Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2005)

I've put Ocean's Twelve on my "must see" list immediately after seeing Ocean's Eleven. Today, I have to regret it. I expected some very good acting, but to be honest, I liked only Carl Reiner's performance. The others? Poor. Matt Damon as a silly thief-n00b, George Clooney and Brad Pitt with no style and elegance of professional thieves which were the things I liked most in the first movie. Yes, Catherine Zeta-Jones and her godlike-instincts were just another cliché in the film, but it was Julia Roberts who seemed absolutely worst to me - Especially in the part involving Bruce Willis. I only watched the TV and thought for myself: "Oh my god! The woman CAN'T act!" The plot itself is messy, many times leaving the viewer to ask himself: "WTF is going on there?". And the end? OMG didn't you all see this stupid happy-end hundred, thousand, million time before? Didn't you find the "surprise" in the end predictable? If you have seen Ocean's Eleven, avoid this film because you will start to dislike even it when you see O's Twelve. If you haven't seen O's Eleven, go and watch it, but every time your hands will be approaching O's Twelve in the DVD lender's store, remember me and take anything else instead. Have you seen The Godfather yet?
