The best sequel to a remake since "Father of the Bride II" (I mean that as a compliment)

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2004)

"Ocean's Twelve" is an interesting film to consider, and has many reasons to like it and many reasons to dislike it. Pros include the superb cast and the breezy and entertaining way in which Steven Soderbergh shoots the film. The Cons center around the plotting, which is often hard to believe. Whether or not you like the movie depends on which you value more: superficial entertainment value and beautiful people, or a plot (if the latter, you must not enjoy many movies). I personally was very entertained by the movie. The cast was what made the film, especially Catherine Zeta-Jones, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts. Zeta-Jones is the main newcomer, and does very well, not to mention being extremely sexy. Matt Damon and Julia Roberts provide the most laughs; Roberts in particular has a hysterical sequence where her character Tess is called upon to impersonate Julia Roberts. I give the film an 8/10. If, while promoting "Ocean's Twelve", Soderbergh in taken by a particular location and decides to do "Ocean's Thirteen", count me in.
