Rating: Summary: Surprisingly BORING! Review: Despite the star-studded cast this remake drags, big time. I went to see this in the theater and desperately want the [money back] I wasted on this movie back. I didn't think the plot made a whole lot of sense either. So I strongly suggest you skip adding this flop to your video collection.
Rating: Summary: Rob the Las Vegas casinos? I dare you! Review: Yes, this is a remake of the classic film of the early sixties which starred Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. et al. As anyone else who has seen the original film, I couldn't help but make comparisons to the two films. The Las Vegas of today bears very little resemblance to the town depicted in the original film; so although the two flicks share the same name, the plot of the modern film and the ideas presented there are quite fresh and original. If you've had unfortunate gaming experiences in Vegas or anywhere else where there are casinos, chances are you'll want to cheer on this new generation of thieves as they attempt to accomplish what in reality is just about impossible. If you live and work in Las Vegas or are a frequent visitor there, look carefully at the people in the background; you may see someone you know personally.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Ending Review: The film was a little stale in the beginning, but by the end of the film, I completely adored it. The film happens to be chocked full of beautiful men, which doesn't hurt either. Brad Pitt and George Clooney do a great job as the center of the film, being the ring leaders. I happen to think that George Clooney steals the show. If you plan to watch the film, the ending makes the entire film worth it. I don't want to spoil it, but it's really, really good! Overall, the film gets a 4/5 because of the somewhat boring beginning.
Rating: Summary: Another "Sting" movie Review: We've seen it before but usually done better, we are teased with a few short scenes of Julia Roberts but nothing to wait for
Rating: Summary: An unexpected delight in a sea of dissapointment Review: With so many remakes of movies coming out these days, one such as Ocean's Eleven is a breath of fresh air. With a perfect ensemble cast, they play off each other in a way that only seasoned actors or the very lucky obtain the chemistry to do. It's watchable again and again as well, even when you know the ending, and the DVD extras are among the few that I've actually watched.
Rating: Summary: Good film, but not faithful to original Review: The film itself was pretty good. I really like the plots that are intricate and have plans that are very complicated. But, for this particular film, they should have ditched the girl and just stuck to the story. The story and plan were complicated enough that they didn't need to waste 30 minutes with Julia. More time should have been spent explaining their plan.As far a fathfulness to the original. Vaguely. Still a good movie though. Pitt and Clooney were great. They should do more work together. I am going to get the original Sinatra film and watch it again. That is a true masterpiece.
Rating: Summary: Slick but Shallow Review: This is what passes as entertainment today....Boring....so shallow they couldn't even drown in it....And I want to know who crowned Ms. Roberts....beautiful? Maybe,in another life...but honestly, she looks like she's been hit in the face with a frying pan!.....Save your time and money!
Rating: Summary: A whole lotta somethin' goin' on... Review: ...but you'll be hard pressed to figure out what it is. I found this movie to be OK, but rather hard to follow. I enjoyed the ending, when they actually pulled off the heist, but for the most part I found it slow and uninteresting. The actors were good, but there was no development of the characters...I had no idea how or why these guys knew each other or wanted to do this job together. Plus...the heist seemed a bit too easy...nothing went wrong, for goodness sake! Overall, it's an enjoyable break for a couple hours, but it's certainly no classic.
Rating: Summary: Great Fun Movie Review: Ocean's Eleven is funny, fast paced, clever and bound to entertain. Ocean's group of extremely funny and likable characters use a card like stratagy of bluff and double bluff to catch you out at ever corner as they plan to rob the richest casino in Las Vegas. With an all-star cast that certainly doesn't let you down Ocean's Eleven is unmissable.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: This movie is awesome. It is about Daniel Ocean getting out of prison for 4 years for being caught in his last robbery. He gets a crew of 11 that atempts to robb an MGM casino in Las Vegas run by Daniel's ex-wife's (Julia Roberts) boyfriend. A good ending that will make you laugh, and scenes that will give you thrills! Check it out by renting it, or just buy it for fun to see if you like it. Check out my other reviews
