Ocean's 13 is exactly what you want from a summer blockbuster. Endlessly entertaining, it looks great, and when it's over you don't really have to think about. You just know you spent two hours having a good time in the theater and that is enough. By no means is this the greatest thing to ever happen, but it's not trying to be.
The action returns to Vegas this time and the whole movie has a 60's European movie vibe. Split screen montages, jazzy music, camera zooms all add to this. This is much closer to the original film than Ocean's 12.
There is a plot but it doesn't really matter. The story plods along and gets better as it goes. By the final heist I had a smile on my face, not so much for the story mechanics but because the whole thing was just so much fun. And how can you not be? These films are basically just an excuse for these actors to get together and hang out and its just nice to be able to go along with the ride.
