Why put so much sheen on a movie that warrants and provokes nothing more than mild diversion? It's like serving sloppy joes on fine china.

Reviews for Ocean's Thirteen
101 - 120 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Steven Soderbergh's film is smooth, pleasing and lively. It's also completely devoid of genuine dramatic tension.
06/08/07
This might be the first piece of escapism to have a whiff of public service at its heart.
06/08/07
Acknowledging that service employees and factory workers make casinos tick - and factoring them into the plan - is a welcome wrinkle in pressed-suit professionalism that's on display in this thrillingly exciting franchise revival.

The gang's back in Vegas, and back in top form.
06/08/07
Though "Ocean's Thirteen" sticks to Las Vegas, rather than the lush palazzos of European cities, the atmosphere is still a privileged one where our heroes carry out another ultra-hip caper.
06/08/07
Clooney, Pitt and Damon have now worked together long enough that they've found a delightful sense of synchronicity that makes even the throwaway lines worth catching.
06/08/07
A fast-paced lark of a movie that makes it clear that in this cruel and crafty world, friends have to stick together.
06/08/07
doesn't add anything new to its routine equation but a hundred and thirteen minutes pass swiftly and fourteen actors have a good time -- an enjoyable, disposable lark
06/08/07
Unfortunately, with the arrival of Ocean's Thirteen, it's beginning to seem that the spectacle of A-list salaries on parade may not be enough to sustain the series much longer.
06/08/07
You know it's one sequel too many, well, actually two sequels too many, when Brad Pitt and George Clooney start finishing each other's sentences while strolling down the Vegas strip and reminiscing on the good ole days.
06/08/07
...the perfect movie for an air conditioned theater and a big tub of popcorn.
06/08/07
It's a lot better than Twelve, and even though it doesn't quite go to Eleven, at least it comes close enough.
06/08/07
It's just fun. You want to be challenged? Not your movie.
06/08/07
It may be way too clever for its own good, yet Ocean's Thirteen has plenty of ring-a-ding-ding.
06/08/07
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.
06/07/07
'Ocean's Thirteen' is pure escapist fare that hits no jackpot, but pays off better than 'Ocean's Twelve.'
06/07/07
Overall, the movie is OK enough ... but doesn't have the energy, excitement and fun of the first film
06/07/07
Soderbergh and company have said this is the last Ocean's film, and it should be - they finally got it right. Anything that comes after will only tarnish the cocktail hour perfection of this movie.
06/07/07
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.
