"Plot confusion and lazy pacing subvert this film's entertainment potential."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

2.5/5
"fundamentally weak material, even discounting the cacophonic title"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

68/100
"That Steven Soderbergh is able to make a borderline-engaging flick out of such a flimsy story is a sign of his skill."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

68/100
"Post modernist fluff and nonsense: Beautiful, but vapid."  Cinemania  Dan Jardine

3/5
"All of the Personnel: A Fraction of the Fun"  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

3/5
"Twelve may be nowhere near the level of its predecessor, but it still works as a great ball of fun."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

2.5/4
"...the banter feels authentic..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"So full of shameless vanity that each ticket stub should come with a mirror, a make-up case, and a high-priced plastic surgeon."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

2/5
"(...) sinceramente, el espectador se da cuenta cuando un director talentoso hace algo con desgano, por el mero hecho de cumplir."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

B
"It is funny, but not AS funny; it is surprising, but not AS surprising; it is good but not AS good."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"Instead of delivering an even modestly clever riff on the heist genre or worthy follow-up, they are be-boppin’ and scattin’ all over themselves and the audience."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

B+
"Pure arrogance, taking its predecessor's success as license to do absolutely, unquestionably whatever the hell it wants."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2.5/4
"Lo único que se ofrece es el carisma de sus estrellas, poco más. "  Doncinema.com  Flavio J. Arosemena

C
"Thinks it's hip, but its old-fashioned, anything-goes attitude is less engaging than vaguely obnoxious...far more fun for the performers than the viewers."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"It's a lark to watch this top-drawer cast strutting their stuff in such a playful manner."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Pleasantness and affability reign supreme in Steven Soderbergh's sequel to the remake of Ocean's Eleven."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/4
"designed to constantly evoke sparks and tension, particularly in its dry comedy, but nothing ever never quite catches"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4/5
"Sassy, classy con flick sequel is like jazz improv from a room full of pros -- smooth, stylish and swingin' fun."  Netflix  James Rocchi

2.5/4
"A self-indulgent lark if ever there was one. Lucky for us Steven Soderbergh is at the helm."  Perihelion Journal  Jay Antani

2.5/4
"Meets its snappy predecessor head on and wilts in comparison."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

6/10
"It's a throwaway movie, a harmless time-waster, but it'll make money, and moviemakers and viewers alike will most likely have a cheerful time with it."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

"There are some good character bits here, and the same sort of loose, smart patter that worked so well in the first film."  Pajiba  Jeremy C. Fox

7/10
"It's all lightweight fluff, to be sure, but it's fun, harmless, and, for me, completely engaging fluff."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

7/10
"Same cast, the same crew, the same budget, and nearly the same story as the 2001 blockbuster-remake."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

1/4
"There’s so much mugging in this film that I kept checking my pockets to see if my wallet was missing."  Slant Magazine  Keith Uhlich

3.0/4.0
"Aren’t these guys and gals just enjoying themselves on our dime and calling it a movie? Sure they are, but it works again."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

2/4
"It’s an absolutely unnecessary sequel that fails to keep the buzz of the original going."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

C
"...an insult. It's like making moviegoers pay for someone else's overseas frat party"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

4/5
"En el universo de un ladrón, nunca nada es lo que parece, ni siquiera los personajes."  Cinenganos  Luis Martinez

2/5
"This lackluster sequel was surely much more fun to make than it is to watch."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/4
"Meanders for a considerable time, looking for a plot, and by the time the movie hits its stride, it's a bit too late."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"[F]eels forced where Eleven is natural and instinctive; this new one is smug where the original is casually laid-back."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3.5/4
"Ocean’s Twelve is clearly the work of filmmakers and stars who have come to play. It’s not art and it’s not substantive, but it sure is a blast."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

"So insubstantial as to barely register as an actual film."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

3/5
"More fragmented than the original, but it's also slightly more substantial"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

D
"Terrible, even by sequel standards. What a disappointment."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

3.5/5
"All things considered, the fact that Ocean's 12 is merely confusing, instead of entirely indecipherable, is somehow rather impressive."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

B+
"Bathes in gritty Euro-trash funk that plays nicely against the fresh-faced celebrities littering the sets."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

"It does the hard work of being a light, smartly turned-out amusement, the sort of thing that's becoming more and more rare on the movie landscape these days."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

6/10
"Resonating with Rat Pack ring-a-ding-ding, it's a silly sequel but, considering star value alone, it should sell a lot of popcorn."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

3/4
"The chief appeal of this breezy caper comedy lies in the easygoing camaraderie of the stars, who are clearly enjoying themselves onscreen."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

2/4
"A time capsule of the current A-list first and a motion picture second, it'd make a great calendar: one idol per month."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

68/100
