Ocean's Thirteen

[Highly rated reviewer]

Lucky for us there's a 13.. ...

Though the high tide for Oceans was probably the first encounter , Oceans 12 was perfectly good, and this is no exception.

It is a slick, cool movie peppered with neat characters and another 'rip-off the big boys' plot that has you playing along on the wrong side for perhaps the right reasons.

Long at 2 hours, but definately worth the gamble, recommended.

Better than 12. Not Better than 11.

But wasn't that a given? Ocean's 11 was a fun, slickly made 'flick' that people young and old can enjoy. Oceans's 12 was a dire mess, not worthy of one star (it was clearly rushed into production with little thought or planning- the actors all felt like they were simply filling contract obligations).

But getting back to the film at hand... Oceans 13. Yes; they're back in Vegas. Julia Roberts isn't here, playing herself. And Michale Corleone himself's been added as the films villian. So why didn't I enjoy this film more?

I guess it just comes down to 'sequel-itis'. And by that I mean this film is like Ocean's 11 but not as good. Not as funny. Not as clever. Not amazingly intresting to watch.

Let's hope that 'contractual obligations' don't pull us back for Ocean's 14.
