Ocean's 12 - what did you think?

The Julia Roberts bit left me thinking they took asn alright joke too far.
The rest of the film was quite good, not great. More jokes than last time and a couple of plot twists here and there. I hated the way they kept on using a silly zoom-right-into-their-face-until-you-can-see-up-their-nostrils technique.
All in all a good film but seemed to be a little too self indulgent.
 
Despite it being a sequel you have to forget the first film.
It's nowhere near as good but it's not abysmal.

It's fun enough, the Julia Roberts bit is silly. There no real fun in the planning like we had in the last film (how on earth was OT 2 hours long?) but the cinematography is very good and theres some fun bits.

I was expecting the man at the end to be Michael Douglas though ;)
 
I too found the Julia Roberts storyline tedious. Nridiculothing more than a ridiculous attempt to explain Juila Roberts pregnancy.

This aside, I found the film ok. It lacked the excitement and originality of the first film but there were a couple of quite amusing scenes.
 
I went to see it over the weekend with my sis :) - and we both thought that it was really good, I liked the whole *Tess/Julia* thing, and found it very funny. I read some of the reviews and was not expecting to really like it, but I did! :)

Cheers,

I saw this last week and was expecting it to be pants, but on the whole I thought it was quite good. I agree that the Tess character bit was poor. Don Cheadle was hilarious, though - I'm a cokerney don't you know, 'Gor Blimey Guv'nor, Apples and Minced Pears (I actually laughed out loud when he spoke). His accent hasn't improved in the last 3 years!

Oh and Elliot Gould had the most excellently huge glasses! :D
 
it was enjoyable enough, but not as good as the first one. it was a bit convoluted at the start, and th eaudience did seem to be as involved as in the first one, as we didn't really know how they did it until the end - and the big reveal at the end was really pretty lame i thought.

and the tess/julia thing - surely BW would have figured it out? they were stretching it a bit i thought.

Did anyone else think Julia Roberts looked a bit ill?[/QUOTE]

I did must have been the only woman to loose weight while she was pregnant she looked dreadful ;)
 
I thought it was a great film that wasn't as good as the first one. I enjoyed all of the actors, and I thought that it was funny when instead of all the oter things he's got to worry about, Danny Ocean worries about how old he looks. The only bit I didn't think was good was at the end when Danny said he was "meant" to get caught and that he had already stolen the thing.
