FUCK, here comes #4!
bob_barron Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I saw Pink Panther. It wasn't as bad some of the critics were saying, but it wasn't that good either. Beyonce was awful
razazteca Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Who's the bigger star at this point? Steve Martin or Beyonce? Jean Reno
SuperJerk Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Posted February 13, 2006 Beyonce was awful I'd say she ruined Goldmember, but Mike Meyers ruined Goldmember. Beyonce was just an after-thought.
bob_barron Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Nah, Myers made Goldmember much better by reducing Fat Bastard and adding the Goldmember character. That and actually giving Austin something to do, after how horrible he was in Spy Who Shagged Me.
NYU Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I'm shocked Final Destination 3 wasn't #1. The Pink Panther looks like yet another unfunny Steve Martin movie...only this time, he has an accent.
Gary Floyd Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I'm not suprised that Final Destination 3 didn't take the top spot. I don't think any of them have. Anyways, for those who have seen it, 1.) How good/bad/gory were the death scenes, and 2.) Is Tony Todd (the mortician from parts one and two) in this one? Man, it's been a long time since Steve Matin has been in a good movie. How the mighty have fallen.
razazteca Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Steve Martin might as well start making Naked Gun movies.
Slayer Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Who's the bigger star at this point? Steve Martin or Beyonce? The commercials clearly focused more on her than him

That and actually giving Austin something to do, after how horrible he was in Spy Who Shagged Me. Bob, I'm just going to face the fact that you and I are never going to agree on any movie, ever. Having said that, I'll make no apologies for "The Spy Who Shagged Me" and its obvious inferiority to the first Austin Powers movie. However, the third was just a terrible, unfunny film. Why would I say this? Simply put, the movie was entirely to self-referential. Myers recycled most of the ags in the movie from the gags in the previous movies. While this might've worked had it been a long time since the first two had come out, it didn't work in this case. The rest of the movie, the sorry attempt to reform the Dr. Evil character and make him a good guy, completely nuetered the character. Casting Michael Caine as Austin's father was a good idea, but then they did next to nothing with him. And the subtitles gag about the shittake mushrooms was better left to the 7th grade (and WHY did they feel the need to have Beyonce explain the gag? lame). The opening also dragged on, since having celebrities recite Austin Powers catch-phrases got old fast, and I got tired of Austin Powers imitations around 1998.
AndrewTS Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I saw Pink Panther. It wasn't as bad some of the critics were saying, but it wasn't that good either. Beyonce was awful On a scale of "A Shot in the Dark" to "Son of the Pink Panther/Trail of the Pink Panther", where does it fall?
Vyce Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Please, let this Pink Panther film tank from here on out so that they never make another. I'm not big fan of the original, but this new one is horrible. I've yet to see Underworld, but I want to. I need to see it soon, because at this rate, it'll be out of theaters in a couple weeks.
Mole Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Man, it's been a long time since Steve Matin has been in a good movie. How the mighty have fallen. Cheaper by the Dozen was good.
dubq Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Man, it's been a long time since Steve Matin has been in a good movie. How the mighty have fallen. The last one I can remember is Novocaine.
bob_barron Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 The rest of the movie, the sorry attempt to reform the Dr. Evil character and make him a good guy, completely nuetered the character. Dr. Evil was already pretty much good in the second movie, so I didn't mind his change of heart. Casting Michael Caine as Austin's father was a good idea, but then they did next to nothing with him. Michael Caine was awesome, if only for his line: There are two things that make me angry. People intolerent of other people's cultures....and the Dutch. The opening also dragged on, since having celebrities recite Austin Powers catch-phrases got old fast, Come on, the first 10 minutes are classic! The big flaw with the Powers series is that he wanted to be likes James Bond and get a different girl for each movie, not realising that Elizabeth Hurley was the perfect foil and that Heather Graham's only redeeming quality was Beyonce made her look a lot less awful. On a scale of "A Shot in the Dark" to "Son of the Pink Panther/Trail of the Pink Panther", where does it fall? I've never seen any of the other movies. Cheaper by the Dozen was good. Cheaper 2 is better.
SuperJerk Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Posted February 13, 2006 The opening also dragged on, since having celebrities recite Austin Powers catch-phrases got old fast, Come on, the first 10 minutes are classic! I just wasn't feeling it. It was like a satire overdose. And I could've done without Britney Spears as well. The big flaw with the Powers series is that he wanted to be likes James Bond and get a different girl for each movie, not realising that Elizabeth Hurley was the perfect foil and that Heather Graham's only redeeming quality was Beyonce made her look a lot less awful. I can't really disagree with that.
