I liked that movie. I don’t understand why it got panned so hard by critics and fans.
IMO, I couldn't get through the first episode because too many of the jokes fell flat. The overall concept was brilliant, and Myers' track record suggested that this recipe couldn't fail. To me, the story and circumstances were humorous, satirical, even witty in places, but not funny. And with a story that is moving in service of flat jokes, it just didn't work for me.
I look back and think that whatever was in the room that made Austin Powers tick, just wasn't there. Writing? Direction? People to keep Mike reined in? More/better ensemble characters? Who knows.
Soneone didn't make it to the orgy "plate of hotdogs" scene, I see lol.
I recommend giving it another go, the first episode starts out slow to establish a lot of plot, but it pretty quickly ramps up.
There's a lot if good bits, and you do need to be 100% ready to see Micheal Myers dick. That show is not reined in lol.
