Ocean's Thirteen - 5/10
It was entertaining. I wanted to stare at the screen for 2 hours, be interested in what is going on, and be satisfied with a tricky finale. Well, I got 2 out of 3. The thing about the first two movies was that despite all of the planning, you never knew what was going to happen and you sat there trying to figure out until it actually happened. This movie does not stand on ceremony - it explains everything first and then you see it go down. Only a couple gags are dropped on you as "Ohhhh" moments and nearly all of the humor is useless without intimately knowing the first 2 movies.
As I sit here thinking about the movie (a movie I saw with the specific intent NOT to think about) I begin to realize how simple-minded it really was. Like a joke you laugh at and then a few seconds later realize it was about you. "Hey!"
