 Sylvia exists. We prepare for this. We will not be the prime suspect So now we have the fourth film in the oceans film franchise But does it hold up to the rest? Let's find out. My name is Brandi Keith Avery and this is just my opinion Hey, what's going on guys? Thank you so much for tuning into my opinion slash review for oceans eight I really do appreciate it. So of course when oceans came out I was intrigued but at the same time I was a little skeptical like oh, they're gonna make a fourth film Who's gonna be in charge? Who's gonna be behind the camera? Is it gonna hold up as good as the rest? The only difference is this does not have a predominantly male cast like the past three films This is a all-female cast and I think that that's pretty good I didn't really like the way it was marketed when it first came out like a female version of oceans I kind of just feel like that's kind of crapping on women But I kind of got over that one. I saw more than one marketing material coming out and you know It was just you know looking real good now like I said, this is a spin-off One of the things I was concerned about is is this actually related to the other films other than it being called ocean Yes, Sandra Bullock's character named debut ocean She is the brother of Danny or Daniel ocean played by George Clooney in all the previous films Now difference between this film in the past is all those was directed and I believe directed and written by Stephen Soderbergh He has various distinct style of the style in directing He has a lot of scenes to where there's just a ton of walking or just camera painting around and it's nothing but music in the background of the soundtrack You know some people like that a friend of mine. I know his girlfriend She specifically said that she did not like that which is why she didn't like that film Hey, why are that Steven Soderbergh did as well? I happen to like it though I think it's a nice touch and kind of just makes him stand out from all other directors in Hollywood But he's not directing this film who is Gary Ross is who is the writer and director? I love all of Gary Ross's films. He did Pleasantville See biscuit mine and love see biscuit, but I like that a lot the hunger games and the free state of Jones And so he is behind the camera on this but related and relating to Steven Soderbergh as well I did find a lot of directorial elements of Soderbergh in this film even though he did not direct it So I kind of list like how I You know, I don't know if that was just done on purpose or it was a kind of a natural or organic thing But that was just one way that this film actually did feel like it fit within the universe of the Paris previous films and so This film is oceans eight is not oceans 11 12 and 13 So there are only eight characters Sandra a main characters Sandra a bullet Kate Blanchett and Hathaway Mindy Kaling Sarah Paulson aquafina or aquafina Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter They all did a fairer job. I don't necessarily have a character in this cast that stands it out More than the rest or a personal favorite to me. I like them all they serve the purpose. They did the job pun intended But Sandra Bullock she was the main character in this movie One thing that I just really liked her in this film is early on in the film. It's show just You know, what I don't know there was dialogue But you really just kind of got a sense of her character and how she just really doesn't give a crap and just kind of kind of do What she wants to do to get over I can you can respect it, but you can also despise it. That's just depending on you. No judgment But it did do a great job of just telling you or showing you how talented she is Of a criminal and how she just was finesse scene after scene after scene to where it was comical We left like man, she's a good-ass thief, you know, I'm saying she's a good-ass con artist, you know And so that's just kind of weird to say that, you know, I'm praising con artists and thieves and things like that But you know, hey It is what it is. But you know, I said nobody can stand out But I guess Sandra Bullock the main character in this movie She did stand out now a gripe that I did have kind of as I was watching the movie is You know when they're coming together with their plan and their group one thing that I really did like about Ocean's 11 is it really just didn't seem random. It seemed like, you know, the group of guys that work together They used to work together all the time with a number of jobs and you know, once the job was over, you know, they Go about their separate ways, but they know that they're not out of the game It's kind of like they're waiting on that next phone call that next email that text to do the next job That wasn't the way it felt here in Ocean's 11 It did feel a little bit random and there were just really no not a tight-knit relationship between the characters Not that it was so much in the past three films But I did feel that more and those films that I did this one And you know, the really the Ocean's trilogy the original there. I mean, they're all separate films, but Them a warranting a sequel did feel organic because you have the first one which kind of was revenge And then the second one was retaliation and then the third one was, you know Kind of like a keep your friends close But your enemies closer to provide because they teamed up with Terry Benedict, you know Who they was robbing the first one. So it was organic. This one right here You know, it's a spin-off. So that's just like one of the another reason why it just did not have that That camaraderie between the group that kind of made me love the first film so much But there was also some things in this movie I was just like, okay Oh, they're gonna copy off the original and there were element or two word they did and I kind of like roll my eyes Oh, man, I mean, this isn't anything fresh or they're not really adding anything new Like the original trilogy all those things is very very different to me at least in my opinion But there were some points in this movie to where they did kind of like bit by beat like literally verbatim Copy a same plot device in this in part one and I didn't like that it kind of bought the film down for me You know at the moment Other than that there are a number of callbacks to the original trilogy again The planning in this movie was very fun I do like how they was trying, you know, just it's just kind of fun to see how they're planning out this super-duper plan of to you know, steal these diamonds or these jewels and Things like that, but when I crapped on it this film copying off the other one a little bit There were a number of redeeming qualities that came up in the middle of this film the second act and also towards the end To where they did reveal some things that you really thought I guess that's the movie but no it the plot gets thicker and thicker and thicker and they reveal more and more and more And this behind the scene and that right there and so while they did kind of copy off the past him. There was also Look, they gave you one element to copy it off Oceans 11 They gave you two or three more elements that Oceans 11 did but they did better or something completely different that those films didn't do at all So it kind of erased my complaint that I had before there But when the film ended I was surprised and I was like, okay This is a worthy sequel or worthy spin-off from the other one The only other thing that I really just did not care for was what they did with With George Clooney's character in this movie. I wanted a little bit more I'm not gonna tell you or give you any details of how it relates But I was like, ah man, I wish they could have written that in just a little bit more But that's just only a normal right if I had to rate Oceans 8 out of 1 out of 10 I would give it an 8 out of 10. Yes in 8 out of 10. But guys, that's just my opinion for Oceans 8 I mean, have you seen it or do you want to see it? How about turns you on have I turned you off?
