I know a lot of people don't care for the movies and I understand why but I still enjoyed and do enjoy the cheap laughs.

To me, Austin Powers is a lot like Parks and Recreation--despise the main character, but LOVE everyone else.

The first one is still good. Not great, but it's a solid comedy.

The other two were always flanderized shit and have only gotten worse with age.

About the only part of the second one I like is when they tell the audience to not overthink the time travel and to just have fun. More movies need that shit.

Yeah I actually just watched the trilogy again a month or two ago randomly; they still hold up really hilariously. Dripping 90s too, which is fun for all the 90s kids.

The hardest Ive ever laughed at a movie was watching the 2nd one in the theater when it came out. It came out at JUST the right time, and hit all the pop-cultural spots perfect at the time, like Jerry Springer, that younger people could not possibly fully appreciate watching them now.

So still funny...yes. Less funny...also yes. A fair amount has aged poorly I think, but overall the first two movies are mostly good still, and almost all of the Dr Evil stuff is still gold.

Ive always thought the third movie was complete shit though.

First one is funny.

Second one is funny when its not being gross.

Never bothered to see Goldmember. It looked terrible.

The first one is the best actual movie. 2 may or may not be funnier its been a while.

3 is essentially a vignette of Austin Powers themed SNL skits. Which is fine, but I gotta be in the mood for it

Goldmember the character was pretty funny to me, idk why. I used the "I love goooooooooooold" line a lot after that movie. Everyone else was pretty meh in it. Intro was pretty great though, I remember me and my dad being kinda confused for a second there lol.

First two are still great

First two still hold up.

Goldmember tried too hard. Many of the jokes weren't good. More 4th wall breaking. The story was far-fetched. It has it's moments though.

Only the first one. The sequels were shit.

And yes, it's still hilarious to me. It's up there with Airplane! as my favorite comedy.

Still like them, but a lot of it is obviously dated, with references like Jerry Springer & Jared. Though the first one has a special charm, specifically when Austin realizes it's not the 60's anymore, as he watches that tape covering everything that happened while he was frozen.

Love the first

Like the second

Can watch the third (the movie has some funny moments like the spy school flashback, Goldmember is the best new character in it imo).

Anything revolving around Dr. Evil (at least in the first movie) is still S-Tier humor and parody. Every little subtle movement he makes is a gem.

I saw it a couple years ago in Russian and I actually enjoyed the quality of the translation, it was rather impressive. I don't know if I would find it funny now in English just because I've seen it a few times and it's a little too shouty and has that weird 90s comedy to it.
