Oceans13

AWPC · 8 Jun 2007 at 19:55

Saw it earlier today.

Better than Oceans 12 but still nowhere near as good as Oceans 11.

Lower your expectations as it is very tired and struggling for material in places. The script is very messy and the scenes jump around a lot for no real reason than because they have run out of ideas like the movie really.

Best thing about it is that Oceans gang of 11 all seem to be playing the exact same roles the same way like they are stuck in a timewarp or something.

Big problem is the movie is not funny at all and too lightweight for a drama.

Rated PG so that tells you everything you need to know about the content. Could have been a G as its so tame. Brad Pitt has the best part but he fades towards the end from the movie and only has a few lines anyway. Clooney/Damon have the most to say. Pacino is wasted and also sleepwalking through the material as he could not swear so no way to convey how ruthless he could be. Barkin looks super hot for her age but again because its PG that limits the realism. They should have gone for a higher rating. Zero violence in it as well.

To be honest calling a film better than Oceans12 isn't hard... that was a truly, truly terrible film.

Think I will give this one a miss.

Its worth seeing as its watchable just nowhere near as good as it should have been considering all the talented people involved.

If it does well then no doubt in 3 years we will get an oceans14 yawn......

high expectations with such a great cast of actors, not many deliver when so many talents are combined. I'll have to go watch it but not expecting to be blown away

Hmm, I enjoyed it to some extent. But as said it can't beat Oceans 11.

Dire. No twist. Smug. Rather boring.

SilverTongue · 11 Jun 2007 at 14:47

as soon as i headr about it i didn't wanna see it. Looks like Ocean is gonna end up being another John McClane

helpimcrap · 12 Jun 2007 at 21:30

seen it last night and the only film i've ever nodded off at...

soooooooo boring until about the last hour.

plot is dire and totally unplausible though.... i mean c'mon, no one questions where they get the equipment from to make the hotel shake (trying not to spoil it for anyone who does want to see it...).

dire....

Well... they discuss it when first set packs up don't they? They got the first one from Brits, and second one from the other side, both at very high price (again, trying not to force too many spoilers on the table).

was poor, very obvious script, predicatable beyond belief and no ending worth talking of

denon · 13 Jun 2007 at 12:01

is it worth a watch?

lloydsj · 13 Jun 2007 at 12:27

Yes... its watchable. As already said, 11 is best, 12 is worst, 13 is dragging it out.

You have to look past the realism of the film, as it is so blatently un-plausable. If you can do that, its watchable and has a few funny bits. The plot has lots of holes and we could discuss them here 'till the cows come home. This is not a film critics film, it's light hearted entertainment which unfortunately is in its 3rd tired installment.

for the first time ever i was disappointed i spent £6.30 watching a film tbh.

poosemon · 13 Jun 2007 at 17:05

i thought it was a good laugh tbh, easy going film, but imo more of a rental then essential cinema viewing,

denon · 13 Jun 2007 at 18:43

thanks guys il wait till its out for rent

I really enjoyed Oceans 11, didn't have a bad thing to say about it. Oceans 12 on the other hand was completely terrible!

I have high expectations for this movie, due to all the advertising, the all star cast with Al Pacino etc, I just hope it turns out worth while.

Big Kev · 13 Jun 2007 at 20:12

I quite liked it, then again, I quite liked Oceans 12 as well.

weringo · 13 Jun 2007 at 23:32

Very unrealistic and stupid. Why does Terry just give them $72 million for almost no reason without giving it a second thought? I thought he was a successful businessman.

Was watchable though.

Bunka · 14 Jun 2007 at 00:30

I enjoyed it for what it was, not basing it on any of the others. It was entertaining with what they presented, but lacked any real depth in many key areas of the plot which left me thinking 'wtf, why did that just happen?' in quite a few places.
