"This third Austin Powers adventure deserves to be his last."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

2.5/5
"Desperately running out of steam and resorting to yet another stab at jokes that hit-and-missed the first two times around."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2/4
"Somewhere in the back of Mike Myers' mind there's probably a hope that Austin Powers lacks the resilience of James Bond."  Kansas City Star  Dan Lybarger

B-
"The first five minutes of this film rate as perhaps the best film opening ever... they’re worth the price of admission alone, and so we need say no more."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

3/4
"...though there is an occasion when a wisecrack results in dead stares rather than laughs, the result is pleasing enough for die-hard fans of this ambitious spy trilogy."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

3/4
"Better than the second, and almost as good as the first!"  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

2.5/4
"...[the film is] dominated by jokes that aren't terribly funny and abandons the more absurd nature of the first film's comedy."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"Most certainly the funniest Austin Powers movie yet, but it is also the most fervently uneven and charmless."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2.5/4
"Though the film amounts to little more than messy sketch comedy, it is far and away the funniest of the three Austin Powers films."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B+
"Austin Powers is an asset to American cinema."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Although the eurphoria is apparent for Austin Powers-mania, why risk the need of squeezing out another installment of a revered movie character dangerously looking to overstay his cinematic welcome in exhausting fashion?"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

C-
"Any gold in this edition of the franchise is mostly of the fools' variety...a hit-and-miss affair that misses more often than not."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"Qualities that were once amusing are becoming irritating."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"once Goldmember, like its predecessors in the series, is played dozens of times .... its humor will reach the sublime level that is expected of it."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

1/5
"Third installment of Mike Myers's spy-spoof franchise is a self-referential, self-satisfied mix of lazy "comedy" and low expectations."  Netflix  James Rocchi

6/10
"Decent, but nothing tremendous."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"Basically just recycles many of its used-up jokes, most of which aren't as funny the second (and sometimes, third) time around."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

4/10
"...things went from mediocre to worse in this entry."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/5
"Not quite golden."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

0/5
"For every brilliant moment (for example, casting Michael Caine as Austin's father), there are wads of blecch barring your finding it."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

3/4
"Whether you're new to Austin 'Danger' Powers or a shagadelic fan of the series, this one may be the last and it's a worthy sequel to end with."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3.5/4
"Packs enough drowning-out- the-dialogue- belly-laughs to make it a must-see."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

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

2.5/5
"For every laugh, there's an equal and opposite groan of disgust."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

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 Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

3/4
"Goldmember fits right in to the Austin Powers canon"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

"Most movies are about penises, on one level or another, but this one doesn’t pretend not to be, and you have to give Mike Myers 1000 bonus points for that."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Myers and Roach are running dangerously close to empty as far as new and genuinely funny ideas, and they would be best off quitting before they fall any farther behind."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

1.5/5
"This shameless and unfunny film is simply designed to put butts in seats with more of the same tired jokes."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3/4
"There are two things you should know about it: 1.) it is not as inspired as the previous two films; and 2.) it is still very, very funny."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

3/5
"30 very funny minutes surrounded by 60 minutes of far less funny jokes about body parts and body functions, primarily those relating to the bathroom."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/5
"Era mais engraçado quando [Mike] Myers ria dos outros, e não de si mesmo."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2/5
"Most of it is rehash, and smug rehash at that."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

D
"…flop sweat is never shagadelic, baby."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

C
"I paid $3 to see this movie. That is about $2 too much."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

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

2/5
"Far from the worst sequel ever made, but surely you have better things to spend 9 bucks on than ‘far from the worst sequel ever made’."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

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

B-
"Falls short of being a 24-karat comedy, but might be as funny as an Austin Powers movie gets."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

3/4
"If you need one reason to see it, see it for the great cameos and very funny moments we share with them."  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

1.5/4
"The chocolate factory without Charlie."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

2/4
"A horrible conclusion to a previously entertaining series."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
