Ocean's Flotsam!

Rating: 1/10 (5 December 2005)

I will make a confession here to my fellow posters: I have not seen this film. Another confession: Unless I can watch it for free(relatively speaking), I don't even intend on renting it. A last confession: I take back what I said about even considering watching it for free (relatively speaking). I do not intend on wasting my time (which IS money) on this piece of garbage.
I also want to apologize for the statement I am about to make. I TOLD YOU SO (even though I didn't).
What were you expecting from a SEQUEL to a REMAKE? And Hollywood wonders why it can't keep audiences anymore! How desperate can you get? How pathetic that Hollywood can't come up with a script that's original anymore? I saw a statement from a fellow poster saying to the effect that O-12 didn't have the same {fill in the blanks} as the "original". The simple fact is that the "original" was not the ORIGINAL. For that, you have watch the Rat Pack version and have real fun with a movie.
From what I can gather from the "plot" (for lack of a better description, and garbage always pops up in my head), the gang is anxious to reclaim the money to give back to Benedict. Why be anxious and why panic? Okay, pardon me, but didn't they rub Benedict's nose in the proverbial merde in O-11 redux? If I stole $160 million from a guy and humiliated him in the process, I would have asked said victim that if he can't stop a bunch of misfits from robbing a well guarded casino, he might have a tough time convincing the Nevada Gaming Commission to renew his gaming license.
I would also make it plain to the rest of the conspirators that in the interests of self-preservation, somebody who is prone to gabbing will be dealt with severely, to the tune of a horrible death and natural forfeiture of their share in the loot. I would have a few candidates in mind: The bickering brothers would be first on my hit list, followed by Matt Damon (just because I don't like Matt Damon), followed by Julia Roberts (what woman can keep quiet for ANY reason, let alone for stolen loot?, PLUS see reason for Matt Damon), followed by the Asian acrobat (sorry, no offense, but if I can't understand what you're saying, how I can trust you?), followed by the script writer for this debacle (he/she gets the most horrible fate, no residuals! Wait, that may not actually turn out to be punishment after all).
