Sondra E Very entertaining, All star cast and one of Bullock’s best works! Loved it so much I bought it!

The actresses were all great and it was made. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Julian S The cast is undeniably compelling, and, much like the all-female GHOSTBUSTERS (2016), it carries an invigorating sense of untapped potential, suggesting this is only the start. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Oceans Eight" is a film that reimagines the "Oceans 11" concept, shifting the focus from a male ensemble to a talented cast of women. While the idea was promising and featured incredible actresses like Sandra Bullock, the execution felt somewhat cheesy and lacking in depth. As a fan of Bullock’s work, I typically enjoy her films, but in this instance, despite the fun chemistry among the cast, the writing didn’t do justice to their talents. When you assemble such a star-studded group, it’s crucial to balance the roles rather than allowing one character to dominate the narrative. The goal should be to craft a cohesive story that weaves around all the actors, rather than trying to shape the story around one standout performance. In "Oceans Eight," it felt like the focus was too heavily placed on certain characters, which ultimately detracted from the overall story. The storytelling became muddled as the film tried to elevate individual performances while neglecting to give equal attention to the entire ensemble. What could have made the film stronger was a more equitable distribution of screen time, allowing each character to contribute to a grander narrative. Overall, while "Oceans Eight" is an enjoyable watch, it hasn’t compelled me to revisit it beyond this review. It serves as a decent way to pass the time, but it’s not a film that will linger in your memory or be missed in the grand landscape of cinema. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Ishara L I had prepared myself for a fun time with a caper featuring a bunch of amazing actresses, but I turned up quite disappointed towards the end. My biggest issue is that this is not an Ocean's movie and it feels wrong having it called one. What the original trilogy had, redeeming the character of the professional thieves, is that they were not doing their 'one last job' for personal gain, but either to get back at someone bad and in the process improve their financial situation drastically. This movie has none of that, and it bothers me that they decide to pick objects to pilfer that are worth more than money. Here will now follow a list of things wrong with this movie: - The plan hinges on a lot of unknown factors, biggest of all being a relationship panning out (before Anne Hathaway's character was in on it, which was a mistake to include, but I guess they wanted her in the movie till the end so they could get the badass send off in the subway) - While all are class act actresses (give or take two), the greatest ones had barely anything to do. (Although I imagine it must have been fun to make) - There are too many twists to the theft. Ocean's movies have just one big thing up their sleeves, this was thing after thing. "Oh! But you thought we did this? No we didn't!" - How on Earth did they not get caught. How did they get the technology? It's too sci-fi. I barely see Rihanna hacking (but she does do her nails, which just bothers me because it did not fit her character at all, a walking cliche). How can a bank not become suspicious about 38 mil appearing in someone who's a no one's bank account. - Riddled, riddled and infested with cliches. - I gave up paying attention when James Corden appeared, thankfully at the end, they couldn't have picked a more unsufferable person. - A security firm that has employees that fall for a simple click to a link? AND THEIR COMPUTERS ARE NOT PROTECTED AGAINST THIS? COME. ON. I wish, just someone at the writer's table would have said "No this is stupid", and more than once. Dreadful. Lazy writing. Stupid.
