Résumés(1)
Trois ans ont passé depuis le braquage historique du casino Bellagio de Las Vegas. Depuis, Danny Ocean et ses associés se sont dispersés dans la nature avec l'intention de mener une existence honnête. Remarié à Tess, ce dernier joue "profil bas" jusqu'au jour où l'un de ses anciens complices la balance à Terry Benedict. Le propriétaire du Bellagio n'y va pas par quatre chemins: la bande doit, sous peine de mort, lui restituer le magot. Et ce n'est qu'un début, car quelqu'un d'autre s'intéresse de très près aux agissements passé et présents de la bande des onze... (texte officiel du distributeur)

Steven Soderbergh scores this time only in terms of form. Once again, we can expect excellent and imaginative camera work, great use of filters, colourful music, and beautiful costumes, but that’s basically all there is, and nothing else is really worth mentioning. In terms of content, the film is too complicated, the script unnecessarily convoluted, the plot too fast-paced, and the creativity and humourr from the first part are also gone.

Un film de détente avec une intrigue trop compliquée. Beaucoup plus agité que le premier volet. Cependant, grâce à la sympathie des acteurs, aux costumes qui les mettent en valeur et à une bande-son excellente, presque à la manière de Tarantino, cela passe comme une lettre à la poste. Globalement, quelque part entre 3 et 4 étoiles.

Ocean’s Twelve, le deuxième volet sur Danny et sa bande, a reçu un accueil mitigé, mais, personnellement, il me plaît autant que le premier, si pas plus. La palette de célébrités est encore plus étoffée que dans le un et Vincent Cassel, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis ainsi que Robbie Coltrane se positionnent en véritables piliers. Vincent Cassel, en particulier, est parfait dans son rôle de voleur.

A solid, but over-combined average in terms of screenplay and the cast. Only the main protagonist is given sufficient room to strut his stuff; the others just make a quick appearance and then disappear again. And after that some of them appear again and others don’t. The scenes that work the best are the ones where the actors make fun of themselves; for instance when they are talking about how old Danny (alias George Clooney) is, and Julia Roberts impersonating Julia Roberts.

The buddies definitely didn't follow proven paths, quite the contrary. They added a lot of twists and turns, which almost led them to disaster. The charm and allure of the personalities of the most important participants thus becomes the expected emergency brake for them. I like the absolute precision and technical perfection, but I can't shake off the sour taste that both came at the expense of carefree and, at the same time, quality and smart entertainment. Profiting for one's own gain and a comfortable rest of life is much more likable than pulling the group out of old troubles, or competing for the position of the best.

Considering how convoluted it was, everything fell together very nicely in the end. However, it was overall much less fun than part one. You have to concentrate so hard on what’s happening that this sit back and relax movie is about as relaxing as mid-semester math test. But Catherine was a twenty-five carat addition to the cast.

I have one minor problem with con-artist movies, I expect a con until the very end, so in the end I'm not too surprised that something isn't what it seemed, but I like to be surprised by HOW it actually was. And when it makes sense, is well shot and acted, I'm satisfied, which is the case with Ocean’s 12. I liked the first one a bit more, but not by much, and if it had been about a duel between two ace thieves from the beginning, I would have given it a fifth star. PS: Tess does look like Julia Roberts :)

There you go again, obediently cursing yourself for wanting to yawn. Granted, the second installment of Ocean’s has a really megalame script, Cassel and Willis really didn't need to be here, Brad Pitt is obviously always getting dragged into a scene from some bender, and so forth. But since I personally like to style myself as the director when watching a movie, I quite enjoyed the selfish banter with buddies. Weaker than the first one, but still fun in the best Hollywood way.

The first film, set in Europe and starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. And that's really all there is to it. An overly long introduction that leads to you just waiting for the action. What was interesting in the first film was basically copied here and not that much invention was added. It's quite a shame, but even Soderbergh saw that something was working, so he milked that idea. The only thing that has changed is that there is much less action and everything is mainly conversational. The spark is fading.
