An Excellent Spin-Off that Stands on Its Own!

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.

I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the others in the series, too. This time they added a relation to the Ocean family, Sandra Bullocks character. The plot, while over the top, was fun. I enjoyed the few twists, though much was predictable. It was the incredible cast of great actors who had fantastic chemistry that pulled off this movie & the heist. I don’t watch movies over often, but thee was enough going on that I think I would watch this again. I particularly loved Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Sarah Paulson’s characters and their acting. Fun, Sassy. Smart. Worth watching!

I recommend these movies. Sandra Bullock is my favorite in Oceans 8. Mama Mia-Here We Go Again is very nice continuation of the first movie, Mama Mia. Will there be a 3? There are several unanswered questions in this second movie! If you love music, dancing this is a fun movie. It just might get you up out of the chair or off the couch!!1

The movie follows in the Ocean's 11 - 13 film footsteps, although it revolves around Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny Ocean. Set in NYC instead of Las Veges and features an all female cast pulling off a robbery heist at the Met Gala. The movie is a lot of fun and very enjoyable to watch - good popcorn flick.

It's not as good as the remake series, but this is still a very entertaining heist story with a descent enough twist at the end. But maybe I'm bias because I love Sandra Bullock so much.

I bought this movie for my wife. She really enjoyed at the movies so I had to buy it for her. It’s a remake of an original film but a great movie nonetheless.

This is pretty much a carbon-copy of the other ocean's films, just with an all-female lineup. I liked it.
