OCEANS 13 is too long, boring, complicated, hard to follow, and has way too many actors in it. You don't know who to watch on screen. Pacino, Damon, Pitt, Clooney, Andy Garcia, the dame. It was a big disappointment and the scenes were so dark (the photography) that you felt like something must be wrong with the projector in the theater. There were a couple of cute moments but not enough to make this a four star film for me. Better luck next time. If there is a next time.

Falls flat
rating: 2
Sure it looks like Clooney, Pitt and Damon are having a good time, but this one trick pony has been a rotting carcass for some time now. Nothing in this movie is believable. Willie Banks should have been on the look out for these guys the minute he thought about crossing Reuben. No way a man of Danny and Rusty's thieving statures would be able to even walk into a casino. That town doesn't play. Despite a weak plot and bad acting Ocean's 13 is nothing more than sleek man candy and I'm glad I didn't pay a dime to see it.

Best of the bunch
rating: 4
Everything here works well, if you don't think about it too much (or at all, really). Just sit back and enjoy the silliness. This is great fun, plus it has Al Pacino and Eddie Izzard. Cool.

Ocean's 13 is a lot better than 12.
rating: 5
Ocean's 13 is a lot better than 12. The only reason 12 isn't too good of a movie is because the plot's confusing. It's hard to follow. 12 is hard to follow because in 11, they showed you the plan, then they showed the execution of the plan. In 12, they show you the execution of the plan before they show the plan itself. Not only that, but the plan they show the execution of is a fake one. You have to watch it more than once to fully understand it. I've done this, and now I've realized it's actually a pretty good movie.
Anyway, 13 gets back on track by showing the plan as the movie's going along. This makes it much easier to follow. The first half of the movie is kind of slow and a little boring, but the 2nd half makes it all worth it. Basically, the plot of the movie is that Reuben is partnered with Willie Bank to open a new casino. Bank double-crosses him and takes it all for himself. Danny and crew get revenge on Bank by first reversing the theory that the house always wins. In order to do this, they rig a bunch of the major games in their favor. Then they steal Bank's 5 diamond awards for the final blow. The way they show the "house losing" is awesome. It's kind of like one of those songs that builds up to a cool ending. I'm surprised that this movie is getting such mediocre reviews because it's pretty good. Also, Tess and Isabel are not in this one. Danny explains why in the beginning of the movie: "It's not their fight." I would highly recommend this to anyone regardless of what the other reviews say.
