Disappointing Muddle - MINOR SPOILER

Rating: 3/10 (11 December 2004)

Whilst of course this movie is meant to be light hearted and does not require viewers to think too hard, overall for me, Oceans Twelve was a little too smart for itself by half. The story line seemed to twist and turn so much it became almost undecipherable. The story line plot holes, inconsistencies and ultimate unbelievable coincidences and explanations all contributed to a feeling of not so much a light hearted romp, but rather a muddling mess. ----SPOILER ALERT---. This was summed up at the films end, with not only a very confusing and under explained outcome of the movies central heist, but the way Catherine Zeta Jones' character decided to throw her whole career away (and indeed her whole characters purpose in the film) based on one quick conversation at an airfield was for me just plain silly.
On the positive side there were few funny moments in it (particular from Matt Damon) and the cast looked great, especially Catherine Zeta Jones who was simply stunning  I'd love to see sequel just to look at her again. Unfortunately however only a rating of 3 from me for this disappointing muddle.
