I've only walked out of two movies in my life. One was Hell Boy but that was at the behest of my so-called date even though I was enjoying it. The other was recent, I can't even remember the name though. I was with Bockchow and Viper GTS. It was about a boy who died but was brought back to life being cloned or something.

I should preface this by saying that I absolutely LOVED the first one (Clooney remake, anyway). I've got it on DVD and I think it's one of the better movies that I've ever seen.

I would rank Ocean's Twelve to be a fraction of a notch better than that horrid movie that the three of us walked out on. Ocean's Twelve was a horridly boring waste of money, save for a few funny lines. Jeez... I left the theater going "...what the FVCK..." I *SHOULD* have walked out, but I liked the sound track and I had nothing better to do...

Anyone else share my sentiments? Comments? Discuss.

Yeah, I didn't think it could get any worse, but it took a huge crap when that happened.

The only movies I couldn't ever get through were Biodome & a little bit of just about every one of those teen movies. I've sat through Gods & Generals, Last Action Hero, even Beauty & the Beast on Ice. I'll be able to handle Ocean's Twelve. :p

It was all a setup to get their competition to keep playing along and to get the authorities off their back, maybe? I dunno. Every movie is full of plot holes. It's just rare to find a movie like this where the plot itself is one giant black hole.

also to have cat zeta jones' character to catch them and then have her follow them to the airport..and spill the beans, and make her meet her dad finally.

i think her dad and daniel had an agreement where daniel will help dad and daughter be reunited in exchange for the information of the whereabouts of the real egg



also, to give some experience to the rookie matt damen's character...since he wanted to have a larger role

Something just wasn't right about Matt Damon playing, what seemed to me, a "stupid" guy. It just doesn't fit my perception of him.

You guys are sissys. I sat through CHARLIES ANGLES: FULL THROTTLE, and even stayed for the credits.

I will never walk out of a movie. I figure I laid down $9, I'm going to use the theater's facilities to the fullest to get my money's worth. Oops! My drink spilled!

My fiancee liked Ocean's 11, hated Ocean's 12. Seems to be the general concensus. Thanks for the review Nik.
