Disappointed is a very good way to describe how I felt about "Austin Powers 3: Goldmember." From the very start, it seemed like the movie was too much of the same old thing, overused jokes and situations that were from the two past films.

As I sat in the movie theater for the "much anticipated" sneak preview, much of what I heard from the people around me was forced laughter. The plot was confusing and pointless. I know comedies of this type aren't supposed to be deep, but at least the writers should give us a reason to really watch it to the very end.

Although there were many flaws, the movie did pull off some really good laughs. Most of which were very close to the end and definitely short-lived. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this movie a 6. Some good advice I can give is to think of this movie as a good rental in the future for a party. I wouldn't give up my money just to see it on the big screen.
