Ocean's Twelve *spoiler warning*
Summary, before you go further... if you haven't seen it, don't.


Anyway...


WTF? What a bad sequel. Very slow start and huge leaps of logic; for example, did you see all that shit they used to break into the agoraphobic guy's house? Any clue how much equipment like that would cost? I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than the 2.5 million they planned to score, or very close to it. So they're spending a lot of time and capital for a minimal or probably negative cash return. Brilliant plan, guys.

Okay, so I finished watching the movie a while ago and didn't bother to update my criticism until now. It was a confusing plot that relied far too much on a flashback, for starters. What was with the breakdancing thief? Laser nets... can't move like that. A laser sensor has two ends so that it can tell if the laser is broken, but if it's moving all over the place how is it supposed to know if the beam is broken? Stupid.

Other things that pop out... the holographic egg thing. How the hell were they supposed to install a whole new pedestal with impossible holographic technology in the middle of a museum? What was the point of all that? Isabel or whatever Catherine Zeta-Jones's character was named also just knew all sorts of things, like when she just knew they would go after the faberge egg. She just knew where to find the gang, also. What was with Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts, also?

I can't talk about this anymore.
