A non-stop laugh riot. Brillant satire. It would be nice if the sequals would return the simple formula that works so well in this original Austin Powers: Two relics of the '60s who are hopelessly out of touch with the late '90s.

We don't need Austin and Evil traveling back in time because they are much funnier to watch trying to get up to speed with the present. Right up there with Airplane and Naked Gun.… Expand

Probably the funniest movie of all time. I heard this movie was made to watch tripping so I recently watched on it magic mushrooms and the rumor is true.

While Austin Powers and Dr. Evil are great characters, and the idea for the movie is brilliant, it isn't properly executed, I find, and shoves too much sex jokes and sex scenes in your face, and the story isn't always even.

When you stumble across a comedy so full of unique humour, the story needn't have to make sense, which makes Austin Powers a perfect concoction of laughter

Austin Powers is just simply a fun movie that will make you smile for its entire runtime and will not let you go. Myers is the man here, with his off-kilter Jim Carey persona and his cheesy catchphrases, and he really plays the character well here.

If Austin Powers contains your sort of humour, which it does in my case, this is the most fun you'll ever have with any movie. Must-watch for everybody who loves comedy.

With great performances by Mike Myers and a lot of funny moments, this is a great comedy. It does have a few moments where it doesn't make sense though.

Words cannot describe how wonderful this film was. The story is admittedly daft, but the film itself is witty, sophisticated and hysterically stupid, while being fast, furious and fun as well. The humour is hilarious to the point of sidesWords cannot describe how wonderful this film was. The story is admittedly daft, but the film itself is witty, sophisticated and hysterically stupid, while being fast, furious and fun as well. The humour is hilarious to the point of sides splitting, from the mocking of the fashion and musical style of the Swinging Sixties period, to countless references to 007, Matt Helm and Our Man Flint. And Austin's catchphrases?... groovy! The film looks amazing, with bright colourful sets and great costumes, and the soundtrack is funky. Then we have Mike Myers brilliant as Austin Powers(better than he was in Cat in the Hat anyway, the less said about that travesty the better), and hysterically over-the-top as the arch-nemesis Dr Evil, and Elizabeth Hurley fabulously sexy as Vanessa Kensington. Overall, wonderful film, better than I thought it would be. Shagadelic, baby! 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

The sexual jokes in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" will provide you a new eyesight of comedy...the naked way. However, that's the only bland jokes the movie pertains to have.

It was rather corny at times but it was a good parody and Mike Myers played his role perfectly. It was quite hilarious as well and well worth the watch.

Not only did he write the movie, but he stars as both the hero and the villain of it. It's his performances and passion for the project that brings the whole thing to life and makes it very funny.

Plenty of inside references and clever nods to the spy movies it so lovingly pokes fun at are found throughout. There are also plenty of visual cues and insights towards what life was like in the 60's. Both are infused and used throughout. It gives the film a tone and sense of humor all it's own.

It's a rather brief affair. It sticks around just long enough to get it's jokes out and it moves on. You might be left wanting more from the plot and more content overall, but it's hard to criticize it too much when it does what it set out to do this well. It's a very funny movie and one worth watching. Myers brings his spy movie vision to life with an over-the-top sense of humor and it's joy to watch thanks to the almost constant stream of jokes in throws at you.… Expand

Not nearly as funny as the trailers made it out to be. There's good material here don't get me wrong i just feel that Mike Myers' characters stretch thin in a full movie format, maybe in an 5 minute SNL skit these characters would materialize better.

The first film in the Austin Powers series, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" sets the tone in a amusingly camp and whimsical way for the preceding sequels. Mike Myers does what Eddie Murphy largely failed to do in "The Nutty Professor" or "Norbit" - that being portraying multiple characters who both DON'T outshine the other and provide equal amount of laughs. Although there are a lot of references to 1960 spy flicks (namely the Bond pictures) anybody who enjoys a good comedy will adore this movie.… Expand

Too few chuckles to make up for the mess of a movie. Mike Myers clearly finds himself much funnier than he actually is--I don't care how many different roles he can commit to.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is an extremely funny movie. The plot is good, and Mike Myers does a great job playing both Austin and Dr. Evil. You laugh so much during the movie. My favorite parts were the elevator/stair scene and Allota Also, when Austin is escaping the water and just stands there making jokes about the guard. This movie is a MUST see!… Expand

I'm finding that the users rating is much closer to being accurate than the critics ratings. This movie was funny. The scene with Tom Arnold in the bathroom is classic comedy. I laughed so hard I cried.

Overall this film is a must-see spoof that will cause you to laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. It represents the sixties culture and how much different events are nowadays in a fully satisfying way.

Non stop laughs. And a slap at James Bond movies of the old days. Some things go a little crude and over the top, though.

When Dr Evil returns 30 years later Powers is thawed back into action to once again foil his nemeses plan to take over the world. Spoofing almost every spy film ever made Austin Powers International Man of Mystery is one of those rare movies that is actually laugh out loud funny. Much of the humour comes from Austin’s total failure to adapt to his 90’s surroundings but, as with the sequel, it is really Dr Evil who steals the show with some fantastic one liners that are still quoted two decades later.

A true comedy classic.… Expand
