"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
