well it looks like crap actually.

 

[KeithTalent]

After watching about 3 of the trailers I give it -500/10. Looks completely stupid.

About what I expected.

 

[sdifox]

Not all all surprising. I remember vaguely it was supposed to come out earlier but got pushed back because of bad screening result.

Is mike myers career as a comedian over ?

 

[onlyCOpunk]

If I recall the Austin Powers movies didn't all that great of reviews either. It seems to be along the same lines. I'll probably see it.

 

[meltdown75]

if it was getting great reviews, would you have posted?

I posted to see people's reactions. It is Mike Myers first movie in a while.

It looks like something along the lines of a Will Ferrel movie. Which means it will be utter SHITE.

Get Smart also opening this Friday. 2 comedies, neither getting great reviews. Both will probably still pull $20-30M.

My GF who loved the all of the Austin Powers Movies said it looked stupid.

Possibly. Austin Powers was great. But then 2 & 3 were just constant rehashes of jokes from 1. Love Guru looks like more of the same just packaged with a different coat of paint.

Hard to imagine a Mike Meyers made movie could be too bad, but, those reviews are pretty rough. Then again, pretty much all Movie Critics hate comedy.

Austin Powers was pretty stupid too.

Someone posted when Ironman was getting 90+ at RT so what's your point?

My favourite Myers movie was, and still is, So I Married an Axe Murderer; I still watch it periodically. I also liked the first Wayne's World and the first Austin Powers, but that's about it. Everything else was just a re-tread of earlier material.

It reminds me of Holy Man. I'm not even remotely surprised the reviews are comparable.

 

[sandorski]

I don't trust Critics. They have failed me too many times before.

 

[rocadelpunk]

I love mike meyers, but he should stick to voice acting...unless jack black is the new mike meyers/robin williams.

you wanna go?

It looks like they took all of the Austin Powers jokes Myers ran into the ground by the time of Goldmember and just used them again with a different, and much lamer character. Myers should just stick to voice-overs.
