Unrealistic but entertaining (SPOILER)

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2004)

Okay, I'll admit that I'm a big fan of star studded movies like Ocean's 12, especially since Catherine Zeeta-Jones makes an appearance. All she had to do is smile and she would get good reviews. George, Brad, Matt, Julia, Don, Casey, Caan, Bernie and co. come back for the long awaited sequel. Let's just say if you weren't a fan of the first movie, you'll be disappointed. They use the same kind of Hollywood wit and humor in this one. Andy Garcia's role has been cut down, which i think was a mistake, unless they are planning on a third movie, which is highly unlikely at this stage since they would end up repeating the same stuff. As expected, they finally find Rusty(Brad Pitt) a girl and of course she's the cop investigating the heist, making things more complicated. They use different angle shots for effect, which i don't think was achieved and there are more outdoor scenes this time which is a good change, but as we all know Europe doesn't quite look as glamorous as Vegas. It is good to see that there is more stealing in the sequel, but Terry Benedict wants his money back. I mean nobody's just going to let 150 million go. Which I think is the only realistic part about the movie. The cast overall did a great job on their part but were let down by a script with too many loopholes.
