When Oceans 11 first came out, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a pretty good remake of the original with Sinatra and the Rat Pack. All in all, a good flick. Then Oceans 12 came out.
First of all, the entire feel and vibe of this one was completely different. The first one was all about the desire to screw over Andy Garcia, their overall goal was to get rich. 12 was centered on Andy Garcia wanting his money back after he presents proof they robbed him in the first movie.
So, the gang heads to Europe because they're on the radar in America. They've all spent the money they stole, and now they have to do a bunch of small jobs. At the same time some French guy is introduced as yet another villain. Soon he presents himself as the most gifted thief, and George Clooney is shit. Meanwhile, there's a backstory developing around Brad Pitt and Cathrine Zeta Jones, who turns out to be working for Interpol and is hunting the gang down. Most of the guys end up in jail, and it's just a countdown to finding out how they're smarter then everyone else including me.
If you really want to check it out, have at it. The French guy does some sort of break dancing moves to get through lazers and Julia Roberts impersonates Julia Roberts. In the end the gang wins, and soon there is a big party and now Pitt and Zeta Jones are together again. We find out her father was a thief and she just had Daddy abandonment issues. And it's not like 13 was great either. Oh well.
