Oceans Twelve

What a load of tosh. The first movie was pretty good. Nice and slick with a tight plot and excellent character interaction. This was was full of codswallop. The story was weak and full of naff plot devices, such as Julia Roberts' character impersonating... Julia Roberts.

The whole museum plan was ok, as was the fact that all but three of the team managed to get themselves arrested. Even the rich French burgular challenging them was fine. But given that they actually stole the item well before it actually made it to the museum in the first place made the entire final act with the second museum heist and the Julia Roberts incident utterly, utterly pointless.

They'd have done better having Matt Damon organising some sort of jail break and earning his wings rather tha getting him arrested too and having his Mum break him out.

Ho hum. Not all movies have to good, I suppose.
