Ocean's Thirteen Review Summary
Ocean's 13 is "first and foremost a buddy film with style." This film and its predecessors harken back to the feel of the original Rat Pack film in 1960, "being all about atmosphere." Ocean's 13 sets the atmosphere right back where it should be ... in Las Vegas. While George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt return for the third in the series, many reviewers note that Julia Roberts is missing from Ocean's 13, but they enjoy the addition of Al Pacino. Most Viewpoints moviegoers feel that nothing could measure up to the first Ocean's 11, yet this one is much better than Ocean's 12. Overall, "nobody makes crime as funny as handsome men in suits."

The film opens in the dark with the silhouette of a major character. From the body language, we all know which cast member it is. In the middle of a heist, he gets a call and drops everything. They all drop everything because something's up and it is really important. This is first and foremost...

After the recent success of the remade "Ocean's" films, I guess it was only a matter of time until they made a third installment. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon return with the same crew to pull another stunt on an unsuspecting Las Vegas casino owner. This time around, one of Ocean's (Clooney)...

The gang is back in Vegas for Ocean’s Thirteen, and the results are more satisfying.... 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 one...

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, "surprise" road blocks, Rat Pack comraderie.... 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 way for this finale that has more... 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 is hard to follow. There are...

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 more about each character.
