People sleep on Ocean's Twelve but this movie is so good. It's so artistically made. Everything from the cinematography, the color, the camera work, the editing. Plus the soundtrack is fiiiiiiire.
Artistic greatness only gets you so far. The plot has major headscratchers, there are obvious logical mishaps throughout (for example the laser hall scene with Toulour is one of the more laughable scenes I've seen. 1. That's not how laser security systems work, like at all. 2. There are corridors to either side of the main hall and the lasers clearly don't reach them, you could easily just stroll through there) and the twist makes everything you've just spent 2hrs watching useless and reveals that the main characters were never in any actual danger at all, neither from Toulour nor law enforcement. The film leaves you with the feeling of 'why should I even have cared?'.
@@freshoftheoven965 No need to be sorry, I didn't say it was better. Ocean's Eleven is fantastic, it's like lightning in a bottle. I just happen to think Twelve is still pretty great.
@@richard_nj I don't disagree. Although regarding your point about the twist and how it reveals they were never in any danger, that's almost what I like most about it. The movie tricked the audience just as much as the characters tricked Toulour and Benedict. So that doesn't personally bother me at all, I think it's a fun part of the ride. And I know the laser hall is ridiculous, but the whole series is fairly ridiculous. Again, for me that's all part of the fun. These aren't serious movies, I don't think any of this could or would happen in real life. Just a good time with beautiful visuals and a killer soundtrack. Never said it was the best of the trilogy, I just think it doesn't get enough credit.
@@themikereda The action on screen doesn't necessarily have to be perfectly believable, that's true (even though there is a point that when overstepped, somewhat ruins the immersion for me. I kinda cringe and react like "Yeahhhh, right......"), but the motives of the characters must be believable. The crew is in this just for the money, remember. They must fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones if they can't get enough cash to pay Benedict back. So why in the world would they waste the time and money to put up this elaborate deception for Toulour in Rome if they had the real egg from the beginning? Just to embarrass Toulour a bit more? Sry, not buying it. Why would they risk getting thrown in jail in multiple countries when there's no way they knew for sure that Lahiri was gonna forge the signature and their trump card relied solely on that and when there's no way that they fully understood the legal systems of all the countries they were operating in? So much shit could've gone wrong and for what? So that Rusty can have a shot at getting Lahiri? Sry, not buying it. And would Lahiri really throw away her still very much reputable career, her life as a high ranking Interpol agent because of the promise of a guy that lied to her basically every time she ever talked to him, who left her in the middle of the night by jumping out the bathroom window, who abused her knowledge for his criminal activities? And what is her life gonna be like after that decision, I mean does she really think she'll just go from law enforcement agent to outlaw thief? Again, sry, not buying it.
And there's a difference between tricking the audience and plainly lying to them. I mean there's no real foreshadowing for the twist, it doesn't have much to do with the rest of the plot, it's just not believable and not satisfying. It's like if you watched a crime film in which a person gets killed, two people who knew the deceased are the suspects throughout and then it's revealed the person was murdered by a random passer by. It's like if you just walked down the street and then out of nowhere you got shot in the back and the assailant yells: "Ha, tricked you!". Not much of a trick there.
I recognize that the ocean's series is not primarily about plot and story. That's what makes these films so rewatchable, knowing the outcome doesn't mean much, it's about the ride, about aesthetics, but this one is just too much, too outlandish. But then again we apparently consume and perceive films very differently, look out for vastly different things that decide a films worth to us, and that's perfectly fine.
This movie got me hooked on Gotan Project (the music during the 'interrogation' scene between Matsui and Lahiri), and I bought an album of theirs like a week after watching this movie
Ocean's Trilogy is one of the most underrated series in film HISTORY. It has everything.
If someone ask what is your favourite comedy of all time? You can include these films.
If someone ask what is your favourite action movie? You can include these films. Etc.
Its has all kinds of treats for cinema lover. UNDERRATED.
Agree
Couldn't agree more👍👍
Agreed. Ensemble, arthouse, everything.
they are all highly rated.... and are always talked about. So how are they underrated?
@@JoshuaDay0550 maybe in your circle and your surroundings. Not to mention - you missed the entire point I made. But Thats fine.
People didn’t like this movie, but it was so “smart funny”. This wasn’t just a movie, it was art. I loved it.
Hahahaha!! Art?!? You're calling it art? Hahahaha!! You're not a bright individual, are you. This scripted garbage has a lot of plot armor for the dudes involved in the heist, obviously. But who's calling it _"art"_ is a huge...no... a massive moronic dude.
Hahahaha!! Art...ha ha...
"Half the movie is spent preparing for the heist and the other half is revealing that it already happened." Rick Sanchez
Been waiting for this. Ocean's Twelve is one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've seen.
Agreed!! Loved the soundtrack!
Ocean's 11 draws you into the story. Ocean's 12 shows you character depth. Ocean's 13 Sends you away smiling and thankful for the journey. Watch Traffic, Spartan (Val Kilmer), The Game(Michael Douglas), Arlington Road, Top Secret (Val Kilmer)and Derailed with Jennifer Anniston. That movie made me feel some type of way. Great stuff. Keep it going. I'll keep watching.
cinematographer peter andrews is actually steven soderbourgh doing it himself under a pseudonym.
Oh snap
@@JamesVSCinema I highly recommend checking out the series The Knick, in which he serves as director, cinematographer, and editor of all 2 seasons. has quite possibly the best camera work hes ever produced in a movie or series. the show is currently on hbo max.
@@filmnerd99 wow, someone mentioned the knick. Great show. Clive owen was sensational in that.
Oceans 12 is super underrated. It's just one of those chill comfort movies to just put on.
Agreed!
I recommend reading the Huffington Post interview, titled ‘Steven Soderbergh Doesn’t Care If You Like ‘Ocean’s 12,’ But Don’t Hate It For The Wrong Reason.’ :)
“Steven: If someone was asking about making films and asked which they should look at, I would definitely say the second one. In terms of shot construction, cutting patterns, the use of music - from a filmmaking standpoint, that’s the best of the three.”
Which I appreciate, but the plot and story choices really turned me off. It makes me unable to rewatch the film, knowing so much of what they do is ultimately useless.
I used to hate this movie out of three but after watching the trilogy so many times, i agree with steven. The shots, editing, music score in this movie is phenomenal compared with the other two.
@@EclecticMystic Totally agreeeee
@@EclecticMystic That describes every movie, though...
Oceans 11: "Tada!"
Oceans 12: "Oh yeah?"
Oceans 13: "Hold my beer..."
The soundtrack is pure gold in this movie
Best I’ve heard in a long time
The style of movement you were looking for is a Brazilian martial art called “Capoeira”
Correct!
"Martial Art" is a strong term for what capoeira is.
@@JKM395 Kah-poo-era
@@aerthreepwood8021 Don't be fooled by modern capoeira. Original capoeira was fought with machetes and razors on slaves feet. It was originally used by slaves against military. Modern capoeira was stylized as a kind of dance to improve physical conditioning. Original capoeira is still teached thought.
"Kah-poe-A-la"
Ocean's Thirteen is my favorite one. It's kind of the most straightforward of the three. But even George Clooney makes fun of it.
I’ll check into it!
Capoeira is what he's doing. The song used in the laser dodging scene is fitting because he was also in the video for it. Keep up the great work. I wonder if you'll do the original Oceans 11 with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin. It was definitely a movie of it's time.
Most definitely will be doing that!
@@JamesVSCinema nice! I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I feel about Oceans 12 like I do about Young Guns II, and Empire Strikes Back: They are sequels that are better than the original, but would not work at all without the original to build off from, so utliately the 1st is still better in that it created the conditions for the sequel to be so good.
He needs to react to Young Guns omg
Good point
Never been more stressed out by someone playing with their candy than in this beauty.
Lmfaoooo
Soderbergh is god tier! From 2000 onward he both directs and actually shoots his own stuff under a pseudonym. Right after the Ocean’s movies he begins cutting them himself too, also under a pseudonym. If you love how stylish these are, you NEED to watch the TV show THE KNICK on HBO Max. It’s a medical procedural show set in 1900. Not for reactions, just to feed your filmmaking spirit bc Soderbergh directed, shot, AND edited ALL 20 hours of the show and it’s even more aesthetically inventive and experimental than the Ocean’s trilogy while still being slick popcorn entertainmen
WE NEED AN OCEANS 13 REACTIONNNNNNNNNN........................a very underrated film
Hahaha very soon!
Ocean's Twelve is my favorite too. I honestly love them all. This one took so many risks with the story, and I think it really pays off in the end. They all stand out uniquely on they're own, and I can't wait to see your thoughts on them all once you see Thirteen. I'm also so happy you highlighted the soundtrack cause it hits differently from most film soundtracks, and I love it.
“I love these zoom ins” you should watch more 70’s movies. Filled with them.
Idk if you noticed but when Linus is talking to Matsui, he just sings the lyrics to Kashmir, not sure if you knew but it adds another level that makes it that much more hilarious
The original sound track of the laser scene is a french sound "thé à la menthe"
This is more visually adventurous than the first one. Looking at the state of filmmaking now it’s amazing to think how recently people like Steven Sodebergh were getting huge budgets and A-list casts to do whatever they want with.
Greatly missed.
One of my favourite lines (not in this clip) is Don Cheadle saying that Tess "has to get the accent right, that's the first thing they notice!" - making fun of himself.
This movie has Super Dave and that's good enough for me. RIP
12 gang rise up! Although I have massive love for all 3.
Soderbergh is an amazing filmmaker.
The Rusty, Spike comparison was on point 👌🏽
I've always felt like oceans 11 was better, but 12 will always be my favorite!!
In the end, Gaspar LeMarc was the best thief in the world. The Puppet Master. The whole movie was set into motion by him because he wanted the Faberge Egg he had originally stolen but had to put back because of his wife. All he had to do was remain silent in front of Toulour when the businessman told him the casino heist was the greatest and tell Danny and Rusty when and where the real egg would be in transit. And at the end it was simply brought to him while he read the paper by the beach.
This one reminds me a bit more of the classic Sinatra version of Ocean’s 11 which makes me happy.
PS...folks never realize that Matsui is played by the guy that plays Hagrid from Harry Potter
Was about to turn off my phone, getting bored. Then you came in the clutch James. Thx man.
Ayyyyy clutch game always on point!
Another underrated film from this era--also featuring the glorious Vincent Cassel--is "Derailed." I think you might enjoy it; I know I certainly did. :)
So happy u like the ocean movies I love u James!
2nd one has the best soundtrack for sure
100%
ocean 12 's big thing was the soundtrack and it had a great plot... the actors were top notch.... editing was supreme
The soundtrack for all 3 of these movies is absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see the reaction to 13
8:04 Those are the lyrics to "Kashmir", a Led Zeppelin song, hence Brad Pitt's character's reaction.
😂😂😂
I love your reactions! I'm not a movie maker, but i love movies, i loved how they are made, i love how shots are done, the behind the scenes! You ought to to react to Phone Booth, most of the movie was shot in and around a phone booth, Colin Farrell, Katie Holmes, Kiefer Sutherland, and Forest Whitaker, directed by, Joel Schumacher!
8:04 surprised you didn't get DMCA'd for Matt reciting Led Zepplin lyrics lmao
Hey man! Im here in Amsterdam watching your videos :) beer is already in the fridge waiting for you, hope to see you soon
My man! 🙏🏽
Can't wait for ocean's 13.. it's more like the ocean's 11 and you're gonna love it
For the recap you requested at 22:30 in the movie, I can't say it's a spoiler since it was briefly mentioned in 11, likely when they're recruiting Linus about how popular his parents are, and that they're good friends with Danny and Ruben. In 12, ta da, we meet the mom, and in 13, we'll meet the dad.
Soundtrack gets me every time 🤤
Same!
I just don't understand how people don't like this movie. It's brilliant.
Soundtrack for the laser scene is "The a la menthe" fyi :)
Damn you called it with the comparison to spike....all these years and i couldnt pin it down what i was thinking
I may be wrong, but when you are talking about the movements/dance that The Night Fox guy was doing I'm pretty sure you were thinking of Capoeira. It's a martial art/dance that originates from Brazil.
Now, you need to see Ocean's 13
Another sweet reaction. Really enjoy your reactions. I would love to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on "Bubba Ho-tep". Bruce Campbell (Ash in Evil Dead) as Elvis. Hilarious horror comedy.
13 is my personal favorite
Its Capoeira my dude, BTW shoutout from Brazil
I don't care what anyone says, I love all 3 of these movies
Never clicked on a video so fast.
😭😭😭
Capoeira scene is my favorite followed by father daughter reunion. Fourth wall break with Julia is hilarious. I like 13 best but this one better than 11.
the Ocean's trilogy are all fantastic. I think I prefer 1 the most, but all 3 are incredible films.
Amsterdam and the surrounding areas are boss. Was fortunate to go in high school but after the pandemic going to go back and visit as well as Southern France 🇫🇷
Yet another awesome reaction, Holla when ya ever make it to Amsterdam brother.
Fuck yeah! James rocks cowboy bebop like I do! I never put it together until now, but holy crap, Brad Pitt really is exerting Spike Spiegel energy in this role. Damn, imagine if we actually got a really good live action cowboy bebop movie with Brad Pitt at this age playing spikes bagel. Damn, it would’ve been amazing, but we already got the anime - so no reason to ask for seconds. LOL
RIGHT!? It’s like..spot on!!
@@JamesVSCinema Fur sure...I also just realized I had a typo in the comment and called him "Spike's Bagel," at one point. Lol. Get it Copyrighted, trademarked, & boom - instant success as a bagel shop.
Lmao. “They are doing exactly the same thing as they did in the last movie. Except this is more incognito.....” an *ad for Incogmeato vegan “meats”) plays* talk about timing.
Please do Brotherhood of the wolf!
I believe you were thinking of the Brazilian martial arts capoeira for the getting past the lasers movements.
Yup!
Brad Pitt eating constantly is actually an acting technique which is supposed to draw the viewer's attention by being active at all times.
You NEED to watch Big Fish, I know you are going to love it
yo James, whats the outro music? can it be found anywhere online?
hey man. a little critique here.
I like your videos but I sometimes feel like there isn't enough "film maker" in the reaction.
it might pay to look at another film maker reactor such as Shanelle Riccio to get an understanding about what I mean. she goes into a lot more depth about the film making techniques of the film she's watching in terms of continuity, editing, writing, acting, lighting etc.
I love that they and Yen speak in their native tongues and can understand each other perfectly and it's never acknowledged.
looking forward to the next BoB video.
You need to do a reaction for Fight Club! This is a must see movie! I reckon you'd love it!
what the laser beam scene an homage to KZJ scene from Entrapment?
how about the original oceans 11 with Dean Martin?
Nightfox is doing capoeira, a brazilian martial art/dance style
He says the things you can’t say
12:36 you said you couldn't imagine being in a bag that long. what length of time are you comfortable with?
Amsterdam is awesome. DO IT!
Need a movie about the career of Glen Snackwell, publicist to the stars
need a movie about linus's parents
Dude, aint nothing wrong with a man getting a mani and pedi. He gotta look good too!
"The Italian Job" (2003) has an Oceans XX kind of feel to it
www.imdb.com/title/tt0317740/
If you come to Amsterdam the beer is on me
hello can someone tell me what is the song at the end? : ) thx pls pls
If youre interested in another show/ havent seen it, you should watch Altered Carbon. The first season anyway.
"Whatever happens, happens."
Music: David Holmes
Dance/Martial Art: Capoeira
Review: Fire!
Ayyyy my man
are u thinking if capoiera?
I like all three idk I can never pick
I concur hahaha
Phoon was the night fox all along!
😭😭😭
Watched many of ur reactions and really like ur insight..so when you are done with oceans rabbit hole.check out boondock saints there's two movies.you will really enjoy.thanks
Hey James, what's up with the hat?? Is it a luck thing??
Capawera? I think it’s what it’s called
YES!
Imo the best one in the trilogy is the third one
Bro you need to watch some Sergio leone films
Lol.. u ain't getting beers in Amsterdam my friend 😂😂
@James VS Cinema Capoeira fighting style?
Correct!
3:41 me saying peace after a night with a random.
LMFAO
Amstrdam? Maybe Moscaw, dude?
This is my least favoritw of the Oceans Trilogy but i do really like it. I also really like the intro with Terry finding all of them
This is my least favorite movie in the trilogy. But Ocean's Thirteen is the best.
I hope you are going to do Ocean's Eight as well.
If you ever come to the netherlands, let me know👌🏻
You already know 👌🏽
I'm not even 5 min in *Like! x
Ay thank you!
Eyyy just in time for lunch.
Ayyyy be safe brother!
@@JamesVSCinema no u
Keep on keeping on my guy
This is my favorite of the three, the soundtrack is also my favorite, so many excellent songs. The one where they're raising the building is perfect heist music. I like all three actually, but I will say that there was an original Oceans 11 made back in 1960 with some of the coolest cats of that era, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Unfortunately the pacing of that movie is very slow, it drags to the point where I lost interest and I'm not sure I even finished it.
The Ocean's trilogy is probably the most aesthetically pleasing and charming movies to exist 😍
Agreed Nea!
