Slightly better than the first one. There's a strange retro 90s charm whenever the film tries to be modern-90s in the 60s. Apart from that it's pretty much a carbon copy of the first film, but the jokes are a bit more elaborate and the running gags just a tad funnier.
Hit and miss comedy that is highly dependent on its 60s vibe. Myers' character has become iconic since, but much of the humor is simplistic, repetitive and tame. It's only when it gets extremely silly that this Bond parody is able to redeem itself.
While this is no doubt supposed to be a rather serious and grave film, about a subject that is extremely relevant, I often couldn't shake the feeling that I was watching a pastiche, almost a comedy at times. I don't know the characters by heart, but I've seen them around and I had a really hard time taking them seriously. The performances are thick, almost comical. The plot is predictable (even without knowing much of the facts upfront) and the film never feels genuine or trustworthy. Bombshell is a typical Hollywood vehicle, not the kind of film that can deliver a message with any kind of authority. Not great.Read all
Worst of the three. It gets a little too repetitive and it often feels like you're watching an ad for MTV instead of a bona fide comedy. Caine is a nice addition, Goldmember an atrocious caricature. They should've left it at two, it's no surprise a fourth one never materialized.
