Summary: A movie that earns 11 out of 10 stars
Review: This movie is near perfection, and I mean it. This is near perfection. There's a perfect blend of comedy, romance, action, tension, drama, and plot twists. Of course this is all highlighted by tremendous acting. An all star cast has been gathered together for this movie, and they truly shine. We all want to see Danny Ocean successfully break into a Las Vegas vault with his band of buddies. It's one of those scant few movies where rooting for the bad guy is required. A simple plot ends up creating one of the better movies I've watched in a long time. Though the DVD is decidedly lacking in special features, the movie more than makes up for it. Everyone can enjoy it, buy it today.

Summary: Great film with lots of good characters
Review: I never saw the original, so my brain didn't have a preconceived notion of what to expect. I really loved this film and I have seen it more times than I should have. It has great characters and some interesting plot twists. This is a very funny film that is very subtle. It also has layers that you uncover after watching it a few times (how many times is Brad Pitt eating when they introduce him???)

Summary: Worth adding to the library
Review: Great general action/casino/robbery movie to add to the collection for those rainy nights in when you don't want to go to the video shop.

Summary: julia roberts singlehandedly turned it into a chick flick!
Review: even though she is the only woman in the cast and has a minor supporting role, that she gets mad and leaves the owner of the 3 casinos and why, is rediculous! That the owner doesnt just have clooney killed for robbing the casino even though he is supposed to kill anyone that crosses him and their famillies etc, is silly! other than that the plot with the specialist crooks is interesting.

Summary: "Unless when that hand comes, you bet big."
Review: It's almost impossible to imagine this movie being done by the ratpack in the 60's.
But it was, and whatever was left behind was left there for good reason. The idea and the story did survive however, and thank goodness Steven Soderberg took it upon himself to deliver this burst of pure fun and joy.
The list of actors alone is enough to raise the eyebrows of film-buffs and casual movie-goers alike. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts are certainly well known for their abilities to carry movies themselves. But what happens when you add supporting actors like Don Cheadle and Bernie Mac to that list? Well good acting, that's what! A true ensemble if there ever could be, and these folks know what they're doing.
Billy Ocean (played by George Clooney) is out of jail and out to rob casinos in order to win back his ex-wife (played by Roberts). What we get along the way is a questionable chain of events that is just too much fun to bother questioning. This movie is the equivilant of a basketball team moving the ball to the basket and riding that wave all the way to the championship.
Charming, charismatic, smart, and funny. That's the movie Ocean's 11, not George Clooney that I'm talking about.

Summary: Still remember it because of the look, style and story
Review: This film has a special feel, look and style perhaps due to Steven's direction, its beautiful cast and performances. The plot is not easily forgotten.

Summary: in response to charlotte's review
Review: I hate to tell you this, doll, but stuffing your review with cliches does not make for a great read. With the most flexible language in existence at your disposal, you ought to be able to do better than that. There is so much fantastic movie criticism to take your cue from - read Pauline Kael for starters - so that you can really communicate what was so great about a movie.

Summary: I am impressed ! !
Review: What a pleasant surprise. I am not a fan of the cast. They are not my cup of tea. But, this movie is great. The cast and their interaction is wonderful. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon are all really good. The plot is simple; Pull off the biggest heist in the most heavily guarded vault known to man. . . In Las Vegas. Daniel Ocean, played by Clooney, is fresh out of jail and eager to strike it rich by robbing the man who is now seeing Ocean's former wife. Ocean and his cohorts, if successful will split evenly amongst them better than one hundred and fifty million dollars! The movie moves well, suspense is held to a minimum. It doesn't drag at all. It was well worth the money, and I highly recommend it. epc

Summary: Watchable Flick
Review: We all know what the movie is about and I'm looking forward to the sequel. Quite a bit of it was far fetched but still entertaining and filled with wonder of how and if such things are possible. I didn't care for or understand the need for Julia Roberts' character and I never found her attractive (what's with her lips?). And another thing: I can only recall a few scenes in the movie where Brad Pitt's character, Rusty, isn't eating something.
