Ocean's Thirteen Reviews

Steven’s Soderbergh’s movies reviving the general concept of Lewis Milestone’s 1960 Rat Pack comedy Ocean’s Eleven are all about atmosphere. That atmosphere is best labeled “cool”, and it is truly cool because they don’t appear to be trying off or working too hard when they are actually quite complicated and expensive productions that must take a lot of effort to achieve. But one important factor in the formula was missing from Ocean’s Twelve that may explain its drop-off in box office pull: Las Vegas. — — The gang is back in Vegas… read full review »

I was definitely excited to see Ocean's Thirteen...on the way to the theater at least. Now, I'm a true lover of movies. I try to find the good in any movie, even if they are indescribably bad. With that said, I was somewhat let down by this movie. And I think I'm the only one, since all of my friends were praising it. I just didn't get the feeling that it was an Ocean's movie. It felt like something new, which was nice in a way. It's a new spin on the same old "robbing the casino" bit. The plot is Daniel Ocean and the rest of the gang, from the previous two movies, plan to get revenge for… read full review »

Ocean's 13 pretty much was a waste of valuable time. Not even adding Al Pacino to the cast was enough to help this movie.  In fact, the only thing that would have help to improve Ocean's 13 was different script altogether.  lol … read full review »

The third movie in the Ocean's series delviers exactly what I expected it to and nothing more.  Once again we watch these cool cats pull off a thrilling heist with charm, style, and humor. — — The premise behind Ocean's Thirteen is that the cadre of high class crooks lead by Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is back in action.  This time they are out for revenge against casino owner Willy Banks (Al Pacino) after Rueben Tishkoff (Eliot Gould) is swindled out of his share of the casino.  A fairly typical caper movie unfolds from there with the usual mix of Vegas style,… read full review »

It wasn't horrible... I'm glad I didn't pay full price for the movie...lol..It did have a little creative twist to it..just when you thought they couldn't,wouldn't make another movie...they got an all star cast together and did it!...It was o.k. I give it a 7… read full review »

— It's good to note that sequels are not always as good as its predecessors, its could be down to the fact that the experience involves watching so many A-list stars having a whale of a time, whilst you sit at home bored senseless. This time the last inclusive heist finishes the trilogy with a smooth and slick close. Ocean's Eleven was a grand affair, new styles and overflowing with cool that really brought back the classic hustling movies with a touch more modern crust. — — Ocean's Twelve felt like...well...futile! Incomplete and a fairly uninteresting stop-gap to make… read full review »

Ocean's Thirteen has disproven the theory that sequel movies are usually not that good.  This sequel has include its previous all-star cast and added even more, i.e. Al Pacino. — The characters in this sequel have deepened their relationships with each other and join together to avenge one of their team members after he has suffered a debilitating blow from a major Las Vegas casino owner.  It is not about money this time as much as it is about revenge. — Ocean's Thirteen is just as action-packed as the first two Oceans; however, it is so action-packed sometimes that it… read full review »

this was a very enjoyable film.a complex heist movie that is fairly easy to follow.this time the ocean crew decide a revenge plot against a greedy casino owner(pacino)in response of setting the tables straight for their mentor(gould).the whole cast is back and all their roles are limited to a few key scenes each.with a large cast,it is well spread evenly.at times you must pay close attention to whats going on to follow the stories events as they are played out,but otherwise is simple to see.the greatest thing about this movie and the characters is that it points out that not everything is… read full review »

While the plot was in keeping with the oceans tradition of keeping you on your toes and surprising twists, it felt like the actors didn't put as much into this movie as past performances, and Al Pacino's performance was a large disappointment, not because of bad acting per se but because he just wasn't putting his all into it, the acting was mediocre for him, and it just wasn't what i was expecting. As usual, there are many good quips and one liners, and plenty of amusing references. the crew is back (well, most of them anyways) and ready for revenge after one of their own gets screwed… read full review »

If you watch Ocean's 13, chances are you've seen the first two. I think the third one proved to be immensely better than second movie. However, it is extremely hard to beat an original, and Ocean's 13 proves to be no exception. While it re-introduces the characters to a hotel/casion break-in, it lacks in character depth and overall substance. Everybody seems a little more superficial, every problem they encounter is breezed over rather than actually "figured out" like in the first movie. That being said, it is still a good movie, but I would only recommend it to anyone who is obsessed with… read full review »

The first film in any series seems to always be considered "the best" by viewers, but why?  Because the characters are all new.  As an audience, we're just meeting them for the first time, which makes all characters interesting.  The problem with sequels is:  How do you keep them interesting? — Ocean's Thirteen delivers...in spades.  New villains to loathe.  New cons to plan.  Old villains to thumb our noses at.  In the series so far, I like 13 the best.  The gang is smooth, in their Vegas Cool-style, and three movies in, we're still learning… read full review »

OK this is pretty good for the third time around. I really loved the fact that all the main actors were in this movie. I do miss the two leading ladies in the movie but I guess you have to take what you get with the mention of their names. The fact that they are doing something to help one of their one was pretty good feeling. I liked that they have a wide view of thinking and planning it all the way out at the begining of the movie. I was surprised that I did like this movie so much. I was not excepting the third one to be as good. Guess I got something extra when I found this movie to be… read full review »

I wasn't expecting much from this threequel - Ocean's 12 was dry, dull, overly complicated and underwhleming.  Oceans 13, I'm pleased to say, is none of these things.  An all star cast that is larger than ever, but somehow manages to keep each of its characters unique and distinct.  The plot twists and weaves through each of them, but you never (well, almost never) get confused about what is going on or whose job it is to do what.  The rapid pace is kept throughout the movie, and it doesn't lose steam.  Plus the cinematogrpahy is wonderful, the colors vibrant and lush… read full review »
