I saw Austin Powers: the spy who...... the other day. I thought it was
great. Did you know that the Americans were dubious about releasing it
because they thought we'd take offence?

Anyhow, its a great film and I'd advise anybody with a sense of humor to see
it instead of the hugely dissapointing StarWars: the Phantom Menace, which
was very accurately described as "a shoot out in a toy store"

If you do see APtSWSM stay sat at the end of the film for the extra two
scenes so that you can laugh at the people who think the shows over!

<<Austin Powers: the spy who...... me>>
I think that's exactly the reason why the American producers thought British
would take offence... There were rumors that they wanted to change the title
of the movie in England because of the word shagged...
Anyways, I think the first movie was MUCH better..... It was a lot funnier,
very sweet....... When you saw the first one, you weren't sure what you
were going to see.... But the second one... You knew you were going to laugh
about sex. I liked it... but it was very obvious.... I especially liked
"Just the Two Of Us" sang by Dr.Evil and Minime.

The first AP movie was crap and I can't believe I even saw it, there's
no way I'm gonna see the second. I actually liked Phantom Menace and
saw it twice.

Oh, side note... as many of you know, I have a kinda weird sense of
humor/normal sense of humor. But can you belive the recall on AP toys at
ToysRUs? They had two dolls, one AP doll that said random things (this is a
childs toy mind you) and one of the sayings was "I'm so horny". Now you tell me
that any kid should be hearing that, to me that is such a load of crap...
second, another AP toy that had AP with _major_ chest hair, and he said
something like "I've been shagged". Both of these toys are something a child
-should not- be hearing... I cannot belive ToysRUs, or the makers would ever
_make_ such a thing, for kids. I can see it for adults, older teens, but not
kids... its just wrong. Too many retards in America.... I can't wait till I'm
on power... none of this will ever happen.. I'm gonna get Adam Corrola (sp?)
from LoveLine, we will rule the world, and we won't have a screwed up Ameria
anymore... ;)

I haven't seen either film... but I've seen a trailer for the AP film, and
it looks, well, obvious. Idiot humour type of thing. I intend to see the new
star wars film, though- once I've seen the other three so I know the plot!

I think it was great too! Thanks for reminding me. I'll go watch it again
after I bathe. I have the VCD you see. :o) I liked that part when Austin
Powers walked "naked" all over the hotel. Actually he wasn't really naked of
course. :o) I wonder how they got him out of the pool without getting him
wet...

Nyaah! no you should see EP1 first. Then see EP4, 5 and 6.

Honestly, it'll make more sense that way =)

Really?
She can watch 4, 5, and 6 and understand them, then watch 1, and understand it
and 4, 5, and 6. Or she could watch 1, not understand what the heck is going
on, then watch 4, 5, and 6 and understand them, then understand 1, maybe even
have to go see it again to understand 1 :)

How is seeing 1 first easier...?

Just wondering how you can decide the second one is crap without seeing it?
I mean, I have to agree with you it was sucky, but it's the principal - see
it before you decide. I wanted to see it for the jokes, I knew the plot was
idiotic as the first one's but I didn't want to judge it before I saw
it.....

It's not my type of movie.
So I won't see it.
The plot is a large reason I go see movies. The plot of all AP movies
(as is evident in the title of the second) is sexual innuendo, I find
that to be an extremely weak and pathetic plot, thus making me decide
I would rather spend my $7.00 on a movie that *has* a plot and won't
make me wish I wasn't $7.00 short.

Personal choice. If you like Austin Powers, great! I, however, do not.

ok....
austin powers 2 was grossly over-rated, being, as it was, merely austin
powers 1 with about 5 new jokes and the rest recycled. it also came across
as much more smug, as if it didn't need to try hard, and as such lost nearly all
the charm of the original. it's too "trendy" now, anyhoo, to be any good.

Ooohh... I just seen "The Sixth Sense". Now that was a great movie, not really
horror scary, but more of a mind thriller... very, very good. I for one think
it will become classic, because it is very well acted, and has one kicker for
an ending I loved every minute of it. I am very serious, I'd see it again, if I
only had the money (waits for check from GotoWorld ;) )

I think in the first film they marketed it on its spoofyness but the second
was marketed on the character "Austin Powers". This meant that they could
ignore some aspects of the first film to concentrate on sex and innuendo

IMO, it's better to see 4, 5, and 6 first and then see 1 (and then 2
and 3). There are quite a few lines in 1 that aren't quite as
meaningful without having seen 4, 5, and 6 first.

Bah! I refuse to belive that.

Why I had a dream about that mural last night. . . .I was sitting in the
cinema, and when "that" scene came on everyone took out their cameras and
started taking pictures of it. . . . . then I went back to driving around
the streets of London in a chicken suit.

The second one is much better than the first one, it is probably worth
a look.

I don't think so. <runs from all> I personally think the older three
were better stories, but the newer one helped make sense of some of
it. YMMV of course. Personally I would say that, so far, AP2 is the
best.
