Boring!!!!

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2005)

Ocean's 12, doesn't even come close to comparison with its prequel Ocean's 11. Ocean's 11 was funny and had an absolutely amazing heist, which the guys pull off amazingly.....
Ocean's 12 begins, as all of you know, with Terry Benedict, tracking down all the members of Ocean's 11 (who now have the most bizarre jobs), and asks them to pay his money back with a heap of interest..... An anonymous call tips him off about the identity of Ocean's 11, and he pays them a visit and gives them 2 weeks to pay him back.....
Danny Ocean feels he needs some time off, so they decide to goto Amsterdam, since they were well known in the Us, to pull off any major heist....
Amsterdam incidentally is, the place where Rusty's ex girl friend, an ex-cop stays.... They do a starting job, which they feel would pay them off a little bit and buy them some time, but when they open the vault they find their object of interest already stolen and a tape stating, the fact that the night fox has been before them........
Meanwhile Ocean's 12, had been visited by Rusty's ex, and they are furious about it.... Anyways they meet up with Nightfox, and they find out that he had given the tip to Benedict, since his master made a mistake to judge them as the best thieves in the world.... His master incidentally was the legendary, Van Der Woude, so the only way to make sure who is the best, is to loot a common object.....
Next the movie rolls on, and apparently it seems that everything has gone wrong as Ocean's 12 fail to make the deadline for the job....
But, apparently all is not what it seems, as, it appears the Nightfox got the replica, and Ocean's troupe of men got the real thing.......
The drawback of this movie is the lack of a proper high tech heist, true Nightfox did good, but we want to see Ocean's 12 do the job right.... Also, the story seemed to drawn and laid off, it lacked a proper solidity and was pretty translucent..... The music was good, and so was the dialogs making you laugh in short bursts, there is more interaction between, the characters, and now that you know them better.... Linus Caldwell,Matt Damon's character plays a more important role in the movie and he brings about most of the fun..... Julia Roberts' performance is totally appalling, primarily due to the script, where she is made to play as Julia Roberts, imagine that!!! Bruce Willis gives an appearance..... but the most important of all is Catherine Zeta-Jones........
If there was anyone in this movie who you'd be watching for it is her....... She was superb, with not only her looks, but also her acting was well measured, and up to the mark..... End of the Day she rocked.....
But overall the movie was disappointing....
an average 6/10........
