I feel like the answer to the question... Are George Clooney and Brad Pitt the coolest guys around has been satisfied.Yes they are cool, they do look good in suits, and Brad Pitt is awesome but seriously I don't need a rehash of a rehash of a rehash to help me know those facts.
I will admit the movie was fun, the heist grand, the bad rich guy truly evil but I was also tired of all of this before it rolled out before me. Heist movies work when there is some unexpected wrinkle that jumps right off the screen at the end making you feel both excited and dumb for not seeing it earlier. But Oceans 13 didn't have that...the surprise ending didn't shock and awe.... It made me what to smack George and Brad across the face. (Not really...those guys are awesome and Brad Pitt is the coolest guy around {see Fight Club} but figuratively I wanted to ask then why they spent energy doing this when they could have done something great and original) You can only drop 1 or 2 hints about what might happen, not 20.
Seriously guys please no more Oceans...make something awesome and original. I would even take a remake of an older film, just not a remake of a movie you already made 7 years ago.
Recommendation: If you love Brad or George you will like it. If you are expecting a great caper movie rent Oceans 11, Thomas Crown Affair, Confidence, or Heist. I don't to but I'm giving it fourDacks. I still wish I was Brad Pitt.

This film could have been absolutely horrid, and I still would have liked it better than the 2nd one, just because it didn't have Julia Roberts in it.
Agreed, the second film went downhill once Julia Roberts appeared. Me and the wife enjoyed the film, I think mostly because they got back to why the first one was so succesful
