Review of Ocean's Eight (2018) by Cokronakan — 23 Jun 2019

This movie felt like an average reboot of a very good heist trilogy, where only the cast and the story twists was performing well.

The Ocean's movies always had good casts and this is no exception. The actors did a great job impersonating their characters and the great and soft complex script complemented their skills very well. The directing was average and nothing to really talk about there, except for the fact that the screen-time for certain scenes felt to long or too short. The story was really a cheesy one, with a vendetta, pride and greed at the core of it, which was nothing fresh and unseen before. It just wasn't the masterpiece as the other ocean's movie set out to be.s.

Also as the story unfolded most of the events felt like it had no stakes, like the vigilante protagonists had no competition or no real antagonists. The guys that where supposed to be the antagonists where scripted to be a bunch of irrational losers.

So overall it was an above average movie the sadly did not deliver on the level of detail and entertainment that the other movies raised the bar for. It is a good heist movie, but and above average movie in general value. Also there was no real message in the story and the ending was to corny for most of he general viewers.
