Ocean's 13 - 2.5 stars

This is probably the first new movie I've seen in 6 months. Ocean's 13 was a big fat disappointment. I'm not a big fan of sequels. Generally I think they are a rip-off, recycling the same jokes and story lines as the first installment. I really enjoyed Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12, and was actually looking forward to Ocean's 13. Ocean's 12 did repeat the same formula as Ocean's 11, but it didn't feel formulaic. It was fresh and funny. Ocean's 13 is very poorly scripted, with the leads phoning in their performances. They don't even repeat the best stuff in the first 2 - they don't have the lumbering idiots trying to pull off something complicated. There is a busy scam, but it's not creative and they all act like they know what they are doing. The only good gag comes from Matt Damon.
