This thread doesn't work because it's a non controversial opinion. EVERYONE thinks that the first movie was the best (you aren't a real person if you think other-wise). The first was a clever take on the classic spy genre while the sequels were wackiness tied up in fart humor.

That's actually the working title for pre-production of part 4,

Austin Powers 4: More Farts

Agreed.

So the more pertinent question is: When did Michael Meyers stop being funny?


I'm sure we can all name a handful of people that were once funny, then seemingly suddenly, stopped being funny. Like Michael Meyers.

What happened?

I actually found all of the Austin Powers movies to be quite funny (was 13 when Goldmember was released sooo) but their #1 problem is that they have absolutely no rewatch value whatsoever. It can be funny for exactly one watch-through, but any further attempts to enjoy it are virtually impossible.

Also I like bad things

They're very dated movies that I remember playing really well in the theater. Like the stuff with Mini Me & all the scenes where Dr Evil is explaining his plans all got huge laughs. I remember the scene where Dr. Evil & Mini Me are doing a music video and they're making fun of both the The Island of Dr. Moreau remake & the Will Smith remake of Just the Two of Us that was everywhere Dr. Evil is rapping because you could just start rapping in a movie in pre-9/11 America. I don't think any of that would play well today but at the time it definitely worked.

It was bound to happen, he needed a wake up call, now only if Sandler could get one.
