(1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1   "Clooney and Pitt provide plenty of eye candy in 'Ocean's Thirteen,' but this third Ocean's adventure often seems incoherent and listless."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A "Ocean's Thirteen plays to known quantities, but with a graceful sense of ease and a sparkly smile a mile wide...one of the best cinema experiences of the year."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf C- "Personality is noticeably lacking in director Steven Soderbergh's cotton candy caper confection that should, but will not, end his superfluous "Ocean's" franchise."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Punch-lines seem both unknowable and strangely satisfying, as in Rusty's apparently clever, wholly contextless rejoinder: "I said, 'What do I look like, a pancake eater?'" Read as you will."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "It's instantly disposable charm, but it's charm nonetheless."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...possesses precisely the sort of light-hearted vibe that the series has come to be associated with..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "How many times can you keep conning the viewers and get away with it?"   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 6/10 "Vremena su se promijenila, ali sre%u0107om, ne toliko da dana%u0161nje filma%u0161e sprije%u010De da prave kvalitetnu holivudsku zabavu."   Index.hr   Dragan Antulov 1.5/4 "Danny Ocean and company ought to seriously consider retirement."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B "It's more apparent than ever that Soderbergh, Clooney, and company don't care -- and that sense of gleeful nonchalance is contagious."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Bright and glitzy but ultimately ephemeral and rather silly, featherweight sleight-of-hand without much of a payoff."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A fast-paced lark of a movie that makes it clear that in this cruel and crafty world, friends have to stick together."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "There's a lot of talk that Soderbergh makes these big cashcows so that he can afford to fund his smaller, more personal projects, but it seems more likely that the Ocean's films are just as personal to Soderbergh & Co. as anything else they produce."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "Ocean's Thirteen is the first sequel of the summer of 2007 not to fall on its face. The film is better paced and more involving than Ocean's Twelve but perhaps not as well executed as Ocean's Eleven."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "It's just about good enough to make us forget how unfortunate Ocean's Twelve really was"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Ocean's Thirteen is pretty much a confection of silly gags, great visuals, male bonhomie and goofy comedic 'suspense.' And I'm not, per se, complaining."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 3/4 "Summer fun with a safety net."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "It's probably not 'better' than the first movie, but I'll predict those who found the second one lacking will applaud the return to form."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "Basically, what you get with Ocean's Thirteen is more of the same, but less."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/5 "click for full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "An intriguing heist."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 1.5/4 "To call the Ocean's films frivolous would be kind, implying that these arduous concoctions are somehow light on their proverbial feet."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich 4/5 "Like James Bond movies, it's not about the reality of the situation but the fun you have watching it."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 2.5/4 "Not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon at the old picture show, even though it's eminently forgettable."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "...an airy entertainment that has the smarts to add a second, unexpected swindle that is more satisfying than the main event."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "The smug "It's our party and you're not invited" vibe of the second film is gone, replaced by a fizzy sense of shady glamour that makes an insanely complicated story of scams and swindles go down as smoothly as an ice-cold Bellini."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "It took a really weak sequel to realize what a long shadow Ocean's Eleven cast, and it's still present here."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B "Ocean's Thirteen shows that summer movies and their attendant presumption of needing to turn one's brain off can still be executed with style and wit."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 6/10 "The script is fun and breezy and not meant to be taken very seriously."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Just so you know -- because this is important when you're talking to fans of George Clooney's charming thief Danny Ocean -- it's an hour and 15 minutes into Ocean's Thirteen before he appears in a tux."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "After two other movies in the series, Ocean's Thirteen doesn't exactly feel fresh, but what's cool is that it doesn't feel stale either. This is the rare movie series where the third entry is just as much fun as the original."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "It was more fun when they were a little bit hungry and more than a little bit greedy. Let's hope they remember that before the next one."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C "Another spectacle of celebrity narcissism and goofing off which can only be commended for not being quite as unbearable as its thoroughly self-satisfied predecessor."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "Sure, it couldn't be much more self-indulgent, but the fun is infectious."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "A cocky and condescending indulgence test for anyone who hasn't automatically bought into its faux-cool suave."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick B- "Robbing casinos? Shit, these guys should be in charge of Katrina relief!"   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "Watching this movie is like eating cotton candy: It may not have any substance, but it sure tastes good."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "It's time to send the Danny Ocean franchise out to sea, for good."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 9/10 "Move over, Spidey, Shrek and Sparrow...Danny Ocean's back in Vegas! This romp is one of this summer's guiltiest pleasures."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 7/10 "A genial time-waster."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1
