Goldmember is definitely the funniest of the three - Austin Powers in Goldmember Reviews

Goldmember is definitely the funniest of the three Austin Powers features, but suffers from a badly written script. The actual plot isn't that bad (Austin's father is kidnapped by the evil Goldmember who has used a time machine to transport himself from 1975 to 2002 to wreck havoc on the world. And the small side story of Austin trying to connect with his 'Never There' father), but Mike Myers seemed to try and include most (If not all) of his great skits from the first two movies. The result is a movie that starts to seem like just a bunch of funny clips pilled together to make a movie. But luckily new hilarious skits, and some still funny old ones save this film from becoming another one of Hollywood's horrible sequels. As I said before, this is arguably the funniest of all the Austin powers movies. All of the great characters from the first two are back; Mr. Evil, Mini-Me, Fat Bastard, Scott, Fral Farbisena (sorry if I spelled anything wrong. Ever try spelling Farbisena, it's hard), No. 2, and of course, Austin. A few new characters add to the movie; Goldmember is the best of these; a Dutch, skin flake eating, madman (oh, by the way; he really does have a goldmember). The other new character is Foxxy Cleopatra, played by Beyonce Knowles, is another great addition to the Powers family. Over these past three Austin Powers movies, Mike Myers has shown the he is one of the funniest men alive ... So overall, I would definitely say this movie is worth the 1? hours of your time...
