Hello there!

I won't go into the details of each movie, as they are following same type of scenario. This will be a general discussion of the 'whole thing'.

So here we are: main caracter out of prison, joining his old friend at an underground spot and kicks his butt at poker. Sounds kind of cliche, but 12 hours after he's out of prison he wants to rob a casino... [with the help of his old friend, Brad Pitt]. You would think it's because of the money, but it's not. They set up a team, you guessed the name [if you didn't please sign off this forum, and don't offend me with your presence]: OCEANS 11 .

The whole intrigue of the movies is simplistic, BUT there are many details and with my so-so english capacities I couldn't grasp half of the reasoning behind the strategies and tactics of our main mastermind George Clooney. Most amusing thing about all of this is that the audience doesn't know what will happen during the robbery: it seems [almost in all 3 movies] that "here you go, it's over, they're gonna get caught", but by some sort of really weird manipulation they always get what they want.

All of the logical and techie stuff apart these movies are amusing because of the characters, so I think that if you get the ocasion to see one of them (it doesn't matter in which order really), and you like it, you'll like the rest of em'.

7/10

:idea:

PS: I shall add that all three of these movies are quite funny at some moments but aren't qualifiable as a comedy or something. It's action mixed with humor but you won't be laughing for 2 hours... :)

Exactly. Pacino is great, but meh.

I agree 100%. Though 13 wasn't nearly as good as 11.

IMO, Ocean's 11 with Clooney was nowhere near as good as the original Ocean's 11 with Sinatra and the Rat Pack.
