Please god no, one was bad enough.
The original was pretty dumb, but when you realize that it was basically an excuse for the rat pack to get together in Vegas, sell out shows, and party a lot the movie makes more sense. he he he The remake was entertaining, but the cast didn't have the same on-screen chemistry and the original. P.S. Anyone surprised that some of the late Mr. Sinatras friends haven't put out a hit on P Diddy and Ashton Coochie for calling themselves "the new Rat Pack". That really needs to stop. If that group was really cool, they would realize it isn't cool to bite a group name. |

Ocean's Eleven was a blast and I raved about it to my friends after seeing it. Then I went to see it again and was bored out of my wits. The coy cleverness of the film was gone. I recommend watching this film, but only once.
p.s. Ocean's 12 is a title almost as bad as Gigli. |

I can dislike Ocean's 11.
It was decently executed fluff, but I don't particularly like fluff, and there is more than enough of it floating around. No interesting character depth, no good humor, just scene after scene of Box-Office-proof cliches gauranteed not to confuse or offend. And it Also had Feedbag "The Horse" Roberts in it. That will kill every movie, except maybe one of those german domination/humiliation flicks. |

\ya know, I feel the exact same way. I bought Ocean's Eleven, watched it, and loved it. The second time, it was really boring and I didn't even want to watch the whole thing.

Brad Pitt's character seemed to have alot more to him then they showed in the film. Aside from the tattoo on his hand which you saw briefly, for some reason he was always eating something in every scene. Anyone have an insight to that one?

Meh! It was ok. Like everyone said, it was brainless fluff, but somethimes you can need a film like that. When you're completely wrecked tired, but don't yet want to go to bed, but don't have the energy to actually DO anything, a film like this can be good. That was my state of mind when I watched it, so I enjoyed it a bit.
At least it was well made, well directed "fluff", which is far better than the majority of such films. Meh. Ocean's Twelve however will suck without a shadow of a doubt.

Personally, I liked the modern Ocean's 11. The original wasn't bad either.
Not too sure how well a sequel would pan out, but I'll watch it at least once, maybe rent it...

I enjoyed Ocean's 11 - wasn't a cinematic masterpiece, but it was enjoyable.
Ocean's 12 though is a rediculously stupid title (let's hope it's a working title) and a sequel is a bad idea for this movie in the first place. It will flop. I'll still probably rent it once though.
