Lives Up to Hype and keeps up the standard expected!

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2007)

All of the big sequels which i had expected to be great or better than the films before were not(especially pirates 3:probably the most disappointed i've been about a movie!).But,the films i expected less from where much better than expected(e.g wedding daze).Oceans 13 was one i expected less after the very disappointing show from the sequel Oceans 12.But,i walked out of the movie extremely happy and satisfied and grinning like a Cheshire cat.The films cast is all star and everyone gives their performance an extra oomph(favourite is Al Pacino).The Film has a borderline lengthy running time of 123 mins which glided by.Compared to Oceans 12 which only has an extra 3 mins more than this which felt like 4 hours!.Its a very close second place in the trilogy for me just narrowly better than Oceans 11.Just 11 had that little extra.My only problem is i think there is a big gap which is left with cast who did not return for this installment(i'm Talking mainly about Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones).It didn't ruin the movie but thats how i felt throughout!Overall i think the film was Brilliant,Witty,Stylish,Slick,Hilarious,Thrilling,well acted,(like all Oceans films) with beautiful locations and set-pieces,very well executed and plot to boot.I will probably see it once or twice more because it is fantastic and i love it!
