There is only one word to describe this film: excellent.
The funny jokes, the insane clothes and the one we all want to die, Dr. Evil.

60`s superspy must save the world from domination from Dr Evil. To do this he teams up with Elizabeth Hurley and sets out to defeat the evil one. Some fantastic gags (Vanilla Ice in the cryogenic chamber) and some good acting (apart from Hurley) means an above average film. Just.

Video:

Presented in 2.35:1. The picture is crispy clean.

Sound:

Makes average use of the 5.1.

This is not my kind of humor at all, and if it wasnt for the fact that i was mor o less forced to see this movie and it`s successors i would not have done so. I guess it`s a either u love it or u hate it kind of movie.. I hate it, but alot of others seem to like it, beats me why.
