Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dreadfully Boring
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThere is not much to say here, no depth, no point, just a bunch of well-known actors in a very fun casino robbery.8/10
View MoreClooney and company are a joy to watch, their gleeful chemistry almost oozing from the screen, and where the film takes inspiration from seminal works like 'The Sting (1973)' is in its frequent desire to bait-and-switch the audience, to keep them in the dark and gleefully surprise them at every turn. It's this aspect and this fun approach to 'Ocean's Eleven (2001)' that makes watching the film so entertaining, like an untaxing puzzle to be unravelled as it goes along, and its easy-going attitude makes for a laid-back watch with some twists to keep you on your toes and great character writing to keep a smile on your face. 7/10
View MoreThis movie game me a blast when i first saw it with my parents. But i was young and couldn't comprehend as much. The acting is impeccable, character development is excellent. The heist planning has an attention to detail that you don't normally see explained as thorough in movies. I have analyzez the heist, to see if there are any loop holes that i cannot explain, but i can't find any (other than the "pinch" is kind of fictional). Every character has a different personality and even if you think due to the large cast of actors it's going to be hard to present them all, then you will be pleasantly surprised that by the end you will be able to differentiate all of them. Dialogue is handled gracefully and further accentuates the marvel of the plot. Visuals are so good, direction is top-notch. The director makes you see only what you have to at each scene. It leaves you think about the others. The ending is unbelievable, you won't realize what you saw, how everything was executed so perfectly and your head will trying trying to wrap your head around how all of this worked. There's a positive vibe thoughout and this movie can be enjoyed with a partner or with the entire family. Overall beautiful film. The only thing i didn't like about the plot was the inclusion of Julia Roberts, as Clooney's love interest. I believe her character had more than enough screen time than necessary and wasn't that important for the story, but anyway i can neglect that. Rating: 10/10 - Masterpiece - Best heist movie I have ever seen.
View MoreOcean's eleven comprises of a heavy star cast and when you look at Brad Pitt , Julia , Clooney, Casey ,Garcia etc usually our entertainment standards are automatically adjusted to a very high level. I personally feel no one got a great story line to highlight their star prowess apart from Brad.Story is good but not so mind blowing where we cannot predict or else feel wow when all are revealed. Good film to watch with a light heart where there is not much to think or analyze after it ends. So the film ends and with it any emotion we had during the film. That is a low point in the story line as i believe.
