I'd say Ocean's Twelve is a decent film in my opinion. But here's one major issue I noticed.I feel like the reason why this movie didn't do as well as Ocean's Eleven was because the story focused so much on the romance between Rusty and Isabel. The audience were expecting to see more of the crew to carry out a clever heist and steal the most valuable item locked inside a fancy location. Sadly, it was a lot less than what we wanted.

Ocean's Twelve is the weakest film in the Oceans trilogy. However, despite the move to Europe, this film has most of the ingredients the first one had, making it still an entertaining viewing. It just didn't feel right when watching it, but does become a key part of the continuous storyline that plays throughout the three films; making it a must watch for fans of the first. I have to mention the Julia Roberts/Julia Roberts scene was just bad. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but the fourth wall break was unnecessary for a quick laugh that really just throws the film momentarily off par.

The soundtrack and foreign settings are grandiose enough to be eye- catching, but the most profound element for me here is the layers of satire and puns that take a few watches to catch fully. What could be more tongue-in-cheek than Julia Roberts portraying Julia Roberts? The reason why I think many were put off by this movie, is the very reason I find it so enamoring; the dialogue and plot points in the film give off an excessive feeling of premeditation, but this allows it to reach greater heights than films that attempt to impose as organic or biographical.

he cinematography was excellent, the cast as strong as ever, and the characters beautifully deepened. It wasn't as good as Eleven, and to be honest, I was a bit bored. It wasn't until Julia Roberts took centre stage and the plot got more humorous, that things really picked up. But the story wasn't as exciting or satisfying, and at the end I felt like they'd summarised the action rather than shown it; and thus it felt more lazy. I'm not a fan of Catherine Zeta-Jones, and I was hesitant to see her performance. But I was pleasantly surprised and her performance was decent. I found myself rooting for the thieves which I know isn't quite the right thing to do ;) After all, they are criminals, and I guess it's slightly worrying that the audience is being led to be on their side. Just a thought.
