Ocean's Thirteen


Ocean’s Thirteen
– 6/15/07 – Viewed on the BIG screen
It is clearly better than the Ocean's 12 but Ocean's 11 is still a lot better than this one.  I thought O13 was entertaining, fun and had a lot of laughs but like the second one there was too much going on, making most of what happens in the movie not even matter.  Also the individual tricks that the overall heist relies on aren't that cool and, like in O12, they weren't plausible.  I guess the creators probably aren't trying to go for "plausible" in these movies but for me it is hard to overlook when the whole heist relies on a dozen ridiculous occurrences going as planned.  The overall idea, style and over-the-top cast are still great and I enjoyed the movie but I wish I hadn't paid to see it.
