Summary: IT Was GREAT! Beware of Bad Reviews
Review: ... I come to tell you if you like movies such as snatch, thomas crown affair and mission impossible this film is for you. Its a mixed of them all. ... It was great. Characters where funny and entertaining. The plot allowed you to get involved. Throughout the film I keep asking myself how, why and saying that was cool. Oceans 11 is about ripping off the town that wins no matter how lucky you think you are....Its a group of pros planning and pulling off an intelligent heist. You will be satisfied. The DVD has a great look at the movie making of the film. Picture quality is somewhat good. It has a dark smokey feeling which I guess is the casino aspect. Sound is also good. At times I had trouble focusing in on the movie becasue of the picture but I still enjoyed the film.

Summary: Quick moving and exciting
Review: I thought this movie would be dull because of all the big name actors involved but it turned out to be a quick moving and exciting movie with humor. The actors didn't step all over one another trying to out do each other. Major of the cast had small meangingful roles. I enjoyed the performances of Brad Pitt and Andy Garcia best.

Summary: Don't throw this one in the Ocean
Review: Ocean's Eleven is one of those rare movies when just about every star in Hollywood gets together to have fun and make a good movie. With a cast like it had, there was no going wrong here. Even if a script is light and weak and unbelievable, if you have good acting, it can save the movie. That's exactly what happened here. If there weren't such big name stars, the movie would have bombed. The whole idea was outlandish and pretty far-fetched. All the actors did a terrific job, as always. The only waste of a character was Julia Roberts. I think that they could have expanded on her role and made her character more interesting, and in the end, it would have made the movie better. Steven Soderbergh does a good job behind the camera. He set a tone throughout the movie and stuck to it. It brilliantly unfolded before your eyes with only a few small glitches. I didn't like the story line between George Clooney and Julia Roberts. It made the movie more of a cliche. Oceans Eleven did make an impact and is a great movie. 4 Stars

Summary: Classy Remake...Las Vegas Caper is a HIT!
Review: This remake of Ocean's Eleven stars George Cloney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, BERNIE MAC, DON CHEADLE, Carl Reiner, Julia Roberts and a few other famous faces. My only gripe is that with the fantastic acting abilities of Bernie Mac and Don Cheadle...their roles could have been expanded more. But at any rate with a starring line up like this and set in Las Vegas (my favorite city of lights and action)...how can this not be a hit? Well, it is a hit! You will want to watch more than once. This classy caper introduces Danny Ocean with a plan to steal $150 million from the Bellagio Casino & Hotel vault. In order to pull this master plan off, he needs the help of a fixer, pickpocket, blackjack dealer and flim flammer. Also, the owner of the casino is dating Danny's ex-wife. Is the heist about the money or revenge? You will be highly entertained as you watch this master planned heist unfold in the midst of high tech equipment, the magic of Vegas and those beautiful water fountains dancing in front of the Bellgio Hotel. Will they get the jackpot?

Summary: The Style and Perfected Atmosphere of a Symphony
Review: In my opinion, Soderbergh's job with this film was as flawless as a motion picture can be. All possible loose threads are tied by the picture's end, and the attention to character and prop detail in the movie are quite wonderful. The film possesses a stylish, lavish ambiance which truly provides for the feeling of a symphony delivered via a witty heist picture. From the perfectly matched jazzy music of the larger film, to the elegance of Dubussy's "Claire de Lune" woven throughout, the film truly boasts a unique attention to musical style as a means to convey a central aspect of the atmosphere of this film.
The characters themselves seem perfectly fitted to their roles as well. Although, as one reviewer correctly points out, the film does not contain "action" persay, the lack of this aspect is more than made up for in the expertly defined character creation and witty script. The dexterity of this cast in character acting is dauntless, which is probably a good thing considering the clout of the names in this film in the acting world.
The plot, although perhaps far-fetched in areas, is really quite complex, and demands respect for the minds who were TRULY capable of creating such an intricate screenplay.
Although the film is, and never will be, an award winner, I must assert that this is the greatest and most cleverly designed purely entertaining movie to come out of Hollywood in quite some time. Soderbergh has it!

Summary: News At Eleven
Review: "Ocean's Eleven" spends too much time and emphasis on the high-tech heist, at the expense of a great cast and location. I do have to give one star to the all star cast, particularly to George Clooney as Danny Ocean. He and Brad Pitt work well together, and he has a strong onscreen chemistry with Julia Roberts. Matt Damon is in way over his head and Carl Reiner is, sorry to say, too old to play a convincing part. The second star goes to the location, Las Vegas, which is not shown nearly enough during the film. The best Vegas scene involves the gang watching the dancing waters in front of the Bellagio hotel, as the camera pans from one crew member to the next. This movie takes itself much too seriously, unlike the original. I give the third and last star to the funniest line of dialogue, which occurs near the end of the film. George Clooney has just been released from prison, wearing the tuxedo he was arrested in. Brad Pitt takes one look at him and says, "I hope you were the groom." George replies, "Ted Nugent called. He wants his shirt back!"

Summary: Superstars + heists + casinos= Fabu
Review: First things first, when you put this movie in your DVD player and sit down to watch it....don't even try to make comparisons with the Rat Pack original. This movie stands out on its own, and there are several reasons why it should.
Reason Numero Uno= This movie has a stand out cast which just also happens to hold a good chemistry. George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, etc.. All are like old friends exchanging witty zingers and having a good time. It makes you want to have a good time too. Reason Deux= The plot is fun, and also complicated. The heist is well conceived and enjoyable to watch play out. Besides, everyone loves watching how theives get away with this stuff! Reason three= Basically, the movie is just plain cool. It has a style and flair, and it's a good movie. There's just one drawback.... It's a little bit slow moving at times. SO while it is an excellent movie, it's not one that most people are going to want to watch over and over day after day, though once you get involved with it....it's easy to do.

Summary: Why does everyone like this?
Review: This film was neither interesting nor entertaining. It was just boring. The scenes were not exciting, the jokes weren't funny. Julia Roberts, who is talked about in the film like she is the most beautiful woman alive, seemed fairly ugly in this movie to me. The characters were hollow and uninteresting. Some have said that they liked seeing how it all came together at the end, and I did too, but not nearly enough to make me like this awful awful movie. I went to see this movie expecting to see a movie that wasn't good but was entertaining and fun to watch. It was not. I repeat, it was not. -One last note: The coloring irritated me. There were no particular colors or changes in coloration throughout, nothing done with the color that was consistent at all. After Soderbergh films like Traffic and Erin Brockovich this was something I was looking for. The only element of consistency I saw was that in every scene, the colors present were intensified. The contrast increased...
