Ocean's 12 - Finally went to an opening night, again

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

You can see from the commercials that Benidict wants his money back, so Danny and the crew need to do another job.

Part of the fun of Ocean's 11 was seeing them being so cool, all the way through, so some of that was lost with the entire "we're scared of Benidict" factor.

Still a good flick if you liked 11, and I'll need to see it again to pick up on all of the twists.

I didn't like it. Yeah, the interplay between the characters was cool, particularly the cameo, which was one of the most well done cameos ever, but the plot line sucked.

I hate twists that you don't see coming because you don't have all the info. Its a cheap tactic in filmmaking.

Its like making a film where the killer is revealed to be someone that hasn't even been seen or discussed yet.

I'd only give it a 4 out of 10.

I didn't like it.

The whole time I was thinking that the old guy who bailed out was pulling some sort of con designed to make everybody rich again. Or perhaps he was trying to take all the money and be #1.

Anyway, I was disappointed at how things turned out. I agree with Leisher's comment about twists that come out of nowhere. Bah!

Bad sequal. 12 has absolutely no cool factor, which was the primary purpouse of 11.
