    I'm torn between "it bites" and "it blows"......I've only walked-out on a couple movies in my life. I stayed the course and followed it through, but I should have walked out...especially since Hostel 2 was playing down the hall. :)

    2. ocean's 13
    3. ocean's 12
    4. the original ocean's eleven with the rat pack.

    I thought 13 was way better than 12 but not near as good as 11. My .02.

    It didn't really care for Ocean's 11, so I never bothered with 12, and will certainly not bother with 13.

    Ocean's certainly did suck... Knocked Up has been the best movie of the year imo, funny as all hell.

    It looks like I am one of the few people that thought that Ocean's 13 was great. It was my favorite of the three. As for Hostel 2, that was one of the most disturbing movies I have seen. Much more disturbing than the first one.

    I didnt really care for Ocean 13. There are a couple funny scenes but nothing really happens in the movie.
    I want to see Hostel 2 but the first Hostel was just terrible. Is Hostel 2 any better?

    You are ;) But I envy you.....you''re able to enjoy most any movie.

    I'm sorry...but in today's modern cinematic era we've come to expect a level of storylines, effects and plots that entertain us and don't challenge us to suspend disbelief.

    This movie dragged. The whole "Ocean's" thing is the same story again and again and again. This time you have 2-3 characters acting like hot-shots, an appalling lack of hot-woman talent (that woman was wilting) and not enough cool-humor...and aside from a Maserati not even some cool cars!

    So let me get this straight....the old man Ruben turned Heavy-D (highly dysfunctional) after he was boned on a deal...so now he just lays there in an awakened coma until his friends can bone the guy back? Alright, that's not too hard to swallow....but then lets see how he got boned: he signed away his interest or he would have been thrown off the building? Contracts signed under duress aren't binding: you sue. They bought a huge tunnel digger and were able to get in undetected AND it could cause an earthquake?..and what about the megatron device that could shut down a computer. The list goes on and on. It's like one of those mystery stories where every delicate piece of a 80-piece puzzle just perfectly comes together; circumstances that are just too convenient to be plausible.

    No, no, no, no....I enjoyed the Joy-Luck club, I even laughed at the Pee-Wee's Big adventure movie and on occassion I can even tolerate Hugh Grant.....but this movie was just a waste. I only take delight in thinking that the divine era of Clooney/Pitt is finally coming to an end, just imagine; they're not as "hot & talented" as they think they are. Lord have mercy, cause I sure won't! :)

    All of the Ocean's XX movies have truly been poor movies. No plot line, weak, weak dialogue, moderate talent actors, a tendency to try to be "too cool for you" and in general altogether very forgettable movies.

    In a few years no one will remember these failures.

    Ocean's 11 - decent crap movie for those who like Hollywood fabricated remakes.

    Ocean's 12 - an insult to the audience that such a plot and piece of crap would ever be put on the screen

    Ocean's 13 - more crap, but less crappy. It just bites. It doesn't quite blow.

    All three of those movies are nothing more than entertaining, they are not trying to win oscars. They are well worth my 9.75 to go see it. Just watching those guys interact on screen and see how they play off each other is great. I love them all

    When I go to see a movie, I like to get my money's worth ... that means keeping up with the storyline and trying to anticipate what will happen, during this movie my mind wandered off and I started thinking about how huge the budget must have been to get all these famous actors. Although one part was REALLY funny, it was when the owner of the Bellagio says "I was born ready", expect you have to watch the first two to get it, but overall it wasnt a very good movie.

    Knocked up is a GREAT movie. Funny, serious, intense and educational at times!


    IMO Oceans' 11 was the only plausible movie of the series. Oceans 12 was so disgustingly terrible, I couldn't believe I actually watched in the theatres, it was as if a 12 year old wrote and directed it.

    I might watch Oceans' 13 when they show it on FOX or NBC in 5 years....(maybe) :)
