It was alright. Not terrible. The heist seemed a little rushed and seemed to go a little too smoothly for me. Part of the fun of Ocean's movies is the plan going sideways multiple times and watching them deal with it. Didn't feel like we got much of that here.

Sitting down to watch now. Hope it's not a waste of a Tuesday $6 movie ticket.

I have zero problem with this movie. Clever heist. The acting was fine. The cameos are just fine.
I liked that the music very closely resembled the previous 3.

I mean it's not a reboot in the slightest it's a movie that takes place in the same universe as the others. But I know some people are determined to make that comparison so you do you booboo

I liked it - wasn't as good as Oceans 11 - but for what it was it was enjoyable.

A watchable but mediocre film that didn't take full advantage of the cast. Just needed a little more humor, and maybe more problems to overcome.

It’s smooth, and far from inept. But it isn’t much fun. That’s all you want from a certain kind of heist picture, isn’t it? Fun?


Fair RT scores. It got the job done, but didn't stand out.

I just saw it and thought it was fine. I liked the target being the Met Gala in NYC and enjoyed the Anne Hathaway and HBC characters. There were a couple of twists, but it could have used a couple more.

It is nothing special, but if you like heist movies it is entertaining.

Saw it yesterday, as the wife loves the Oceans series and wanted to go see it.

Thought it was enjoyable on its own, though honestly holds a tiny grasp to the Oceans series. I think if it had been a standalone ensemble heist piece, instead of making it a 4th Oceans film, it probably would have gone over better.

That said, I thought the movie was fine and pretty fun. It is certainly not worth the hate it had gotten.
