An embarrassment

Rating: 2/10 (2 May 2005)

"Ocean's 12" was a horrible movie. It was what I consider a typical big budget Hollywood disaster. The story was lame, the acting was poor and what the hell is the appeal of Julia Roberts. Her lips are swollen and misshapen from collagen injections and her hair is thinning and limp looking. She looks tired and worn out not the beauty she is supposed to be in the movie. The trick of her playing herself was a ridiculous, self serving plot twist that was there only for the celebrity name dropping crowd. Bruce Willis should be embarrassed with his role in this crap. Catherine Zeta-Jones was pleasing to look at but her role and acting were on par with an after-school special. The plot was convoluted and supposedly full of twists. Here's a secret, plot twists must make sense. You can't just tell a totally different story after building up the heist so much. Why not have one of the, wasted, peripheral characters, (everyone was wasted and peripheral except for the big 3 names), invent an invisibility potion, drink it and just waltz in and steal the item. It would have made as much sense. The story told by the Night Fox and his laser dance was laughably lame. It ranks up there as one of the most ridiculous scenes I have seen lately. The camera work was amateurish and repetitive and the screenplay was written by a committee of no talent children. It was an awful, awful movie and should be an embarrassment to all involved. Please, please miss it.
