Didn't really care for it the first time I saw Ocean's 12, but it's grown on me. Great soundtrack, great scenery, easy to follow plot about how they completely con the Night Fox.
Loved it.
Hitler! C'mon, I'll buy you a glass of lemonade.
It gets a lot of hate but I liked it for all of the reasons you mentioned.
shareThis one gets better each time. It's complicated. But to me it's hilarious!
shareCaught it on tv the other day. It's okay. It would have been a pretty passable sequel, but a few scenes just completely derail the film. The Bruce Willis bit especially.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
I enjoyed it too. My favorite thing is how this is almost more of Rusty's movie and plotline. In Ocean's 11, it's pretty clear that it's called "Ocean's 11" because Danny is the one with the ideas, but Rusty is the guy who can put them into reality. But you need both for a con to work.
What I notice about "12" is that this time, Rusty is the one planning the heists, often hiding details from Danny, and it all falls apart, proving 1) why Danny has top billing, 2) why you need an idea man, and 3) what happens when the gang, especially Danny, is not in control of the situation (first they are forced to take a very difficult job to make it up to Benedict, and then they are stymied by the Night Fox's ego challenge. Unlike in 11 and 13, they are not running the show.) Of the three movies, this is really the only one where they aren't in control and are trying to deal with it, for a short while at least.
(When you watch the whole movie, you know that the gang went to LeMarque and got help after the whole Amsterdam thing, but until that point, they were struggling to get through this)
