    I saw it tonight along a bunch of freakin' teenage morons at the First Colony AMC. Now these kids have cellphones that light up brightly when they ring. Great.

    Overall I thought it was pretty good. I had heard a few bad reviews beforehand and I think that helped me lower my expectations.


    ========== spoilers ================



    Here are some of my favorite parts:


    * Opening scene. The cameos with Cruise, Paltrow, DeVito and Spacey were priceless. I laughed my ass off. Travolta at the end was a good suprise.

    * Mini-me was hilarious...I loved him in part 2 but I thought he had an even better role in this movie.

    * Fook Yu. Fook Mi. I'm in love.

    * I didn't care for the new addition of Goldmember. Dude was too hard to understand. He had a few funny bits.

    * Not enough of Fat b*stard.

    * Beyonce rocks and looked hot. They were smart to keep her lines short. She was able to handle the script they gave here.

    * Seeing Britney the fembot blow up was worth the price of admission. Glad to see many of the audience agreed with seeing the demise of Britney.

    * I thought the ending sucked. I didn't like Dr Evil even turning out to be Austin's brother. I'm not sure how they'll come up with a good part 4 now but anything is possible I guess.

    * The scenes with the Titans fans was hilarious. It played well in H-town and I'm sure it was a hit in Nashville.

    * Mini-me's "clone inside you joke" was the best delivered line of the night by Beyonce I thought.


    If the lines tonight were in any indication this movie could break a few box office records over the weekend. I'm not sure how it'll hold up in the long run but I would expect it'll be close to part 2.

    I saw it Thursday night and the place was pretty empty. It seems everyone thought it was being released on Friday but the theatre I went to showed it Thursday... did they change the release date?

    Hilarious. Its true there is really no plot, But you still laugh your ass off from start to finish. The Opening Cameo Scene was classic and mini-me was great again. Don't see it if you want a story, see it if you want a laugh.

    The movie was off the hook. The sarcasm was ridiculous, I laughed from start to end. Everybody should go see it.

    It was funny. Goldmember was gross and so was Fat b*stard. Beyonce was hot. I too liked Mini me in this one more than the last. But the end with the group hug was stupid. If they have a next one, where will it go? Evil turning his back on Powers. Come on, unless this was the last one, they shouldn't of ended it like that.

    The movie is a waste of money. Where's Will Ferrell? Where's the rest of the characters? Everyone is there just as background...nobody does anything remotely funny other than Mike Myers or Verne Troyer, and even then its just a chuckle or two. The Fred Savage cameo was surprisingly funny. The Goldmember character is sooooooooooooo stupid though. Loved the first AP, the second one was hilarious, but this one was full of ex lax.

    If u didnt think this movie was funny then you have no sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!

    Goldmember kicked ass!!!!!!!!!

    BTW what are matinee prices in Texas? here in ohio its $5.50 thats a fair price i guess.... if u miss the matinee u are getting ripped its like $8.50 or something here.

    I thought it sucked bad. I didn't laugh once, except for the very beginning.

    Watch The Naked Gun over again to see where they get most of their attempts at humor.

    i didn't care for this one as much... the Goldmember character was plain nasty and not funny at all...

    i liked that VT had a bigger role. The opening sequence was hands down one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen... When I saw it, I told my sister that "this doesn't look like AP, it looks like MI2!" guess i was right! ;)

    the ending was AWFUL! if there is an AP4, i don't think i'll be seeing it until video release... i'm finally done with this series, its kinda played. :(

    Beyoncé: tast-icious. Did a good job.

    Dr Evil: hilarious.

    Some scenes were completely flat and pointless and yet I laughed my ass off most of the time. I'll see it again.

    i saw ap2 three times in theatres when it came out. i even bought it on dvd. its classic.
    i was eagerly anticipating this one obviously.
    i was really dissapointed, the second one was good because of all the new characters. but this one seemed like all it did was milk those characters for all they were worth, instead of making anything new. granted they had new characters in the mole and goldmember. but they really werent that funny. i was really dissapointed they didnt kill off heather graham or something in the begginning. i mean the only thing that made this a sequel to 2 was that they mentioned doctor evil was in space. they should have picked up where they left off. killed off heather graham, and then gone nowhere... that would have made more sense? another funny thing about the second one was the exchange between scott and dr evil..shh... the "scotty dont" in this one, just wasnt as good.
    the prison scene, the hard knock life song, funniest part.
    where as ap2 offered newer funnier scenes than ap1. ap3 just seemed like the same old ****, even though it wasnt.
    1140 sold out. 1220 sold out. saw it at 1250, had to wait an hour. im not worried at all



    :(

    i thought it was great. it was really funny. the subway joke was hilarious.


    the goldmember character was pointless. however, it could be because of the lawsuit pinned on them by the james bond people. they needed to give him a smaller role, i think, so that if they lost the suit, they wouldnt be hurt too badly by him not being in the movie. thats just something i was thinking about.

    other then goldmember himself, the movie was really really funny. ill go see it again.
