**The Good**:

+ Throughout the trilogy, the motive behind Ocean's team has changed from greed to personal enjoyment to revenge.
+ The story is a whole lot more comprehensive this time around and the script makes sure it always guides the viewer on to the next face of the operation - it's easier to follow a number of small operations building up to the big heist at the end.
+ Stylistically, _Ocean's 13_ is still very close to the previous two films, which feels safe from the point of the viewer.
+ I love the return of the big stakes and the casinos as well as the clever solutions to many of the problems the team faces.
+ The story progresses more evenly now and the heist itself rolls on very nicely throughout the film. The level of excitement is at best very high.
+ By this move you really feel like you know the team members personally and seeing them work together is a joy.
+ The heist has been expanded to slowly uncover itself throughout the entire movie.

**The Bad**:

- Sometimes the story feels a bit too simple and straightforward. The lack of a compelling twist at the end is a shame.
- I felt bored by the fact that they didn't shake things up stylistically for this film.
- Some of the things the team pulls off don’t seem particularly plausible in real life.
- There are some unnecessary interruptions to the otherwise well flowing heist movie.

**Verdict**:

_Ocean's 13_ marks a huge improvement over the lacklustre second movie but it feels like a pale copy of the first movie.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

This is about as good as the original without the historical mark. I love the alternative motive of getting revenge for a friend, this way it's not about how much you can steal, its about how much you can make someone else lose, and it's against someone might be justifiably shot, not that it would help Reuben.

This movie gets every bit as complex with less over explaining than the last movie, keeping it fresh and interesting.

All the same production value, good cast, and good writing with new twists and angles. A must see even if you've watched the first and are skipping the second.

Now, this is an OCEAN'S MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

It easily could have just tried to copy the first Ocean's film but it didn't as this film is more of a revenge film than a heist film and the entire way through the film you want to see the Ocean Crew get there own back for Elliot Gould (Reuben Tishkoff) as he is wronged in a really horrible way. To me, this film is funnier than the first film as it had me in stitches at times and the heist is a lot more intense than in Eleven (no point mentioning Twelve), only thing was it was a little slower than Eleven in some ways.

But the main reason this film is so great is the addition of Al Pacino (Willy Bank) who before this I have never really seen him as a villain and he was just so perfect, I found I hated him so much and you want to see the crew take him down sooooooo badly. I also like the twist with bringing Andy Garcia (Terry Benedict) onto the side of the Oceans crew was genius as even though you know not to trust him you just like him so much.

Give this one a watch, I say just watch Eleven and Thirteen.
