Best movie ever!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The sequel Ocean films to the original 'Eleven' each had a more complicated heist scheme, and it seemed like this one went on forever. Quite honestly, there's no way any of this could have been pulled off for real, so your best bet is to sit back and enjoy the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas and witness the impossible. The players this time around weren't in it so much for the money, but to help out fellow member Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) who got screwed out of his share of the new Bank Casino by insidious owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino). With honor among thieves, the Ocean crew set about their task with multiple complications intruding on their original plan.Not only do we have most of the original cast back, but Danny (George Clooney) and the boys find themselves in a tough financial spot, so upon the advice of Linus (Matt Damon), they have to resort to the unthinkable. They approach former target Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) for a hefty thirty six million advance, having to settle for a double payback and a wrinkle involving the theft of Bank's 'Five Star Diamond' collection. That in turn sets up the return of master thief Francois Toulour (Vincent Cassell), at which point, if you haven't seen the prior film in the series, one would be left pondering who the shady character is. I have to admit, I was kind of looking for Julia Roberts to show up in the story, even as a late entry, but that never happened. It was cool however how the script matured Matt Damon's character over the course of the three Ocean films to make him more involved in the planning of the heist. His "see you when I see you" at the finale left things ripe for yet another sequel, but topping the escapades in this story border on the impossible, so we'll probably have to leave things as they lay. Even so, it was an entertaining run, as long as you don't take things too seriously.

After the events of the previous films the gang are now going straight. One of them, Ruben, is even starting his own casino in Las Vegas… unfortunately his business partner Willy Banks cons him out of his half of the business and seems to find it funny when Ruben collapses and is hospitalised. Danny Ocean decides that they must get back together and take Banks for everything he's got. This won't be a conventional heist; they intend to rig a number of games so that the casino will have to pay out a massive $500,000,000 on its opening night. Since it is so personal for them they are also determined to ensure that the casino doesn't win the prestigious 'Five Diamonds' award for this casino and steal the four diamond necklaces he had made to represent the awards won by his other casinos. Obviously none of this will be easy.This is a decent enough conclusion to the Ocean's trilogy; I liked the fact that it went back to its roots in Las Vegas without becoming a remake of the original film. The plot is obviously very far-fetched but that isn't really a problem if you can suspend your disbelief. There are plenty of good laughs, most notably their efforts to make sure the casino doesn't win the Five Diamonds by tormenting the reviewer and the way the man responsible for infiltrating the factory that makes the dice for the casino to rig them starts a strike over workers' pay, nearly spoiling the gang's plans. There are moments of tension as the plan moves into operation although I doubt many viewers will think they might ultimately fail. Most of the regular cast make a welcome return although Julia Roberts is missing, which was a pity. Al Pacino is suitably unpleasant as Willy Banks; a character it is easy to dislike. Overall I'd say this wasn't quite as good as 'Eleven' but it was a definite step up from 'Twelve'; definitely worth watching if you enjoyed the first film.

It seems that the "Ocean" trilogy only works when they are in Las Vegas, the city where it all began. In fact, it was hard to do worse after a second movie where everything went wrong. This film maintains the previous cast but focuses the plot on a quest for poetic justice. In fact, the thieves will no longer steal for selfish reasons, but try to punish a villain who double crossed Reuben. A plus for a plot in which the scriptwriter's delirious imagination nearly knocked it all down with such a creative and elaborate assault plan that it lost its credibility. The idea was to recreate the first film on an epic scale, but it was so obvious and exaggerated that it didn't work out. Even with this problem, the film can be digested and we can enjoy and be entertained by it if we don't think too much about that. The cast is the same as the two early films, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt leading, but they do almost the same thing they did before, so there are no surprises or remarks about them. On the other hand, Al Pacino really knows how to look bad as a villain and it was great to see him in another evil role. Vincent Cassel confined himself to an unfortunate cameo, quite unworthy of his talent. Steven Soderbergh, who seems to have recovered from the crash that was "Ocean's Twelve", directed the film fairly regularly and close to what we might expect from him: good camera angles, big care with scenery and the use of city landscapes, some visual beauty that looks good when its brightened by a decent soundtrack, as was the case here. And so ended this trilogy, without glory but with its honor washed.

Ocean's Thirteen is is the third film in the Ocean's franchise, and appears to be better than it's predecessor. The film includes what audiences enjoy, where the crew rob from the rich and donate to charity.Similar as the other film's in this series, Clooney and Pitt merely walk through the movie without ever being forced to really act. They simply smile and pose. The film is done cleverly and the heist towards the end is well executed and thoughtfully entertaining. There is no nudity or vulgar language. Despite the location and these guy's profession, none of them are womanizers. And towards the end, there is even a scene in this movie where Pitt and Clooney get teary-eyed while watching Oprah (who also makes a cameo).
