Why did they bother?

Rating: 4/10 (3 June 2020)

The only reason I felt compelled to keep watching this movie is that fact that its quite well known and the actors in it are all pretty good (minus George Clooney). But did they really need to drain every last drip of enjoyment out of the films by producing another Ocean's? Just another classic example of US producers making crap movies to draw people into get as much sales as they can. This film had no originality and seemed exactly the same as Ocean's 11, what was the point of making a copy? Things always seemed to go perfectly for Danny Ocean and the whole criminal world was centred in on American white boys. I'm glad more recent movies have branched out into including other parts of the world in a genuine way, unlike the racial undertones in reference to Shaobo Qin's character. It reminded me of movies like Transformers where the robots landed by chance in USA, bearing in mind 70% of the earth is water. I feel like this movie would've been better if wasn't just trying to take the piss the whole time and replaced the smug criminals with people that actually seemed like they could pull it off. I don't really get why this movie series has become famous, other than the fact that it has Clooney, Pitt, and Damon altogether on one screen.
