One of the worst movies I have seen recently. Oceans 11 was good. This... is not.

I think this is the worst film I have ever seen. The Slate review had it right. All smarm. Tries to be far more clever than it actualy is. A plotless piece of self-indulgence from start to finish, this is the only film I have ever considered I think this is the worst film I have ever seen. The Slate review had it right. All smarm.

The only reason I didn't was because I thought it had nearly finished..... it hadn't.… Expand

I was stunned at how unbearably dull this film was. Please do not think that the first film was good so how bad can the sequel be. Its awful. There are some talented actors on the screen, however all the wit and verve of the first film has I was stunned at how unbearably dull this film was. Please do not think that the first film was good so how bad can the sequel be. Its awful. There are some talented actors on the screen, however all the wit and verve of the first film has been removed with a dreadful script and surprisingly poor pacing and direction from Soderberg. Please avoid.… Expand

Ocean's Twelve has lost the main thing that made its predecessor a fun diversion - pace. In this sequel, nothing happens, and it happens slowly - it's only in the last fifteen minutes or so that anything makes you sit up and pay attention.Ocean's Twelve has lost the main thing that made its predecessor a fun diversion - pace. In this sequel, nothing happens, and it happens slowly - it's only in the last fifteen minutes or so that anything makes you sit up and pay attention. The returning characters are still pretty dull and under-developed, and the new ones are uninspired. The script isn't by any means awful, and stylistically the film is polished, but this doesn't make the film entertaining enough overall. The best part of the whole film is Don Cheadle saying in his cringe-inducing mockney drawl "the accent is crucial - the first thing people notice is the accent", and I sincerely hope this was a bit of self-deprecating humour on the script writer's part. In the end though, chief among Ocean's Twelve's crimes is not that it's boring, or empty, or even that the actors appear to be doing it purely for the money, it's that it is unashamedly smug.… Expand

Ocean's Twelve gives ammunition to those who are against the concept of sequels. It started out ridiculous, dragged quite a bit, became mildly interesting, became even more ridiculous, then was stupid, and then finally even more ridiculous.Ocean's Twelve gives ammunition to those who are against the concept of sequels. It started out ridiculous, dragged quite a bit, became mildly interesting, became even more ridiculous, then was stupid, and then finally even more ridiculous. The acting was once again fantastic but outside of a few main characters, none of the side characters seemed to get any further development or decent screen time. Bernie Mac and Don Cheadle especially seemed like almost wasted roles because they were both so underutilized. Yes, George Clooney and Brad Pitt got more screen time and Catherine Zeta-Jones got quite a bit as well but still, it felt like the great cast just wasn't used properly. The writing was the worst part though. It's almost like they said "hey, let's make a movie and then if the ending doesn't work, let's just make some stupid stuff up and if it doesn't really make sense or seem plausible, who cares, at least we get the ending we want."… Expand

Ocean's Twelve replaces the fun, simple plot of its predecessor with less wit and humour and a densely complex plot which confuses, rather than entertain.

A predictable sequel, given the box office hit. The first movie was light and funny, but this sequel is only light and boring. The clever jokes that I have observed before have never happened here, and the attempts to make it were so meager and thin that I cannot even say I found it funny. The script is another problem: the story lacks logic and coherence as if it were a collection of film parts without direct relation to each other. Steven Soderbergh assured the direction and, apparently, the accident as well. After all, he tried to hold the movie's steering wheel, but he had no strength to hold it. Natural consequence: A good part of the film is a disaster. The film has a lot of the cast of "Ocean's Eleven", which is to say that its filled with stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. But the overwhelming majority got lost in the middle of the script's confusion and probably regretted having entered the film (if they take their careers seriously, of course). Julia Roberts, who had already gone bad in the first film, was totally devastated here, and the same can be said of Bruce Willis in one of the worst performances of his long film career. Catherine Zeta Jones was not too bad but this movie didn't give her room to shine. Everything else has no relevance: the scenarios have gone unnoticed, the soundtrack has no quality etc. Everything has been relegated to the background and the public virtually notices any positive point. Far from having the interest of the first film, this sequel was run only to get box-office money.… Expand

Classic example of an unsuccessful and not very credible sequel. The story is not very exciting and the film puts too much meat on the fire. The stellar cast does not suit a film like this.
