Ocean’s Twelve

The missus and I saw it yesterday too. I liked the atmospherics, for want of a better word, but at the end of the day I was kinda peeved. I don’t mind silly movies and I don’t mind jokey movies. But movies that don’t take themselves seriously annoy me to no end. This was the downfall of the Star Wars films: the producers couldn’t take their own storyline seriously. The same thing happens in Ocean’s Twelve. It wasn’t quite Cannonball Run II, but you do get the sense that these guys thought they were so famous, so funny and so pretty that they could simply get away with anything they wanted, script-wise.
