I liked this movie, except I found that Beyonce's dreadful performance ruined it for me. She and Mike Meyers had no chemistry whatsoever. They barely even touched throughout the entire film. Her performance was flat and one dimensional and unnecessary. They should have hired an actual actress.
shareTotally agree, and the KISS at the end was soooo *beep*-ing fake. It looks like Foxy couldn't breath or like she thought "do it for the money... do it for the money...".
shareman you guys are right. Im always against music artists taking cracks at acting. Unless its someone like Bill Mosley.. hes just a badass.
all right lock that up! -Lee
Maybe it was like: "If u want to make this movie, then Beyonce have to be the Powers-girl."
S..t happened.
Yeah, the girl can't act. But she's got a pretty face and she knows how to shake her ass. That is enough for the general audience.
You drop a popular "artist" into a movie and her fanbase will come along for the ride. That's how you milk them brainless moviegoers.
Yeah, but one look at those hips in those jeans, and it was all worthwhile.
shareThere is nothin' special with Beyonce's physical appearance she's generic... I don't find her attractive, and she did detract from my enjoyment of the movie...

are you gay? beyonce is the *beep* mmmm mmmm black girls!
shareNo, lol, I'm not gay. I just don't find her attractive at all. I don't like the ultra-thin, unnaturally figured women... it's too generic... and I like my girls white as a ghost. lol

ohhh! you're a racist?
shareIf you're so obtuse as to label me that because of my unconscious uncontrollable preferences... sure.
[<ABSENT>prodigy]
A pedophile also cannot control his unconscious preferences.
You're still a racist.

Hey let me have a go at this game!
"Hitler also made wild assumptions about people he never met. You are a Nazi."
How was that?
i guess beyonce is replaceable
sorry, that was an unfortunate attempt at jokeful humor
Yes, obviously, superior acting skills are required for a film like this.
The night is a very dark time for me.
She was PERFECT for this movie.
The rest of the movie sucks, why shouldn't she also?
but I still could watch her belly for 120 minutes
I know a little German. He's sitting over there
They should of brought back Elizabeth Hurley, Even though she xploded in the second one.

Are you guys all sure? I think her character was pretty legitimate in this one. She didn't bother me at all, and her performance as a singer was most noticable as her best part in the film. Not too many situations for her to act in particular anyway, to actually determine if she's really good or not as an actress.

Barely any musicians can act, look at ice cube in XXX2, he ruined that for me, like she did for this.
shareI thought this was the best Austin powers movie, I like Beyonce in it even though her acting wasn't good. She is DEFINETLY better than any of the other Austin Power girls in the past.

she gave me a headache in this movie, and y'all are right. there was absoultely not chemistry at all btw MM and beyonce. and it's pretty lame when that's what austin powers is about (the character, not the movie). he's all about sex and funnn, and she was all about boring and flat. it just felt wrong, but i wouldn't go as far as saying she "ruin" the movie. she was just OK. they could've hired someone A LOT better.

AMEN.
"Fashionably late, eh Johnas? Fashionably late. Gimme a kiss baby!"
I never thought the Austin Powers movies were that great. But watching Beyonce in Goldmember made it unbearable. In my opinion, until she can be in a movie where she doesn't play a singer, she isn't an actress. She's just in a two hour music video.
shareUGH. Beyonce singl-handedly RUINED the movie. Her performance was HORRIBLE and she really annoyed the hell out of me!
"Sha-zam!"
"You under arrest, Suga!"
"Huhuh, well, the future better get ready for me, cause I'm FOXY (snaps thumbs ugh) Cleopatra and I'm a whooOOOOoooole LOTTA WOMAN!"
And when she TRIES to speak Japanese......CRINGE!!!!!!!!
I still LOVE this movie though, my favorite out of the 3. Its just that Beyonce is the most cringeworthy person to hit comedy!
-"I thought YOU were Doyle's best shooter..."
-"Nah, just the best lookin'".
yeah she ruined the movie. she was totally helpless! but whatever...all chicks in movies like this are like that. goldmember is still one of my favorites.
shareMaybe it was the crappy lines she had, plus her delivery of them. You do still need to be believable as a character and not playing yourself in a comedy, which was what she was doing.

Shes not even hot either...ick
I mean compare hear to Heather Graham, in the spy who shagged me..Shes not even in the same ball park.
Yeah she could'nt act at all just played the most stereotypical character they could think of. By the way what happened to Heather Graham at least at the end of Austin Powers 1 we got an explanation of what happened to the first chick.
shareBeyonce is hotter than Liz Hurley going down on Heather Graham, and would be marvelous reading a phone book.
shareBeyonce is a geniunely nice and adorable girl, but her performance SUCKED in this movie. What's with the "shut yo' mouth!" crap? Talk about stereotypical. Was she supposed to be a female Shaft or something?
This is my signature. Not part of this post. Purpose: to let you know it's not part of the post.
Agreed. The way she always shake her head while talking was so ******* annoying!!!
