**The Good**:

+ Throughout the trilogy, the motive behind Ocean's team has changed from greed to personal enjoyment to revenge.
+ The story is a whole lot more comprehensive this time around and the script makes sure it always guides the viewer on to the next face of the operation - it's easier to follow a number of small operations building up to the big heist at the end.
+ Stylistically, _Ocean's 13_ is still very close to the previous two films, which feels safe from the point of the viewer.
+ I love the return of the big stakes and the casinos as well as the clever solutions to many of the problems the team faces.
+ The story progresses more evenly now and the heist itself rolls on very nicely throughout the film. The level of excitement is at best very high.
+ By this move you really feel like you know the team members personally and seeing them work together is a joy.
+ The heist has been expanded to slowly uncover itself throughout the entire movie.

**The Bad**:

- Sometimes the story feels a bit too simple and straightforward. The lack of a compelling twist at the end is a shame.
- I felt bored by the fact that they didn't shake things up stylistically for this film.
- Some of the things the team pulls off don’t seem particularly plausible in real life.
- There are some unnecessary interruptions to the otherwise well flowing heist movie.

**Verdict**:

_Ocean's 13_ marks a huge improvement over the lacklustre second movie but it feels like a pale copy of the first movie.
