A big comedown from Oceans 11

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2014)

Now Oceans 11 was a huge surprise to me and I absolutely love it meaning I was so looking forward to this but I was so disappointed with the sequel. This film is three years after the original with Tony Benedict being angry about his financial loss forcing Danny and his gang to perform another heist to get his money back. With the rest of the crew they plan a way to outsmart a shadowy thief in a battle of wits. Now this has an even larger cast with the majority being good with Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt and Vincent Cassel shining but with a few disappointments from the original cast. To be honest the story of Oceans 11 wasn't superb but this story sucks, it has no substance and has plot points that ruin the film for me and make me not really interested in the third one. The script is alright but once again it is nowhere near the level of the first and even though there is some funny dialogue I was slightly disappointed. Also being away from Vegas wasn't as good as this film and took some of the style away from the film, but the style is still pretty good cause of the lavish locations. This film is a lot weaker then the first film and is plainly average in every way.
