Whats everyones opinion on this movie? I watched it last night for maybe the 6th or 7th time, and realized it's actually one of my favorite movies. I love every part of that movie, and the interaction between Brad Pitt and George Clooney throughout the movie is what makes it so entertaining IMO. Any other fans out there?

I love the film. I went to Vegas the same year it came out so I love it for the Nostalgia value too. Shame about Oceans Twelve though. Absolute crap. Hopefully Oceans Thirteen will be a lot better.

I think it's a fun popcorn movie. Smarter than crap like XXX and funnier than crap like The Pacifier (God, I hate Vin Diesel).
I think it gets a bad rap because people don't like to admit it when super famous people do quality work and like to go against the grain of popular culture.

It's actually a pretty nice movie with great replay value. I like it for what it is.

The one the rat pack did was much better because I actually believed the characters more than in the remake.

I liked it. I think Ocean's Twelve was better and think that Ocean's Thirteen will be better that than the first two.

When I was in college, whenever I'd stumble home drunk from I party, I tended to put this movie in... Me and my friends still pull lines from the movie from time to time... And it's completely inspired me to get a suit just to hang out and look cool. And anybody who says the first is better than the remake is insane... I bought it as an impulse purchase because I've heard people say how better it is... I watched it once and hated it most of the way through... Everybody did look really sweet in it though... And now this thread has inspired me to go change my sig...

I didn't HATE Oceans 12, I just couldn't really get into it. It was also kind of hard to follow. And Oceans 13 should be good. Its said to be more in the spirit of the first one.

Well, with Al Pacino, and the return to Vegas, it should be awesome... Hell, the exchange between Danny and Pacino's character in the trailer's got me hyped...

Am I the only one who realized that they screwed up part of the story big time? The bags full of "money" that turned out to be flyers for strippers and hookers that got blown up just appeared out of nowhere. At no point in time were they ever snuck into the vault, they just were there.

The bags of flyers were taken away before Brad Pitt and the rest got to the vault, so the only people in the vault at the time of the switch were George Clooney, the Chinese acrobat, and John Cena before he started his steroid routine. None of them brought them with them.

I love the movie. I liked 12 too, but not as much.

Oceans Twelve is dire. It makes the entire first film irrelevant. Let's rob a casino of $150 million by pulling off one of the most elaborate heists ever. Then let's make a sequel where we have to give the money back and make the entire first film redundant. And we can also have someone breakdancing through laser trip-wires. And the original Oceans Eleven is crap IMO.

I think the title is misleading, we never got to see his 11.

None of them brought them with them. Remember at the end with the SWAT van? They all walked out with their bags which contained the money... Do you think the bags they brought with them were empty? Nope, filled with the flyers and they made their switch...

I think the title is misleading, we never got to see his 11. We did. Danny (George Clooney) Rusty (Brad Pitt) Linus (Matt Damon) Saul (Carl Reiner) Virgil (Casey Affleck) Turk (Scott Caan) Basher (Don Cheadle) Livingston (Eddie Jemison) Reuben (Elliott Gould) Yen (Shaobo Qin) Frank C (Bernie Mac)
