Pleasantly Surprised!

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2007)

Well firstly, i've seen both of the previous movies and even though i don't think its a huge problem if you hadn't have done, i would have thought most people who would go and see Ocean's Thirteen would have seen the others! After having been a little disappointed with the second instalment and with so many prequels already released this year (ie. spider-man, pirates of the caribbean, shrek) getting mediocre (if that) reviews, i wasn't honestly expecting too much from this! However, i'm happy to announce that this was definitely better than Ocean's Twelve and even though not quite upto the original, it was definitely the film i have enjoyed the most so far out of the big prequels (mainly spider-man & pirates)! One major good point, which is the downfall of many of these big movies is that Ocean's Thirteen is not TOO long and doesn't drag on! Its got a good plot which uses all of the well-known characters in the best way (even though i would've liked to have seen abit more acrobatic stuff from the little Chinese guy) and its funny in all the right places! Witty, but not pathetically pointless! Again, its very clever with all of the gadgets they use in their plan and it kept moving which is what i hate most about certain films! Great cast, great acting and Matt Damons nose is hilarious!! Definitely worth a watch and deserves to do well! This is one film where the third outing hasn't been a let-down, so lets hope there are many more good sequels/prequels!
