There really isn’t anything technically wrong with “Oceans 8.” The cast is entertaining and beautiful. It’s awesome to see a group of sexy, talented actresses taking on the slick, cool con-men of the Ocean’s world. Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett make a good duo, similar to George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The movie is quick-paced and cool. The clothing and hair are dazzling. I found myself waiting for the next scene just to see what everyone was going to be wearing and how they were going to look. I know I strutted out of the theatre a little taller and feeling just a little cooler (although instead of wearing a snazzy outfit and jewelry, I was in my jeans, flip-flops and my “Cute But Kinda Weird” t-shirt). The problem with “Ocean’s 8” is that it just isn’t as good as “Ocean’s 11.” The twists and turns are sort of predictable and blah. There isn’t a moment where your eyes go wide and you are like “wow!” It’s fun to watch. It’s a solid heist movie. To be clear though, it is not “Ocean’s 11.”
Grade: C+
