they're not

The bits with Dr. Evil are funny but Austin is an insufferable character

Every party needs a pooper thats why we invited you.

Party pooper, party pooper.

Funny and clever parodies of the genre at a time (post goldeneye Brosnan) where the bond movies were practically giving them material

You'd have to have a stick up your ass to not enjoy

The beginning of the 3rd movie is the greatest 10 minutes ever put to film.

dont get invited*

They were good when I was 15 but now they're just ok at 25. Still better than most of the shit comedies you get these days. The ones with Adam Sandler, Kevin James etc.

Having watched them all a tad recently, International Man Of Mystery is the only one that really, really holds up. There are bits of The Spy Who Shagged Me that are just annoying, and Goldmember is a mixed bag of shit.
