Ocean's 8

Ocean’s 8 est un plagiat féminisé (en aucun cas un spin-off) fatigué et artificiel d’Ocean’s Eleven dans lequel chaque tentative d’humour… et surtout chaque tentative de quoi que ce soit est foireuse. Ce film ne fait pas mieux qu’un S.O.S Fantômes 3 de Paul Feig et, à eux deux, ils peuvent se partager le titre ex æquo du ramasse-fric le plus outrageux de ces dernières années. (16/02/2021)

A film full of irony. Partially because of Sandra Bullock, who phones it in the entire time and somewhat cruises through the heist, leaving the attention to others and allowing Anne Hathaway to effortlessly become the queen with her cheeky role tailor-made for her. But mainly because the whole gang sticks together only by chance, and the viewer is only on the same wavelength with them at pivotal moments – all for James Corden to walk away with all the glory at the very end. For how half-heartedly the whole spin-off behaves, it doesn't even reach halfway in the genre. (08/06/2018)

Ocean’s 8 is not that different from Ocean’s Eleven. Same number of famous actresses, I had the same neutral feeling about each of them, only Cate Blanchett looked at least a bit like a femme fatale and Helena Bonham Carter didn’t disappoint with her standard avant-garde style. Otherwise the movie was full of characters without emotions. And there was a plan whose probability to succeed was 1 to a billion. Moreover, same things keep happening over and over again so the ending is full of “shocking” moments which prove how Sandra Bullock had this genius robbery of the millennium all thought out. Same old, same old over and over again. The interesting thing is that I do like the individual actresses but I had quite a hard time to get to like any one of them in this movie. I don’t know if it is a trademark of this type of movies but it was the same with Ocean’s Eleven. (11/09/2019)

I didn't really buy it, but it was a very pleasant surprise. A very strong female cast, dominated by Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway, but Cate Blanchett and Rihanna are also good. The film keeps a solid pace throughout and I really enjoyed watching the planning of the heist as well as the execution, which was delivered intelligently and engagingly enough with a nice final twist included. I also liked the insurance man Columbo, so a decent heist entertainment. 80%. (30/08/2018)

Sandra Bullock and her crew are about to steal a three-pound diamond necklace, and they want to look good doing it. Ocean’s 8 wants to be as cool as Ocean’s Eleven, but this gang lacks the charm and some serious thievery to pull it off. Instead, there's plenty of luxury, expensive clothes and jewellery, and all too often the feeling that you're looking at an overpriced fashion catalogue rather than a heist crime comedy. (27/07/2018)
