Oh, I wish I had the 2 hours of life back

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2002)

I went to see Ocean's 11, and boy do I wish I had the $9.50 and two hours of life refunded. The film was boring, and the story or the "perfect crime" has been done to death. At least with the original it was entertaining. The original Oceans 11 all had criminals and con artists, that depended on each other to pull off this heist. The new Oceans 11 was a simple cakewalk on how to rob the MGM Grand vault. In my opinion the previews were better than the movie, at least they left some mystery and intrigue about this group. However, the story that was told was boring, and it was no more than a bunch of actors developing their characters very poorly. I was especially surprised by Julia Roberts performance, her character was especially poorly developed. Her performance was shallow, and there was a lack of history and future with her character. The one big problem I have with this film is that the ending is very vague, they leave it wide open for a sequel, which really disturbs me, if the first one was so badly done.
In closing I would like to let you all know that I would rather be nibbled to death by rabid ducks than watch this movie ever again.
