- We're doomed.
- Come on, he's one guy and he's French!

I saw Ocean's 12 last weekend but didn't really get around to writing about it until now. I guess that's a good indication of my lackluster feelings towards it. I had been looking forward to this movie quite a bit, since I really enjoyed the original and was impressed with the amount of talent involved, but early reviews reset my expectations a bit.

The movie was still fun. The characters are still smart and have the kind of fast paced, intelligent dialog I enjoy. But it was all just sort of whimsical. The whole time I knew there was something else going on, but the movie doesn't show you enough about what's going on for you to have a chance at knowing. So when they do the reveal I didn't care, it was like "ok, you tricked me by not showing me anything, that wasn't hard."

I still had a good time, but this is my genre. The movie wasn't really bad, but it wasn't good either. It was just kind of blah.

Which is why it took me a week to get around to writing about it, no real strong feelings one way or the other...

Still want more?
