Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery, was frozen in 1967 and defrosted in the Nineties to battle his nemesis, Dr. Evil. After foiling his archenemy's plan to send a nuclear warhead to the center of the earth, Austin banished Dr. Evil to the cold recesses of space and settled down with his new wife, Vanessa, to live happily ever after. Or so he thought...

What a waste of time!

The movie business has officially reached a new low. I went for this movie because everyone seemed so excited about it. But I don't remember ever regretting watching a movie this much!The whole movie is filled with lame jokes and unfunny physical comedy. And after a while, seeing Mike Myers play EVERY character is just unbelievably annoying. Dr. Evil is even more irritating than the first time - if that's even possible. Save your money and go watch The Phantom Menace again - that's the only true blockbuster of the year.
