Review of Ocean's Eight (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 29 Sep 2018

I'm a dude and this was definitely written for women. They enjoy themselves the most when they're dressing to the 9s, sporting high-end jewelry, and being all international. It was a fairly boring premise, too, since the characters were basically just gender-opposites of the men's version.

In other words, the women were uncharacteristically suave, calm, and debonaire - and that's just too bizarre to accept. Plus, Debbie Ocean was pulling a two-fer job just like her now dead brother Danny.

So, boring and derivative. Writer/Director Gary Ross obviously preferred the familiar to being original so everyone loses when you play it safe like that, and that helps explain why its w/w BO was less than all the other Ocean's movies.
