Wow - That review sure is brief... I liked the first one quite a bit, but for some reason I don't have much interest in seeing the sequel.

Huh?

Has Hollywood always been this oversaturated with unnecessary sequels? It sure doesn't seem that way.

I liked The Whole Ten Yards.

And from what I saw in a friend's away message last night or this morning, Ocean's 12 isn't good. =(

It's not good.


Pros: Locations in Europe are nice. Star Wars fans will recognize the Lake Como scenes. Topher Grace's cameo is the best part of the movie.
Cons: Too much pointless dialogue.
Too disjointed.
Too many holes.
Not enough of the gang in action.
Don Cheadle is totally wasted in this movie.
You could argue that many of the others are too. Catherine Zeta Jones gets as much screen time as anyone else, in fact I would go so far as to say this is her movie.

Im so tired of recycled concepts. Its like no studio being able to come up with something remotely fresh or innovative. Heck, it does not even have to be that original really, just make some kind of spin or angle which make us feel like we have not seen the movie 50K times before.

Even given that, I'd wager it could have been a better movie if they did something from scratch instead of slapping on a familiar name for recognition.
