Mike Myers Movies and TV Shows Ranked by Tomatometer
We’re ranking the films and series of Canadian comedy legend Mike Myers! We start with Myers’s Certified Fresh works, which includes the first two Shrek films, Dreamworks Animation’s punchy family satires of fairy tales, and Wayne’s World, still among the most successful of Saturday Night Live sketch-to-movie adaptations. Next up are the Austin Powers trilogy, which left such an indelible mark that it affected the super-serious trajectory of James Bond when the character was rebooted in Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale. More notable Myers projects include brief but memorable appearances in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and Quentin Tarantino’s Nazi-killin’ Inglourious Basterds, and TV comeback The Pentaverate, Netflix’s Illumanti spoof. —Alex Vo
