plot-wise Ocean's 8 cleaves closely to the tenets of Heist Movie Lore but does little to enliven or tweak the formula. It lacks the jazzy swagger of Soderbergh's trio but delivers a fun, likeable romp built on the charm and charisma of its cast
Ocean's 8 crackles with an infectious excitement and is just as cool as George and the boys. It steals a few aspects (and some familiar faces) from the earlier films but avoids being derivative, and offers a tighter, more entertaining supporting cast
in such an atmosphere of pomp and sophistication, there's entertainment value in following the female crew as they weave among the glitterati, But there's also something dispiritingly mechanical about the movie that makes it seem a missed opportunity
a gender-swapped take on Ocean's Eleven that suffers from an absence of tension; instead of being smart and surprising, it's sloppy and predictable..It's made watchable thanks to the cast but star power alone cannot mask creative inadequacy
