Rubes Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The wife saw Oceans 12 and thought it was good. Better if you've seen 11, of course. I don't think I would even attempt to see the Fockers movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the "11" remake. The "12" one out now got kinda panned by the critics. Sorry to say, the Fockers sequel hasn't got much positive review that I've seen. The local newspaper flack gave Ocean's "12" 5 out of 10 and Meet the Fockers a 6 - but you never know. "Finding Neverland" with Jonnie Depp is pretty good. "Sideways" is excellent.

Indy Dave Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Liked Ocean's 11 a lot (the one with Clooney, Pitt, etc.-- never saw the original). I thought Ocean's 12 was a disappointment. It's not terrible, but I didn't think it was very good. Liked Meet the Parents, want to see Meet the Focker's but have not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, do know that it is about the famous rat pack.Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop & Sammy Davis, jr. 199464[/snapback] actually, "ocean's eleven" (the new one) was a remake of "ocean's 11" (the original) which starred the rat pack, wasn't about them. the new one was, i thought, a really good movie if taken by itself and not compared to the original. the fact that they demolished the original's ending and went "hollywood" was typical of today's films. the original's ending was one of the best and most clever and comical endings of all time. i'm not gonna spoil it so if you haven't seen it, you gotta go rent it.

KurtGodel77 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I saw Oceans 12. It wasn't a bomb, but if I had to do it over I wouldn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ocean's 12 wasn't bad at all. It's not a serious film or even really a crime caper movie. The flick cleary doesn't take itself seriously, and it's actually pretty charming and fun. Meet the Fockers, on the other hand, is okay - but, like the original, still way too "sitcom"-ish. Also, like the original, the ending feels incredibly forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Saw the Fockers today (after the Colts went up 14-0) & thought it was funny but not as good as the 1st one...... Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand were however great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Movies like "Meet the Fockers" is why my wife and I are hard pressed to find one movie per year we want to see. Watched Key Largo on TV today. Now that's a good movie. Whatever happened to Hollywood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzer32 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ocean's Eleven is one of my favorite movies, but I am a big Vegas fan to begin with. I would not see Ocean's 12 without seeing 11 first. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
