Page 1 of Was it just me or is Goldmember just not funny?

Whel, watched it last night and thought it was so bad. It`s been a while since I`ve been so tempted to turn a film off before the end but, ooh, last night was close.
Seen it all before in the first two films and elsewhere - only far far better and funnier.
Sure, I laughed a few times and the scene beating up mini me was funny but there wasn`t one real belly laugh for me in the whole film.

Opinions?

I think its the weakest film as it is mostly old jokes and rehashes. But it still has its moments.

It`s you.

My girlfriend wanted to watch this in the cinema when it came out so like a mug I took her. After paying for the admission and sweets and drinks and stuff I was subjected to the most turgid film ever made!
I rented the first film out years ago and thought it was bad but read reviews that the second Austin Powers was miles better! I watched that in the cinema and thought that was pig swill!!
Michael Caine was wasted in this cack film and I thought he was wasted in Jaws:The Revenge!!! I would rather watch him in the Jaws film then this pile of doggy do! I`ve laughed out more often and regular whilst watching an episode of Eastenders!
I wouldnt dream of making my DVD collection look bad by buying any of these childish film`s!
I felt so ripped off and distraught after paying good money to watch this pants film that I nearly dumped my girlfriend there and then!
Stop this Austin Powers franchise right now! >:-(

P.S. Mike Myers is the Devil reincarnated!

So Andy_R, did you not like the film???

Think he likes it actually Chewie. :p

I think the first one is the weakest (it got a big cult status on VHS), the second doesn`t live up to repeat viewings at all, and in my opinion the 3rd is the best. Myers is genius.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I turned it off after about 10 mins, pants

Well I must be weird (isn`t that vvveird??) as I laughed my head off at it, which really hurt.

Sure, some of the jokes were repeated, but it doesn`t try to hide that fact. The ending is a bit messed up but hell it`s a comedy, it`s not meant to be a display of fine acting. I enjoyed it as I did the other two films.

Out of all of them I think it is probably the best one for repeat viewings, though technically the first was probably the best as it`s more original.

PS. Andy R -great that you`re so passionate about it "I nearly dumped my girlfriend right there and then"

That my friend is comic genius :D

I found it hilarious, but then again, I liked thunderpants!!
