Well with a cast like the one in Ocean's Twelve, you can't have a bad movie. Roger Ebert puts it this way: "The movie is all about behavior, dialogue, star power and wiseass in-jokes. I really sort of liked it." And we sort of liked it too. I thought I would really like it, but every now and again the movie was flawed and poorly acted. One scene, where Pitt and Zeta-Jones are talking on the tarmac of an airfield, reminded me of a high school drama. Also there are some "where did that come from" scenes. So it was fun but it wasn't great.

Storyline From Yahoo: It's been three years since Danny Ocean (Clooney) and his crew - fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Mac) - pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life... but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's wife Tess (Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back - with interest - or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn't the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean's Eleven...
