If Ocean's Twelve had not followed Ocean's Eleven, my guess is that the reviews would be more favorable - but, for better or worse, Ocean's Twelve is a sequel and its predecessor, Ocean's Eleven, was an excellent movie and had tremendous success. The Ocean's Twelve cast is outstanding (Andy Garcia, Bernie Mac, Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cherry Jones, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Scott Caan, Vincent Cassel) with especially strong performances from Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones... but the writing is sub-par and really stretches at times. Ocean's Twelve is an extension of the first movie: three years after Danny Ocean's crew (Ocean's 11) robbed Las Vegas casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), Benedict is seeking revenge and the $160MM that was stolen. Benedict givens Ocean and gang two weeks to get the money - or else. Seeking quick, big money, Ocean's 11 plans a big heist in Amsterdam. Don't get me wrong - the movie is fun, has plenty of action and humor... my complaint is that it doesn't live up to Ocean's 11. Still an enjoyable ride.Read full review
Oceans 12 wasn't as good as the first, but it was pretty good. Yes, as the previews say, there all back and more are added including Julia Roberts as no. 12. It starts out as Terry Benedict gives Oceans eleven men two weeks to pay back his money or he will kill them. So they decide to pull off some jobs to make the dough. However Catherine Zeta Jones is trying to catch them red-handed. The plot is twisted and like the first one it doesn't come together until the end, but you may have to see it a few more times to understand it. The movie doesn't explain the roles of some of the men and it is more like Damon's Four for awhile, and you'll see why, but in the end it is funny, and it makes you think, unlike recent movies being made. Watch for the cameos, with Bruce Willis, and the actor in Brad Pitt's hotel room is form That 70's Show. P.S. the movie isn't that predictable like some reviewers say. I recommend seeing the prequel first Oceans 11 it will make more sense in the second one.Read full review
I think it's best not to watch Ocean's eleven and Ocean's twelve back to back. But this movie has some merit to stand on it's own, and it certainly is worth a look. The story picks up wehre we find out that no one has truly retired... and suddenly not only does the casino demand it's money back, but now another thief "the Night Fox" is beating them at their good targets.... Romance (a new one) and cameos by Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts (as themsleves) make it fun, while there is plenty of action around the globe to keep you interested. Pop the Popcorn, grab a seat on the couch- and try not to take it's "lack of living up to Ocean's Eleven" to seriously. This movie is still a good watch!
Three years after pulling an impossible heist of a three-casino vault Daniel Ocean's Eleven plus wife Tess have been found and fingered by Terry Benedict. Mr. Benedict has promised the provider of the information to show restraint and give the clan two weeks to repay him with interest to the tune of over $190 million. Without a job that can provide that kind of pay off, the gang must accept the challenge of premier thief Francois Toulour to see who can steal a famous work of art first and claim the title of greatest thief ever. If you want to see a delightfully inventive artsy masterpiece Ocean's twelve is the one for you.
Yes despite what you heard. The movie isn't half bad. Truthfully, its no ocean's eleven. But it isn't as bad as most people made it out to be. I actually purchased it. Its still the same cast and some additional appearances of A listers playing themself. Such as Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts? Yes.... Julia Roberts. You figure it out. In any case, it is a little over dramatic and less suspensful as the first. But nothing can be cooler than vegas and andy garcia right? well its a good sequel. Sequels weren't meant to be good. They were meant to satiate the audience's need for more. This does the job. And I feel like its done. Please NO OCEANS THIRTEEN. PLEASE.... But I would recommend buying it if you have the first.
