Premise
Mike Myers spoofs Bond movies as a 1970's spy cryogenically frozen until the 1990's.

Loved
The funny Bond parodies.

Liked
The cast.

Thoughts
I don't remember much, but I recall enjoying the 007 jokes, especially after watching the first two Bond movies. Mike Myers was funny as Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, Elizabeth Hurley was gorgeous, and it introduced the world to Will, Ferrell, Seth Green and Verne Troyer.

Biggest drawback was probably that the famous catchphrases have become so overused that people would cringe if you tried to say any of them more than a decade later.

What I would change
Not sure.
