  Austin Powers in Goldmember - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third in the series starring Mike Myers, effective drowns the audience and whatever spark was in the first film, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, in bathroom humor and crude jokes.
Austin Powers (Myers) goes back and forth in time to prevent this diabolical scheme, which is confusing since whatever the date he wears the same 1960's clothes and looks like a neon sign.
If Austin Powers had any restraint, he’d know it is time to finally stay in the past in his Shaguar, but the financial success of the series will probably prevent the dawning of the day when Myers will ever operate on that level of judgement.

Goldmember (real name Van der Smut) is a double jointed Dutchman who lost his genitals in a smelting accident and replaced them with a solid gold replica.
While I'm unclear as to how Austin could have history with a woman in 1975 when he was cryogenically frozen in the 60s, Foxxy's initial undercover communication with him, using Nathan Lane as a literal mouthpiece, is priceless.

 Austin Powers in Goldmember REVIEW **3/4 - CTF
Instead of Austin (Mike Meyers) in his own "shagadelic" culture, in Goldmember he was brought into our world, which as a result detracted from and clouded the film's mojo (the essence of Austin Powers).
Jay Roach, who directed the previous two Austin Powers films as well as 2000's "Meet the Parents" (and its upcoming sequel "Meet the Fockers," 2003), did a fairly admirable job with the script he had to work with, even though much of the humor was rehashed from the previous films.
In concluding, Goldmember was straight comedy served without much of a story, but it was still for the most part, satisfying in the end.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
"Austin Powers in Goldmember," from returning director Jay Roach (2000's "Meet the Parents"), is but a long series of humorous sketch ideas padded out by an uninvolving storyline.
The seemingly constant jokes directed at new Austin Powers aide Number 3 (Fred Savage), who has a giant mole on his face, wears thin real quick, while the continued feuding between Dr. Evil and neglected son Scott (Seth Green) is a tedious example of just how unfunny the movie can be.
True to form, "Austin Powers in Goldmember" has many of the stand-by characteristics of the franchise: the farcical song-and-dance numbers; the spy movie take-offs; and the sexual-oriented and bodily function gags.

 AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER - INFINIFILM WIDESCREEN DVD
We meet Goldmember (so named for his prosthetic bullion bar and ingots) in another bit of multi-layered absurdity during a time-travel journey to New York circa 1975 and the fictional Studio 69, with Myers referencing his own most critically praised performance as Studio 54's perverse Steve Rubell.
Goldmember is perhaps the most horrific deconstruction of the self and the mortification of corporeal identity since Bergman's Persona.
Less esoterically, Goldmember, save Savage's mole (and a bit stolen gag for gag from the second Austin Powers film), is a boring and enervated comedy that limps around reeking of the pathetic and the desperate urge to be loved long after the passion for the thing has waned.

 DVD Review - Austin Powers in Goldmember: Infinifilm (Widescreen Edition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
There's another scene where Austin is peeing but it looks like a fountain, paired with other bodily function jokes (including a Goldmember trait where he eats his own dead skin) and more Fat Bastard material.
The "Austin's Pad" scene (chapter 3) is wonderfully colorful, and the warm golds in "Studio 69" (chapter 4) are luscious.
The first thing I asked myself was, "Why Austin Powers in DTS?" Truth be told, the DTS track greatly expands on the musical sequences (and, of course, the New Line theme in 6.1 audio isn't too bad either).

 nofreelist.com - Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Austin Powers is back again for a third outing, once again, facing off against the very evil (but highly incompetent) Doctor Evil.
What makes them so appealing is that both the Austin Powers and Doctor Evil characters are well defined, mainly by their mannerisms and interactions, which are, at times, hilarious.
The Goldmember character, however, is as one-dimensional as they come - Mike Myers appears to have thrown the Goldmember character in just so he could demonstrate that he can do a Dutch accent - there's very little else to Goldmember.

 Goldmember, Austin Powers In (AU - DVD R4) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
And in true Austin Powers style it doesn’t, though there’s still some semblance of a plot so that all those familiar situations from the last two films can be rehashed.
Goldmember is simply not nearly as funny as he should be, especially with the expectation of being the title character and the newest addition to Myers’ repertoire.
Powers himself is still quite amusing but his role in this film is more to facilitate the re-workings of previous gags rather than create any new ones.
