Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
invisibleunicornninja This movie is clever with acceptable cinematography. Everything is done well. I just found it boring. Probably just me. I'd still recommend it if you like heist movies.
alcantaraj-16594 I was never interested in seeing "Oceans Eleven," though "Ocean's 8"'s release slightly made me want to see this film as well as its sequels. One boring day, I decided to watch and I had very low expectations. After watching it, I HAD A BLAST... at the film's 2nd and 3rd acts.Acts 2 & 3 - FUN AND SMART! The planning and execution of the heist was a brilliant ride from act 2's start to act 3's end. These acts were near-perfection! (Some parts were slightly boring)ACT 1 - The film has a lot of supporting characters which, sadly, meant a lot of dragged and sometimes uninteresting introductions to said characters. If act 1 was the entire film, I'd give "Ocean's Eleven" 4 stars. Thankfully, it's not.NOTE: Though the character introductions were too long and, at times, uninteresting, the actors did their best. Their on-screen charisma made these scenes slightly better.I still have one more flaw with this film: Julia Roberts' character. Despite her amazing performance, her character was just a plot device for Danny Ocean. Yes, a plot device is important but when a character is a plot device, the film shouldn't make you feel that said character IS a plot device.Overall, I had a blast with "Ocean's Eleven!"
betty dalton Lost count of how many times I have seen it. Enjoyed it everytime. Never mind the sequels, only "Oceans Eleven" is the real deal, the gem amongst ALL heist movies. With an amazing star cast featuring George Clooney, Brad PItt and Julia Roberts this picture is an actors walhalla. Splendid direction by the man who has got the best fingerspitzengefuhl of entire Hollywood, Mister Steven Soderbergh.Eleven men rob a casino. One of them has got a Ted Nugent shirt. That's the story. Will they succeed? That's the suspense. How do they do it? That's the brilliance of this masterful story. There are so many little subtle details that are eye candy that even after having watched it over 20 times I still get surprised by it. Those who wrote this story really must have had a field day, because the plot is simple but how the story is revealed to the public is very intelligent. Highly enjoyable twists and turns.Entertaining for the masses and entertainig for the movie critics too. It is liked by everyone. "Ocean's Eleven" has got it all. It is one of those classics that will stand the test of time. A movie that you can watch at any time, with anyone for every occasion. It is the ultimate crowd pleasing heist flick, but it is done so brilliantly, it deserves nothing but praise. And a good laugh!
CinemaClown Smart, stylish & sophisticated, Ocean's Eleven is a sneaky delight that brims with a fun vibe & moves ahead with a carefree attitude, is jam-packed with colourful set of characters who are expertly brought to life by its charismatic cast, and is all the more strengthened by the smooth chemistry they share with each other.The story of Ocean's Eleven follows Danny Ocean who, the moment he is out of prison on parole, begins concocting his next robbery. Needing a team of skilled accomplices to carry out his highly ambitious mission, he enlists the help of an old friend and puts together a team of 11 accomplices, all of whom must work together to carry out the heist successfully.Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film doesn't waste much time in setting up its premise and keeps adding new characters without slowing down the plot. Soderbergh directs each segment with a playful tone and keeps the lighthearted nature of the story alive at all times. The writing is sleek, witty & energetic although the central core of the narrative isn't strong enough.Las Vegas is captured in all its glory, thanks to its exotic shooting locations, well-carved set pieces, vibrant photography, swift camera-work, bright lighting, trendy costumes & numerous aspects that only help in uplifting the film's opulent look n feel. Music also carries a groovy element although it isn't anything memorable.Coming to the performances, Ocean's Eleven features a charismatic ensemble in George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck & others, with both Clooney & Pitt impressing the most. Bringing his charming screen persona into play, Pitt delivers a show-stealing performance but Clooney isn't far behind plus the chemistry between these two is one of the film's main highlights.On an overall scale, Ocean's Eleven is an enjoyable, entertaining & sufficiently satisfying delight that promises lots of fun throughout its 117 minutes runtime and, for the most part, successfully delivers it. The lack of seriousness only takes it so far and while it's certainly missing the element that makes a good film great, Ocean's Eleven nevertheless manages to sideline its shortcomings with a thrilling climax that lives up to its expectations.
