About as good as the original!

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2004)

Ocean's 12 is on par with Ocean's 11. Both movies jump around on the emotional level. The viewer finds parts of the movie boring and would rate Ocean's a 3. Then other parts of Ocean's become a 10. Once the viewer averages Ocean's 12 out the overall rating is a 6 or 7 out of 10. The story is weak in parts, and strong in others. The Julia Roberts bit is the highlight. Bruce Willis is great. The director's 70's or late 60's European feel is too much. Looks like a cheesy film they show on the showcase network with a low budget feel. The use of camera angles, and trickery takes the focus off the film. If a film lacks budget they use these tricks, and Ocean's 12 has no reason to use this. The acting is excellent considering the script. Brad Pitt was misused, could have added more for his character. My dad felt the same about Ocean's 12. I would rather go see Flight of the Phoneix. Wait for video or on demand. 7 or 6 out of 10.
