Oceans 13 - I just saw it

[Soph]

Great movie if you enjoyed the previous 2 or at least the 1st one. I like them all. Look for the morphing of mugg shot scene...It's funny. And a couple of great one liners by Clooney and Pitt at the end were priceless worthy of SF 'roasting' humor.

It was ok. It picked up steam near the middle, but it just didn't have enough energy, especially compared to 11 or even 12.

 

[east hastings]

so many plot holes! it's pretty fun if you don't pay attention, but if you like your movies to make sense..

I've heard bad things.

I was planning to go watch it tomorrow, but if it is like you say, i'll better waitn until somebody lends me the DVD...


I found Ocean's 12 messy and not at the same level as 11

I enjoyed it. I thought it was far better than 12, but not as good as the original. The wardrobes were interesting to say the least. Pacino's choices were pretty stunning IMO.

It was fun. You def have to go in suspending all belief in reality as the main "exit plan" scenario is so far fetched that you just have to accept it and go on the ride

Nice to see the Nightfox back, even tho he's hardly given any credit for being one of the top thieves in the world, considering how played he gets.

If you've seen 11 and 12, might as well finish the trilogy

Yes, all the heists are as likely as Paris Hilton becoming a nun.
I just like the humor, in jokes and witty banter.

Yes,the NightFox went from being a 'God' thief with class to be a complete stooge. They dissed his character hard.

Yes, that was a funny scene. I also enjoyed that they had the confidence to drop subtle little jokes that some people might miss in various places without feeling the need to be overly obvious in "flagging" them.

Case in point: When Damon's character begins to reluctantly read aloud the letter Don Cheadle wrote to Elliot Gould, he bungles it by reading, "As the band wrote, . . . ")
That one made me chuckle.

The scenes at the Mexican die factory were funny too, in an obviously silly way.

I often find Pacino over-acts too much for my taste, but I thought he was good in this.

On the whole, as others have said, it was an enjoyable movie if you just go with the flow and don't devote too much energy to trying to analyze the "realism" of the cons.

"Are you in yet?"

"I hate that question."

Haha, yeah that joke was amusing... First there was a chuckle from the audience, then a few moments later laughter as the crowd 'got' the second meaning.
