Three times a charme

I was in the mood for some light entertainment, so I decided to see a
movie. There are three movies out there right now that were perfect for
that and coincidental, each of them is the third installation of a series. Of course I am talking about Pirates 3, Shrek
3 and Ocean thirteen. I decided to go for the Ocean's franchise,
because it got the best reviews of them and I really like heist movies.
I didn't expect much, considering the previous one, Ocean's twelve,
pretty much sucked. When I came out of the theatre, I felt the movie
was better than 'twelve' but felt short to the first one 'Ocean's eleven'.
It's a fast paced movie, a cool setting in Vegas and
some neat technical gadgets. And that's pretty much it. The story was
bouncing all over the place and there was no real twist, you couldn't
see coming from 10 miles away. The acting was good, but there wasn't
much of an interesting dialog going on, mainly because of quick cuts
between scenes.
Maybe it's because I've seen so many heist movies, that
I can anticipate the story too much to really get surprised. Here is a
tip to Hollywood, make a movie were the good guy doesn't get the gold,
to keep me guessing the next time.
Overall, a solid 3 movie.
