Ocean's 11 - Julia Roberts = very good movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2002)

You probably already know this but I just want to express my positive opinions about this remake. This film was the best multi-star casted movie I have ever watched. Most movies with this much star power only relies on it and forgets that theres more to making movies than casting. Ocean's Eleven exceeds those expectations and achieves the most important things. It first of all has a well executed plot, secondly it has believeabilty in plot as well as characters, and finally achieves the most important thing which is to entertain the audience and avoids insulting the intelligence of the viewer. It doesn't require over-the-top stunts and explosions to thrill, doesn't need to jump off cliffs, get chased by avalanches, or integrate phony martial arts sequences. However Ocean's 11 doesn't get and 11, or a 10. It is a good movie, well put together but it seems to fall short from greatness just a little bit. The talentless phony Roberts ruins it for me. She proves the point once again that anyone could have played her part and that theres no need for her.
8.5/10
