film either. The star of the film as with the last one is Dr. Evil who just cracks me up. The disc itself is excellent with loads of extras including the excellent Madonna Video to "Beautiful Stranger" along with 2 other Music Videos, deleted ... Read review

Advantages: It is unique compared to current comedies.
Disadvantages: It should habve been so much more.

...various assassins try to kill Austin (with the regrettable Spitz or Swallows exchange). All the satire that was present is ready and willing but unfortunately brief. Such as the re-appearance of Will Ferrell as the unfortunate foreign spy who get knocked down the side of a cliff and never seems to die. Unwelcome is the return of Burt Bacharach in a silly cameo doing another song, this time with Elvis Costello. This film should have been better. ... Read review

Advantages: Great film with lots of extras!
Disadvantages: None!

Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery is one groovy package... and so is this DVD, baby! The film itself is spectacular, I couldn't have asked for a better follow-up to the first feature. 'The Spy Who Shagged Me' has it all- musical interludes, fight scenes, filthy fun and of course, gratitious nudity. I chose to buy this DVD in particular for the splendid extras that the disc boasts. Firstly we have a entertaining Austin themed menu which includes ... Read review

Advantages: cool

Advantages: This film is packed full of fun, laughter and romance!!
Disadvantages: Little unrealistic at the start

...as three different people - Austin Powers, Dr Evil and Fat Bastard - and Heather Graham playing the sexy spy -Felicity Shagwell "Shagwell by name shag very well by reputation"- This has to be the funniest of the trilogy. Well the competition is close between this and the third and final - Austin Powers in Goldmember (where Mike Myers encounters yet another role as Goldmember *also starring Beyonce Knowles*- The start of the film is a little unbeliveable ...

Advantages: hilarious storyline and excellent jokes
Disadvantages: none @ all

...once more. This time Austin is in 1999 and Dr Evil is back in the 60's and he has used his agent "Fat Bastard" lol to steel Austin's Mojo. Austin endeavours to go back into the the 60's via a time machine and get his mojo back. The film goes on and on and.........I wont tell you the ending. Much better than the first and a great sequel. 10/10 ... Read review

Advantages: Hilarouis
Disadvantages: none

I absolutely adore Austin Powers II starring the brilliant Mike Myers and Heather Graham. Heather plays a spy called Felicity Shagwell and Mike plays Austin, Dr. Evil, and Mini Me, Fat Bastard but all of his characters are so very different. I didn't realize they were all him until I read the credits. Seth Green (from buffy the vampire slayer) plays Scott Evil who is Dr. Evil's son and they both end up featuring on the Jerry Springer Show, It's hilarious! ... Read review

Advantages: All thing Evil
Disadvantages: Fat Bastard - v.scary

Buy this DVD...Buy it NOW! There is very little i didn't like about this film and it was certainly on par with the first film which is unusual for a sequel. Dr. Evil stole the show for me once again adn Mike Myers proved that his comedy timing has waned in the slightest. The DVD has all the extras you would expect plus a few more which make it a great value for money item. I could try and list all the scenes that had me gripping my stomach with ... Read review

The whole concept of a toothy bond like.... stuck in future was halarious ..... Mike Mayers has came into his own in this character and has performed competantly in all characters that he has performed in the movie i.e. Austin Powers & Dr. Evil. Heather Graham has done a good job at keeping beauty with brains idea concept intact. The movie starts off with the idea of a sadistic lonetic Dr. Evil planning to rule the world using his LASER BEAM :), Austin is aware of Dr. Evil's EVIL plans and tries to stop him but in the process looses his MOJO ..... well in a nutshell the movie is a bag of laughter spiced up with a silly imitations of bond antics... the potrayal of the 60's is an eminant part of the movie. A must watch for all those ... who dont associate laughter with logic.

Advantages: A laugh a minute, Very funny
Disadvantages: No story (not much of a disadvantage actually)

Everybody saw Austin Powers:International man of mystery and thought it was great and couldn't be topped for it's comedy, Wrong, the sequel is so much funnier, the laughs come every minute and this time the film is not so based around the story as the first one was, this one is just good old fashioned laughs. The characters that are played by Mike Myers are Hilarious ranging from Austin himself to Dr.Evil to Fat Bastard. The story is that Dr. Evil ... Read review
