**The Good**: + Throughout the trilogy, the motive behind Ocean's team has changed from greed to personal enjoyment to revenge. + The story is a whole lot more comprehensive this time around and the script makes sure it always guides the viewer on to the next face of the operation - it's easier to follow a number of small operations building up to the big heist at the end. + Stylistically, _Ocean's 13_ is still very close to the previous two films, which feels safe from the point of the viewer. + I love the return of the big stakes and the casinos as well as the clever solutions to many of the problems the team faces. + The story progresses more evenly now and the heist itself rolls on very nicely throughout the film. The level of excitement is at best very high. + By this move you really feel like you know the team members personally and seeing them work together is a joy. + The heist has been expanded to slowly uncover itself throughout the entire movie. **The Bad**: - Sometimes the story feels a bit too simple and straightforward. The lack of a compelling twist at the end is a shame. - I felt bored by the fact that they didn't shake things up stylistically for this film. - Some of the things the team pulls off don’t seem particularly plausible in real life. - There are some unnecessary interruptions to the otherwise well flowing heist movie. **Verdict**: _Ocean's 13_ marks a huge improvement over the lacklustre second movie but it feels like a pale copy of the first movie.

A bit slow in the start - but a very good movie!

If I don't know what to watch the Ocean's movies never disappoint - if you ignore _Ocean's Twelve (2004)_. They're just a lot of fun 😁

Ocean’s crew reunites for one last con in _Ocean’s Thirteen_. When one of their own gets scammed by a casino developer, Danny Ocean puts the team back together in order to get payback and to set things right. The story’s fairly strong and the Las Vegas setting returns the series to its roots. Still, the con’s a little incoherent and the plot has some extraneous parts. Most of the cast from the previous films return, and are joined by Al Pacino; who makes for a terrific villain. _Ocean’s Thirteen_ is an improvement over the last film, but it’s not as good as the original.

The first hour was probably my least favourite of these three movies, but the second half made up for it. Still not as good as the first installment, but definitely better than the second simply because it returned to using the first movie's formula.
