Review of Ocean's Eight (2018) by Rebecca31 — 23 Jun 2018

Alright hands up who wanted another Ocean's movie? Who asked for this because I sure didn't. Hollywood's answer to diversity is to remake everything with an all female cast, oh sure that will fix everything won't it. Oceans Eleven is forgettable enough as it is to warrant two sequels and now this remake/spinoff, Ocean's Eight. Only this time you've got an all female lead cause it's 2018 and that's the popular thing to do now. I don't have a problem with this, they're all good actors (not you Rihanna) and the have good chemistry together but aside from that Oceans Eight was shockingly boring and very pointless. It's a heist movie without the suspense and not helped by the fact that it felt endless. Almost as long as the Mamma Mia two trailer that ran before it.

Sandra Bullock and friends decide to pull off a seemingly impossible heist at New York City's annual Met Gala. Step by step it felt unbearably formulaic, like it was simply following a guide and tried to distract us with all these stylish party scenes from how little action and substance there was. I'm surprised a heist movie could be this dull with very few laughs. Ocean's Eleven was bland and now Ocean's Eight is the same movie, just as bland but with the addition of James Corden for some reason and without George Clooney. Recommended to all the fans of the Ocean franchise, for everyone else it's skippable.
