London Daily Mirror (David Edwards)
YOU'RE cordially invited back into the worldâs coolest club as George Clooney and his gang of laidback criminals return for more capers in Sin City. As youâd expect from the third instalment of the planetâs slickest movie franchise, Oceanâs 13 is ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at London Daily Mirror (David Edwards)
BBC Films
After the greasy, self-indulgent mess that was Ocean's Twelve, director Steven Soderbergh brings the gang back home to Las Vegas, and proves that there is honour among thieves.

Chart Magazine
This year will be remembered as the year of the threequel. While so far they've all been a little average, Ocean's Thirteen is more than that. It's fresh and as intelligent as the two prior versions. Many probably assumed that a film with this many ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Chart Magazine
Empire Magazine [UK]
Perhaps because the experience involves watching so many A-list stars having a whale of a time, the Oceanâs movies have always felt like a party. Sadly, whereas Oceanâs Eleven was an all-inclusive affair, 2005âs Oceanâs Twelve felt like we had ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Empire Magazine [UK]
The Times of London
Itâs one of the smuggest franchises in cinema, but itâs also a guilty pleasure to watch. You know the score. Soderbergh gathers the usual suspects around Clooney and Pitt ( above, with Damon) and they pull off an impossible heist. But to make them ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at The Times of London
CNN Showbiz (Paul Clinton)
Look up the word "caper" in the dictionary, you'll find it's a prickly shrub or a frolicsome leap, a romp or gambol -- as well as an informal word for a crime, such as a theft or a heist, usually involving deception. ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at CNN Showbiz (Paul Clinton)
Cinema Blend
For the actors on set, the Oceanâs movies are a party. Famous people show up, hang out, and seem to have a lot of fun with each other .

eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)
As Steven Soderberghâs career has been strewn with the make-one-for-them/theyâll-make-one-for-you adage, the Oceanâs series was unfairly lumped into the former. At least in the beginning. Certainly gathering a powerhouse cast of actors, at least ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
I don't know when it happened, maybe sometime in the late 1990's, but I got the vibe that movies weren't being made to be fun anymore.

MovieWeb (Matt Sheehan)
I will admit that I am one of only 578 people in this entire world who genuinely enjoyed 'Ocean's Twelve.' Every other person seemed to tear the movie a new one. Still, I was skeptical about a third one, appropriately titled 'Ocean's Thirteen.'

Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
âOcean's 13â is an enjoyable bit of fluff which has no real substance and no reason to exist, except to make money, of course. The plot makes no sense.

KYW Newsradio (Bill Wine)
If the game were golf, Ocean's Thirteen would be a mulligan, a do-over. That's because the consensus (not shared here) was that the first sequel to Ocean's Eleven was self-indulgent and disappointing.

Shadows on the Wall (Rich Cline)

Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's" movies are like silk-screens. A similar caper gets printed on a different casino. In the first movie, a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack vehicle, it was the Bellagio .

The Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt)
Rolling the dice for a third time in "Ocean's Thirteen," Steven Soderbergh and his team beat the odds. Final chapters of trilogies invariably suffer from lameness.

San Francisco Chronicle
To recap: The first of the modern "Ocean's" pictures, "Ocean's Eleven," was mostly entertaining, benefiting from a strong caper plot.

I may be in the minority, but I don't consider Ocean's Twelve to be the dog that some critics have labeled it.
