Ocean's Twelve is Less than Ocean's Eleven
11 of 19 people found this review helpful.
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.
