Ocean's 8

I had high hopes from this film especially with such a fantastic talented star cast and given that the male series with Clooney (Danny Ocean) and gang was so phenomenal.Well, Danny is dead and his sister takes over. Fresh from.prison she starts assembling her crew (fairly diversified with and Indian American, Chinese American and Black American thrown in) for the job of a.lifetime which she.planned and plotted for five years while in prison.Weak story , weak execution and disappointing climax. Such a letdown. Guess the director and writer ran out of ideas and creativity.

good movie

It arrived in good time, great condition, and its a good movie.

Fun movie, except for couple of words not used but once or twice .coild almost be a family movie. Great story great actresses

Who wrote this piece of garbage?Don’t tell me.... a PA from a modeling agency!?!It was obviously just an excuse to gather 8 famous starlets and let them pose for the camera.Every once in a while, one of glamour gals would deliver a lame line and saunter around the room to demonstrate that they were alive and not robotic.The plot was not even a pulse above arrhythmia.There was no suspense. There was no character development. This audience member had no interest in seeing Miss Ocean succeed at anything.The story didn’t even rise to the level of “silliness”.This movie died on arrival.Put Miss Ocean and the writers back in prison until they can create a story that offers the basic elements of good fiction.

Gary Ross’s “Ocean’s 8” follows Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), the sister of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), who’s revealed to have died sometime since the events of “Ocean’s Thirteen.” The cast further includes Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard Armitage, and James Corden. In a connection to the previous trilogy of films, Elliott Gould and Qin Shaobo reprise their roles as Reuben Tishkoff and The Amazing Yen. At one point, Bonham Carter claims the Eskimo put their elders out on an ice floe in a callback to “Ocean’s Twelve.”The film moves from the glitz and glam of Las Vegas to the equally glamorous world of art, history, and fashion in New York City, where the 8 plan to steal the diamonds from a famous necklace from Cartier at the Met Gala. The new cast are all fantastic additions to the franchise, with Blanchett, Rihanna, and Carter standing out as the most interesting in this narrative. The others are certainly fun and Ross shows the audience their motivation, but they don’t have quite the same consistent development through the film, which is okay as this is an ensemble heist film. In their respective roles as the mark and the insurance investigator, Hathaway and Corden are equally interesting and offer a nice change from the usual casino bosses in the earlier films.“Ocean’s 8” is a worthy addition to the franchise and, perhaps most important for a spin-off, it successfully stands alone as its own heist film. Think of the standalone Marvel films that may include some references to others in the franchise, but can be enjoyed on their own merits. The story is smart, original, and updates the heist to reflect the technology of today. Hopefully the studio supports more so that the franchise can continue.

Assuming both the DVD and Blu-ray play correctly, I'd give 4 stars for the product. I took one star off for the case being damaged. I purchased this based on the product photo showing it had a Blu-ray, DVD, and digital movie. As two other reviews mention, the front of the case I received only says Blu-ray. The case did not come in a sleeve as what may be dipicted in the product photo. When I hesitantly opened the case, there was a Blu-ray, DVD, and digital code. I was concerned the sheet said the digital movie must be redeemed by 09/30/2019. However, I scanned the QR code and was able to redeem the movie still. In case you're wondering if your order will be similar as some of us looking for all three formats, my purchase said it was sold by Best Lakes and fulfilled by Amazon.
