Although it's definitely not the best Austin Powers film, Goldmember is still a good little film to watch when there's nothing else on. There's still a chuckle to be had with a wonderful cast with Mike Myers reprising his role (well, roles) as Austin Powers and Michael Cain as Austin's father was a good choice. Despite being more in the 70s than the last two even though Austin is clearly a 60's stereotype, it's a good film to pass the time with a couple of laughs.

A great end to the trilogy, goldmember has the laughs and has some great moments. The storyline is bogus, but it doesn't matter, there are so many iconic scenes that it makes up for everything else.

Most of the cast of the first two Austin Powers films return for this third and latest Powers creation, Goldmember. I say latest and not last because I think with sufficient interest and the possibility of a good box office, Mike Myers could possibly be induced to revive Austin Powers and all the characters he created in the three films.

Powers is back with his opposite number Dr. Evil and his henchman from the Spy Who Shagged Me, Fat Bastard and in this film he creates a new and even more sinister international villain in Dutch master criminal Goldmember. So named because he leaves the male members of his male prisoners painted gold, dead or alive. The members and the prisoners that is.

Well if stealing Austin's mojo in The Spy Who Shagged Me didn't stop Powers, maybe kidnapping his father will. So Michael Caine enters the general mood of hilarity in Goldmember as Mike Myers father Nigel Powers who is kidnapped and taken back to the disco era of 1975.

If you remember Powers was cryogenically frozen as Dr. Evil was in the first film and then sent back to the sixties. Now he gets a chance to experience the Seventies and things are wilder and crazier in the disco era than they were in swinging London of the Sixties. Myers gets some help from American agent Beyonce Knowles as Foxy Cleopatra, but with his mojo going full blast and the fact that Dr. Evil doesn't want a rival in the evil business, Powers gets the job done.

Seth Green gets to shine a bit more in this film as son Scott Evil who finally looks like he's coming into his own as a worthy successor to head the Evil Empire.

Altogether Goldmember is a nice Shagadelic experience, really groovy baby.
