Summary: A great cast deserves a good film
Review: I was not really attracted of the great cast of this film (Clooney, Pitt, Garcia, Roberts... and a bunch of supporting actors). In fact, when you pick a handful of great actors, the movie becomes a overactuating one, even more if you don't have a solid and believable plot.But after watching it, I must say I was wrong. Ocean's eleven really goes well all along the film. It's easy to follow, enjoyable and actors do what they have to do. The plot is not only imaginative, but well carried on. But it reminds me "The Sting" (Paul Newman and Robert Redford) so much. The main couple of actors have the same role: both handsome and charming, Clooney acting as Newman (the real commandeer-in-chief) and Pitt acting as Redford (the right hand). And in both films, the bad is really, really bad!!! I should name it as a remake: it's the way you should plan a great robbery in the 21th Century, with the spirit of the 1930's.

Summary: I Prefer the Original But Also Like This Remake!
Review: Okay, I have to admit that I like the original Ocean's 11 movie better because I'm a fan of Frank Sinatra and I enjoy the cool late 50's early 60's vibe of that version and I liked the plot and the twist ending but I do like the remake Ocean's Eleven and think it is an entertaining movie and has a great cast but especially George Clooney and Brad Pitt and I enjoyed the cameos, especially the cameo by Holly Marie Combs. I prefer the original but I also like this remake and I'm looking forward to the sequel and I highly recommend this DVD. I didn't pay full price though and bought a used rental DVD and thankfully it was in good condition.

Summary: Colourful, Fun, Slick, Supurb - Great Re-make.
Review: A rarity - a remake that's better than the original. Eleven men led by Danny Ocean (George Clooney) prepare to rob a vault linked to 3 casinos in Las Vegas. His partners in crime include Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Elliot Gould, Caset Affleck, Matt Damon and Scott Caan. Also, the casinos are owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) who is romancing Ocean's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). Fun, engrossing, simply the most enjoyable film of 2001. It moves smoothly, the entire cast plays it cool and easy and Steven Soderbergh directs it with flair and intelligence. Yes, it's light, yes, it's a trifle but it's so fun! I really loved this film. Affleck and Caan are hilarious as bickering brothers. My only complaint - Julia Roberts (the only woman in the cast) is shot very cruelly. She's beautiful but her looks in this movie do not reach their full potential. Aside from that this is a fun movie. Just sit back and enjoy.

Summary: Dull "Remake" of a '60s Classic
Review: If you don't believe what a boring dud this is, look at how many used copies are for sale. Yes, Hollywood isn't betting on the fact that over 90% of people are stupid... they're BANKING on it! That's why they make this overblown (in this case with "pretty boys"), ultimately forgettable dreck. This "remake" has precious little to do with the original classic, other than that it's a heist movie. Do these twerps think for ONE insane minute that they are as cool as Frank and the boys?? I mean, Brad "Beaver Chin" Pitt in the Dean Martin role, and that sad*ss Julia "Canyon Mouth" Roberts in the Angie Dickinson part. Gimme a break!! Hey.... here's a good idea: Let's do a remake of "Taxi Driver" with Leonardo De Caprio as Travis Bickle. The producers should have given this movie an original title instead of trying to trade off on a flick that was, and still is, the epitome of "cool." This so-called "remake" is just a harmless yawn of a caper movie that'll be forgotten while the "original" will live on. Just like what happened to "Vanishing Point." I mean, who gives a toss about the 1997 Viggo Mortensen version? Oh well, everybody knows that Hollywood has run out of ideas..... and REAL stars!! Now it's churning out pig-swill for the masses. Stick to the classic!

Summary: Boring. 15th april 2004.
Review: I must of watched only 20 minutes of it, it was so boring. More of an adult film. I was dying to see it for ages then my dad had it for christmas. Really you can tell by reading the back of the box and looking at the box what it is about. More reccomended for older people.

Summary: Ocean's Eleven is genuinely cool
Review: Ocean's Eleven is cool. I don't mean in the "wow it's really great you should see it" cool. I mean -- it's cool. The movie is genuinely cool. Watching it, you are convinced you probably look cool. Walking around with the DVD, you can imagine it will help you pick up chicks (it won't). But still, you can hope that the coolness inherent in this movie to rub off on you. It's THAT cool. And with good reason. George Clooney. Brad Pitt. Bernie Mac. Matt Damon. Julia Roberts. That's a lot of slick actors in one package. Clooney plays Danny Ocean, a recently divorced, recently released from prison con man. His ex-wife, who he is still very much in love with, has shacked up with a real creep -- an arrogant man who puts money before everything else. Danny sets out to get back at him in a rather extravagant way. He gets ten of his old buddies together and they take on the most oturageous heist in history. The plot is about taking down not one, not two, but THREE casinos at the same time. It's full of manly, geeky fun. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously (how could it?), but the cast is obviously having so much fun that you can't help but enjoy yourself. I never saw the original -- but if it had half the charm this movie does, it must have been cool indeed. Carl Reiner is excellent as a grumpy old conman. Shaobo Qin players a convincing acrobat (who doesn't talk much). There's two brothers who bicker all the time and you can't tell if it's part of the con or not. In fact, the whole movie plays with the audience -- is it really a con? Because of its playful tone, you forgive it for fooling you more than once, sometimes with the same trick. The one weak point is Don Cheadle. He's a black guy playing a black guy with a...bizarre (Australian? Cockney?) accent. It sounds like me doing an accent. And I sound fake when I do it. There are a few other moments that dim the glow of this movie -- Maleficent pointed out that Julia Roberts can't walk like a lady and apparently either no one's telling her or she just doesn't care. She stumps around onscreen like Lenny from the Grapes of Wrath. It's embarassing. The director tries to compensate, but fails -- in one scene, she's supposed to be sashaying across the screen, but instead ends up gallumphing by instead. For such a pretty lady that's supposed to be a real class act, it shatters the illusion. But that's me being nitpicky. This movie is excellent. For any guy who has ever wanted to be cool...or in this day and age, isn't sure what cool is in anymore...this movie will help guide the way.

Summary: Good Caper film
Review: "Ocean's Eleven" is a movie more about the people who rob than the job it self. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is released from prison and immeadiatly goes to Las Vagas to steal from three of the richest casinos on the strip, all owned by Terry Bennidict (Andy Garcia). Along the way he assembles an impressive team to help him along. If you don't mind, I'll hit the highlights. First is Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) an excellent right hand man (though Pitt isn't as charming as usual next to Clooney). Then Don Cheadle as a British demolision expert. Matt Damon is good as Linis Caldwell, the only inexperienced, but undoubtedly skilled, con artist and pick-pocket. Elliott Gould is the financeier. The caper is pretty good, certainly outlandish, but not outside the realm of possibility (if you have a few million dollars to put up the cost.) Julia Robert's plays Tess Ocean, the real target of Danny's crime. This is funny and smart charactorization. Certainly better than the original.

Summary: A Perfect Cast...
Review: I normally am not a George Clooney fan - but in Ocean's 11, I don't even think about that. Everyone is perfect in their rolls. I love this movie - and the music from the soundtrack is so fitting, and just gets you so deep into the movie, it's fantastic. I'm glad they got away with the crime - now we can wait for Ocean's 12...how exciting!!!

Summary: I ilked it
Review: I liked this movie. I have never seen the original so I am not here to compare and contrast differences only to say that it was an enteraining movie.
The plot was a good one. The intrcacys of the script were well thought out and made sense, with lots of twists and surprises. What added to the movies entertainment value was the fact that along with all of the above it was funny and well acted. The movie never drags but one thing the viewer should be aware of is while it may seem the movie has slowed down and perhaps you can read the latest People magazine while listening, the details that take place can sometimes be important. So PAY ATTENTION this movie really doesn't drag the details are where you least expect them to be :) I recommend this movie as a keeper. I bought it on DVD and have watched numerous times (as oppsed to those movies you buy and only watch once which are actually a big waste of money).
