Warts and all, “Ocean’s 8” is just that—a lot of guilt-free fun; quite a surprise, considering the qualitative track record of most comeback sequels we’ve gotten so far.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Oceans 8 was a great time! It does suffer from some pacing issues in the middle and I do think it’s about 20 minutes too long but as a fan of Ocean’s 11 I think this is as good a successor as one could ask for.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 22, 2023

Had Ocean's 8 been at least as visually distinct as Soderbergh undoubtedly would have made it, the movie might be more than another of Hollywood's forgettable reboot-sequel things.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 11, 2022

To call this film average would be to deny its uncanny ability to entertain.

Certainly looks beautiful. It's just too bad they forgot to make a full movie to go along with it.

| Original Score: C | Aug 21, 2021

It's OK to say Ocean's 8 isn't that great but that, in the right hands, a similar spin-off or copycat could be.

Let "Ocean's 8" be marvelous for what it is and not curved by who is in it and which chromosomes they have.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2021

The star-studded cast delivered some great performances, but ultimately, the all-women team served up their heist with a side of marketplace feminism.

| Mar 5, 2021

This is all much less clever than Soderbergh's movies, less eager to wheedle audiences' expectations or stars' vanity.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 5, 2021

Jazzy, playful music sets the tone for inoffensive, flirtatious, lighthearted crime - the kind with no repercussions and little chance of tragedy.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 7, 2020

It may not be perfect but it's still a fun moviegoing experience featuring terrific, witty performances from its A-list cast.

We feel that social bite as the gang explains why they're recruiting a woman for the job rather than a man: "A him gets noticed. A her gets ignored." In daily life, that's a tragedy, but when you're masterminding a heist, it's opportunistic gold.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2020

Ocean's 8 manages to fit itself within the Ocean's cannon while also standing on its own two feet. ... it's something worth celebrating with a martini, just like Debbie Ocean.

Should Ocean's 8 be slickly typical or typically slick? It instead falls lickity split in the middle, a heist movie with half-baked ideas and not enough of its own agenda.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020

In terms of structure and execution, it doesn't do much that we haven't seen before. But with this cast, the appeal is entirely within their chemistry.

| Original Score: B | Jul 13, 2020

Ocean's 8 continues the Ocean's Series tradition of being a fun, slick and twisty heist film. Yet, there's a little something missing that keeps it from being nearly as fun, slick and twisty as its predecessors.

The film tries to cover the logic gaps with comedy, but the jokes are so bad they somehow worsen the experience. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 5, 2020

The sparkling and in some cases, sizzling chemistry between the cast is definitely the main strength of this film. There is undeniable tension between Bullock and Blanchett especially.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2020

The pure joy of seeing this bold and thrilling film work so consistently makes it easy to overlook these minor shortcomings.

| Jun 15, 2020

The missed opportunity is what's frustrating the most. It could have been a fabulous movie.
