The third time is a strike-out here as Mike Myers thoroughly wastes his talent and those of his co-stars in this unfunny and lame sequel to the first two Austin films.
The story: Dr. Evil breaks out of jail and (once again) tries to conquer the world via an elaborate and clichéd mad scientist like plan. Austin (once again) must stop him with the help of the beautiful Foxxy Cleopatra and his father, played by Michael Caine in a useless performance.
Does this sound familiar? This is the same story I've seen in the first two movies and when you consider that everyone seems to be in on this fact combined with their phoned in performances, you see how unnecessary this sequel really is.
What can you say about this: It's not funny, it's limp, the cameos are useless with a few exceptions, and the story often makes no sense. Myers struck out and maybe that's for the better. We've since been spared a fourth entry.
