    this film is more character-driven, which allows for a more improv, comedic feel. Ocean's 11 was more central to the heist, which allowed the movei to focus completely on the gizmo's and gadgets, plus the in's and out's of the robbery. In essence this are two different types of movies, character vs. plot, but the same fun feeling is back.

    The poor reviews on this movie reflect the IQ of our culture. This movie was so well done I think it confused the less than bright and so...they hated it. You have to pay attention throughout this excellent movie in order to "get it". Too much thinking makes the viewers with a room temperature intelligence quotient tired and more excited by their laundry than with a brilliantly written dialog. If you're someone who likes mental excersize, see this film. If not, stay home and try to step up your reading.… Expand

    I didn't like the first much. I loved this one. It was sprightly, funny. It didn't bother itself with setting up an elaborate heist, knowing that any elaborate heist in a movie will end up feeling false, or like it's been done a dozen times. Here they're just having fun. And you hate them for being so pretty and getting paid so much for having so much fun. But then, you're laughing too.… Expand

    Okay. I really can't take this. Too many people hating on this movie. Ocean's Twelve is an excellent sequel, and an awesome movie in it's on right. Great directing, writing, very interesting cinematography, and once again, the cast really mesh well together. The story is just as good, if not better than the first. It never takes itself to seriously, which is a definite plus. You just kind of sit back and enjoy watching what happens to the 12 next. It's just a geniunely fun and smart film. Period. Stop nitpicking at things that really aren't there, and just enjoy what is.… Expand

    I was very excited to see what this movie would bring due to the fact that all of the initial cast would return. That's what made the movie, besides Pitt and Clooney's fantastic on-screen chemistry.

    I cannot believe the low rating for this film! This was the most enjoyable film of the year. Apart from a shockingly cringey appearance of Julia Roberts as herself this sequel makes for an excellent view. The plot is complex, but well explained, comical, without being cheesy. This film collects some of the finest acotrs of modern cinema and yet allows all of them to simultaneously shine in the same movie. GIVE THIS FILM A CHANCE WHATEVER YOUR FRIENDS HAVE TOLD YOU!… Expand

    Even frothier and more frivolous than the first movie: It's a heist picture so laid-back and unconcerned, even the heist feels like an afterthought.

    As soon as it's over, and you find yourself back in the harsh light of the workaday world, you'll be hard-pressed to remember what happened. Except that you'll remember enjoying yourself - immensely.

    Isn't just a double whammy, it's a whammy squared - a goofy, stylish heist movie that'll steal moviegoers from other pictures.
