Ocean's 14

Apparently it's happening.

A while back I sat down and finally watched all the Oceans movies including Oceans' 8. I found my mini review of all 4 movies from 4 years ago:

-------

Probably an unpopular opinion... but I didn't really like any of the Ocean's movies (11, 12, 13, ?. I just watched them for the first time. It's possible I watched the first one ages ago as parts of it seem vaguely familiar to me, but if I did it did not leave much of an impression.

I dig the quick pacing and the energy, but they all seem pretty anti-septic to me, difficult to get invested in. There's all these schemes and the execution of well thought-out plans... but no real heart to it or character arcs of any kind under the hood. At least 11 and 12 had some kind of love stories going in the background... not so with 13 or 8. Also, never once did I ever feel like anyone was ever remotely in danger, at any point. If anything, 12 seems the most interesting of the bunch as it's the only one to try and shake up the formula and get out of the "box."

8 probably gets a worse rap than it deserves. It's better and more fun than 13. A little "slower" than the trilogy, though.

I don't even really remember them now, honestly.
