Like its predecessor Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve is a piffle of a caper, a preposterous plot given juice and vitality by a combination of movie star glamour and the exuberant filmmaking skill of director Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, The Limey). The heist hijinks of the first film come to roost for a team of eleven thieves (including the glossy mugs of Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, and Don Cheadle), who find themselves pursued not only by the guy they robbed (silky Andy Garcia), but also by a top-notch detective (plush Catherine Zeta-Jones) and a jealous master thief (well-oiled Vincent Cassel) who wants to prove that team leader Danny Ocean (dapper George Clooney) isn't the best in the field. As if all that star power weren't enough--and the eternally coltish Julia Roberts also returns as Ocean's wife--one movie star cameo raises the movie's combined wattage to absurd proportions. But all these handsome faces are matched by Soderbergh's visual flash, cunning editing, and excellent use of Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome, among other highly decorative locations. The whole affair should collapse under the weight of its own silliness, but somehow it doesn't--the movie's raffish spirit and offhand wit soar along, providing lightweight but undeniable entertainment. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com
Product Description
Crime comedy sequel. It's been three years since Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his crew pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) of every dime stored in his inpenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legitimate life. However, when someone rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He was his money back - with interest.

It's slick, it's fun, it's well-produced, it's well cast. Watch it for an hour or so's entertainment: shallow, not very meaningful, full of eye candy for men as well as women (provided you're not into female blondes), but enjoyable. Good if you're looking for a snack rather than fulfillment through film. Don't expect juicy steak -- it's strictly popcorn fare.

Beautifully shot all over Europe and an all star cast but to someone expecting the clever plotting and near-wizardry of Ocean's Eleven it is a sad disappointment. The various heists are not shown but described (leaving many questions as to 'how they did it' unanswered) and - without giving away secrets - the most clever theft is thrown away at the end in an unsatisfactory and unconvincing flashback.
It looks as though the actors enjoyed it but perhaps rather more than the audience.

Having a whole load of superstars is no guarantee of a decent movie. Nor is the fact the prequel was not a bad film.
Oceans 12 is disjointed, difficult to follow and throughly dull.
I may have missed a good bit, but unfortunately it sent me to sleep mid way through.
I didn't like it, but you probably guessed that!

Good
Just like the other two films. I personally enjoy the films and always watch them back to back. I think Clooney, Pitt and Damon are brilliant in them.

Disappointed !
After thoroughly enjoying Oceans 11 i thought Oceans 12 would be just as good as it had the same cast and the story was to pick up where the last one ended. Read more

If 'drivel' is a word to describe a film, then this is a perfect...
Ghastly beyond belief. The phrase 'style over substance' doesn't come close to describing the unintelligible snippets, jump-cuts or time-leaps that typify this clunker of a film. Read more

Ocean's Twelve Blu Ray
This film is 'ok'. It's not as gripping as the first in the trilogy, but was decent enough. Plot line wears a little thin, but I bought this to see the picture quality on blu ray... Read more
