I enjoy the Brad Pitt-Catherine Zeta Jones romance (my God, they're both so beautiful), but it doesn't fit as well into the overall plot as did the Danny-Tess romance in the first movie. The crew gets tossed to the side at about the halfway point, when their interactions were the highlight of the first half (since they're all friends in this movie now, as opposed to largely new teammates in the first one). When Ocean's 11 took off, they bought the script, made one of the thieves George Clooney, and gave the romance to Brad Pitt.Īs a huge fan of the series (my sister and I endlessly quote the movies, and it's a big bonding thing for us to watch the movies every once in a while), I still really like the movie, but it's just got a few shortcomings that make it feel a little unsatisfying. It was a movie about dueling European master thieves, with shades of a romantic triangle with a girl that they both were pursuing. Ocean's 12 was actually not written to be an Ocean's movie.
