Austin Powers 2 - The Spy Who Shagged Me
Iambe, Minupla, xinit and xinit-gf went to see
The Spy Who Shagged Me
tonight, and I thought I'd throw my thoughts about it here.
First of all, go see it. I loved it. The same style of humour as the first
one, with sight gags, wordplay, past/present humour and the like. Mike Myers
was great as both Austin and Dr. Evil. Seth Green returned as Scott Evil, and
Mr. Bigglesworth had a few more seconds of screen fame (not enough though).
Of course there were more than enough beautiful women for a british spy movie.
So yes, I loved it, and laughed my ass off. I'd recommend it to anyone who
can take a bit of crass humour
. My only complaints were a few times
the jokes were a bit too obvious, and you just sat there going
"I know exactly what is going to happen here" and then didn't enjoy
the joke when it finally did come. They also seemed to use a lot of the same
joke forumla's from the first one, making it drag a little at times. Now this
is not to say I wasn't laughing out loud for most of the movie, and would
gladly go again.
