Summary: Don't make them like they used to.
Review: If only they made movies like this today. It is a wonderful movie and story. Filled with humor and action. How can they even try to compare the new one to the old one. I don't see how they can sleep at night by giving it the same name. Even packed full of the top stars of today it can not stand up to the original.

Summary: OK movie, but great cast and extras
Review: Some people may be tempted to see the original "Ocean's Eleven" after seeing the enjoyable remake starring George Clooney. Frankly, the 2001 remake has a better script and direction. However, anybody who likes the Rat Pack will likely enjoy this movie a great deal. Just seeing so many of them together is cause for celebration. The only other movie starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop is "Sergeants 3" (1962), and "Ocean's Eleven" throws in Vegas, Angie Dickinson and Akim Tamiroff to boot. The plot concerns a group of army buddies lead by Sinatra (Danny Ocean) who get together to rob 5 Vegas casinos simultaneously. The plot is fun, and the chemistry between the stars is terrific - it really feels like a bunch of friends getting together and joking around. The movie even has an amusing twist ending. Sammy sings an original song, "Eee-O 11" and Dean sings "Ain't that a Kick in the Head?" (both of which are available on the CD "Eee-O-11: The Best of the Rat Pack"). Best of all, the DVD is packed with extras, including a commentary track with Frank Sinatra Jr. There is also a clip from the 1970's with Frank Sinatra hosting the Tonight Show and Angie Dickinson as his guest. They talk about making this movie and it's great seeing them talking about the behind the scenes stuff. There is also a mini-history of each of the 5 Vegas casinos where the film was shot. Overall, this DVD is terrific because of the cast and the extras...enjoy!

Summary: Gave it a shot after seeing the remake
Review: I absolutely loved the 2001 version, so much so that I wanted to check out the original. I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that this movie will not appeal to younger viewers (40 and under), the same way that it appeals to their parents or grandparents. I didn't see the "coolness" or "swagger" that is associated with the Rat Pack. To me, they all looked the same, dressed the same, and acted the same. Not only that, every time I opened my eyes from the slumber that this movie induced, someone was singing yet again. For me, that was the killer since crooners have never been my bag. Anyway, I'm sure there were some redeeming qualities that I missed while going in and out of sleep...but people with no prior exposure to Sinatra and company should be wary.

Summary: Rat Pack Classic
Review: Don't buy this expecting a musical... it's just a classic film by the rat pack-though it does incorporate several of their songs. Fun movie to watch, with a hard hitting twist ending. If you like the rat pack, this is one to check out!

Summary: Not What You Would Expect.
Review: I confess that I'm not a huge Rat Pack fan. That cool gang of stars was way before my time and I don't agree with the ethics of how they "ruled" things in Hollywood. Nevertheless, I do admire Frank Sinatra as a very talented actor and Dean Martin wasn't too shabby either, as long as he was completely sober or totally drunk. With that said, I was severely disappointed by the first Rat Pack movie, 1960's OCEAN'S ELEVEN. The movie was slow, the action limited, the dialogue almost lame. Neither Sinatra, Martin, or Davis give much of a performance and that triumvant is completely outacted by Cesar Romero, who gives one of the few believable and enjoyable performances in the movie. Not only that, but after sitting through almost two hours of waiting for the patriotic paratroopers to get their dough, the film ends with a sour, almost cheesy conclusion. The film is worth watching if you're a movie buff for it's historical value (it was the first Rat Pack picture). It's also fun to compare and contrast this picture to George Clooney and Stephen Soderburgh's remake (a far better and much more rewarding film). Other than that, don't listen to all the hype about this being the ultimate heist movie because it's not.

Summary: Cool Cast but not Rock Solid Film
Review: the Cast is cooler than the film on a whole.finally saw it this past weekend.I enjoyed the Cast&there cool Vibe but the Film was more a Showcase of Coolness than any overall Film Substance.Sinatra is cool here but He has had far better overall Performances.the Rat Pack though have Pressence&that alone makes any film with them all in it worth a peak at least.

Summary: Rat Pack 'Nuff Said!
Review: If you are thinking of comparing this movie with the recent Ocean's Eleven with George Clooney and company, then don't. Although the recent release uses some of the names from the movie as well as some of the "content", this movie stands on its own. It's a fun movie to check out. If you are looking for action, then buy the George Clooney and company version that will be out later this year.......

Summary: THE FIRST AND BEST RATPACK FILM
Review: It was so great! I am a big Ratpack fan and I am very well pleased. It is about a man named Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra)who gathers all his friends to commit the robbery of the century. It has laughs, thrills, and a great ending! It contains two memorable Ratpack songs (Sammy Davis Jr.'s "Ee-O Eleven and Dean Martin's "Aint That a Kick in the Head") Special Features are: A map of vegas that contains commentary and making of the film, a clipof the Tonight Show with Jonny Carson with guests Frank Sinatra and Angie Dickinson,cast and crew bio's, and you can watch the movie with commentary by Frank Sinatra Jr. And Angie Dickinson. Enjoy The Movie!

Summary: Eh.
Review: I was dissappointed in the original Ocean's 11. I expected much more. There were brilliant moments. The ending was one of them -- but it was a lot to sit through to get there. Sinatra and Martin were dry, and Sammy Davis, Jr. was way under-utilized. Peter Lawford was excellent as the rich kid, and I think gave the strongest performance. I enjoyed Cesaer Romero as well. I much preferred the remake of this movie.
