Ocean's 13 reverts back to the original style of heist and slick cuts and slick suits. The result is an entertaining movie and a great closure to the Ocean's series by Steven Spielberg. The gang are all back and this time bad guy Andy Garcia is the 12th member as they team up against bad banker Willie Bank played by Al Pacino. The plot points are similar to the first film and the result is an entertainer of the highest order. Check this one out if you've seen the other Ocean films. This is a good closure.

Much can be said regarding the problems with the two Ocean's sequels. They are gratuitous, seeking to indulge viewers in the personality traits and in-jokes we found charming in the first film, but which have now become overdone and drag down the films' humor. Premises and plot lines have become bloated and ever more unbelievable, crammed so full of twists and intricacies that any given detail is under-explained to the point of confusion.Generally speaking, Ocean's Thirteen is better than Twelve in all these respects. However, this one sinks to a new low: our heroes drug a woman (with pheromones) so she will engage in sexual activity with one the operatives and bring him into a private area where he can pull off a heist.In other words, producers hired just one woman actor--so that they could write a sexual assault plot about her. Be better, Hollywood.

Holds up well. Not as tight as the original because the original had surprise working for it. You know the formula now, so there is nothing for it but to sit back and enjoy the show.So we go back to Vegas, we leave the girls at home this time, and line everything up for exquisitely executed revenge. It's a lazier, less suspenseful pace than the first film. It's not the "if" but the "how" that matters, and what good lines characters will give us as it all goes down.I find I remember 13 a lot better than I remember 11 now. I like many of the scenes more, and I like many of the characters more. Ellen Barkin is a particular treat to watch. There is a lot of absurdest comedy, and lots of great, quotable lines. Music and visuals are absolutely top notch.No, I really don't see why the hate is so strong for this one. A lot of people didn't didn't connect with it. Pity.

The star-studded cast is back. I don't know the 13 and I didn't bother counting but if you've watched either of the first two then you're familiar with the main players.Ocean's 13 sticks with the same style and a similar storyline. This time they are back in Las Vegas and their motives for this job is different. I liked them being in Vegas instead of France and I liked the job being yet another casino other than a museum.You'll like Ocean's 13 for the same reasons you liked Ocean's 11, or even 12. All-star cast, the creative plot and sticking it to another unlikable guy.
