Better than the third one but not as good as the sequel, but its still really funny. I like the humor of these movies.

An awesome comedic performance by Mike Myers anchors Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Dr. Evil is a bit more fun than Powers himself, but they're both hilarious. It's unfortunate that a lack of creative comedic direction (besides the funny "hide anatomy" scenes) hurts the film greatly. Also, I'm not a fan of how Mike Myers is the only funny person in this movie. Seth Green comes close, but even he isn't that funny. The movie also feels like it's missing a lot of fun fish-out-of-water jokes for no real reason. If it had a more memorable ensemble and better direction, I'd feel comfortable calling it a comedy classic, but as it is, it's just a pretty good comedy from the 90s. C+

 

I did like Tom Arnold's cameo though.
