Ocean's Twelve (2004) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

[@paulhewes7333]

The soundtrack was top notch. European techno music and classical music.

[@bfunk-sx2wi]

One correction. None of them are down any money. The deal was if they won The Night Fox would pay their debt to Benedict in full. So the crew essentially kept the money they got from the Benedict job in the first movie. Well except for Rusty who is in the hole due to his hotels.

[@ItzMizAsh01]

I actually thought this was a really good follow up to the first film and I don’t mind the full trilogy. Glad you guys watched

[@BigBrianBruce]

Yea it’s not a bad trilogy even though 11 and 12 are great back to back watches 13 is the weakest one and spin off with the women is k but it’s doesn’t have the magic of this trilogy

[@pen-rose]

Oceans 11 is actually a remake of an original Rat Pack movie starring Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr.

[@willthorburn1985]

Vincent Cassel actually practices Capoeira and says is a fan of the Tekken games (which features the martial art). Tekken developers actually got Cassel to play a new character in the upcoming Tekken 8.

[@candice44]

Ha! That’s awesome!

[@SkullAngel002]

12:20 - "What if she's the Night Fox?" - Coincidentally, Catherine Zeta Jones starred with Sean Connery in a 1999 heist film, Entrapment, which is definitely reaction-worthy after you finish the Ocean's trilogy.

[@gchild1286]

I saw Entrapment in theaters. CZJ was extra sexy in that.

[@clevelandcbi]

​@@gchild1286That Lazer scene in the preview got me in the theater🍑😂😂😂

[@theveryworstluck1894]

Catherine Zeta-Jones... She dips beneath the lasers... oooOOOooo

[@jackmaddox4960]

I did enjoy that movie when it came out, but I kinda felt like it wasn't quite up to what I'd anticipated, given the pedigree of the leading couple.. My girlfriend used to joke the movie didn't do that well at the box office was because, as she put it, the movie "starred Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta-Jones' ass"...😜! Still, I liked it, and as you say it's definitely a good reaction choice. Just a couple quick footnotes for TBR & S, when we see czj for the first time after the flashback at the beginning, she was at her mother's funeral, where she turned and looked towards Rusty; also I don't have the movie to reference right now, but if I recall, TNF (who's definitely IS the better thief, as far as skill and technique goes, especially working alone, but his ego, and total lack of cohorts who can really make the difference in a pinch, work against him) tells Danny & Tess that he'll "pay their debt to Benedict", which I always assumed to mean he paid their WHOLE debt, meaning they could all keep whatever they had left from the original theft... I might be wrong in that regard, but it's what I've always thought happened... Lastly, if you listen to their various conversations during the flashbacks to the Naples train station scene, you can almost piece it together; there's a lot of hidden clues in what they say... And lastly, KZJ is just freakin' GORGEOUS in this movie, IMO, and the 'Lost in Translation' scene (another GREAT movie for them to watch!) is just fantastic... Oh, and P.S., does anyone remember 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover'...? Disturbingly good movie, with emphasis on the disturbing...and extra emphasis on the good part, too. I feel like no one talks about that movie anymore, but it IS reaaaally good.

[@jackmaddox4960]

I apologize, my reply was only supposed to be regarding 'Entrapment', I just wrote the rest following it, intending to copy/paste it as it's own comment at the top! It's like 5am and I'm totally wired on ice coffee, having an avoidance reaction to a work project I really should be doing, so I'm a little fuzzy on the edges... Fwiw, I hope you enjoy my rambling caffeine-induced rant about Ocean's 12... Cheers!

[@nuimaleko7]

I know it is not a popular opinion but I love this film

[@-Knife-]

I love the shenanigans that happen in 12 so much. It tricks you into thinking that the groups plans all were a train wreck, then at the end it shows you how brilliant Ocean's crew is at adapting and being masters thieves.

[@themikereda]

First time I saw this movie I didn't love how it seemed like the guys were failing the whole time. But then when I watched again knowing that they were in control the entire time it was soooooooo much better. Love this one so much. Love the more exotic locations and the score was an absolute banger.

[@PaperbackWizard]

Yeah, it was definitely an upgrade to have them going all over Europe, whereas in 13 they're back to just robbing one Vegas casino.

[@ryangreene2159]

@@PaperbackWizard I don't think 13 did anything wrong for doing that. I always saw it as a return to form, while 12 was the excursion in between. I like 12, but enjoy 13 more because of how it's all one big elaborate scheme that we watch throughout, just like 11.

[@PaperbackWizard]

​@@ryangreene2159 What's so holy about a "return to form"? Star Wars "returned to form" in Return of the Jedi when they blew up another Death Star, and they've been mocked for it ever since. Sequels are supposed to be about finding *new* things to do with the characters. And Twelve was "one story", too. It was "How did Benedict find us, and how do we pay him off?" I've never understood what was so hard about following the plot of this movie. It's pretty straightforward.

[@lionhead123]

i wouldn't call Amsterdam exotic though.

[@PaperbackWizard]

@@lionhead123 They go to more places than just Amsterdam. And it's not like they went anywhere "new" in 13.

[@JordanJMyers]

All 3 are great. Awesome reaction as always y'all.

[@devoncooper8296]

Agreed! Yes, 12 is different, but it is still great!

[@johncampbell756]

Bernie Mac was in jail for most of the film because he was only available for a few days due to filming The Bernie Mac Show. I love all the non-verbal conversations between characters, especially Danny and Rusty. Julia Roberts married Danny Moder, a cinematographer, in 2002. Julia was pregnant while filming. The film was scheduled to be released in November 2004 when she would be 8 months pregnant as she gave birth in December. So that's why she had to have a fake baby while actually pregnant. Catherine Zeta Jone actually fell out of her chair during poker and Soderberg kept it. Tess helping made it Ocean's 12. The meet LeMarc (Albert Finney was uncredited) at George Clooney's house in Lake Como, Italy. The cast stayed at his house during filming.

[@LordVolkov]

You two nailed why 12 is a drop-off. The individual characters don't get to shine as bright. 13 is a return to form.

[@TehFrenchy29]

Agreed. Ocean's 12 is still absolutely a fun movie, and at worst I think it's kinda "okay", but it doesn't feel as tight and character driven as the first one or as fun and excessive as the third one and suffers compared to both. Easily the weakest of the three in my opinion, though I do still like it at the end of the day, I just love the other two by comparison.

[@LordVolkov]

@@TehFrenchy29 100% Still good fun, love the soundtrack, and the cinematography.

[@nth_to_see_here]

The vibe, the banter between characters, dialogues, atmosphere is still great Just the heist aspect is a letdown. Too chaotic and we can't actually see the plan forming as it goes.

[@motombocolombo]

For me it's the best Ocean's movie. It's a crazy master thief competition all over Europe and i love it.

[@i_so_late]

nah 13 is the worst one

[@simonevirden2254]

I think this was a slower film, but more cerebral, twistier, and really funny. I enjoy it as much as 11 and 13. Enjoy!

[@michellecrocker2485]

I like seeing rusty in love. It’s sweet and to have feelings for someone intelligent and tough like Isabel? Double win

[@coreyhendricks9490]

Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both take care and have a good night

[@Jordashian93]

I love these heist films, and love how well the actors work together.

[@roosterm4603]

Did you know that Matsui is Robbie Coltrane, Hagrid from Harry Potter and Gaspar LeMarc is Albert Finney? Hey played Hercules Poirot in the original Murder on the Orient Express. The same film also starred Jean-Pierre Cassel - the father of Vincent Cassel, who plays Nightfox....I love this stuff!

[@reservoirdude92]

Steven Soderbergh took $50 million of Warner Bros. money and made an experimental heist film. The cinematography, the editing, atmosphere.. it's unbelievable how much carte blanche Soderbergh had with this, because you don't see filmmaking like that in most Hollywood productions. Also, David Holmes went TOO hard on the score for this ❤

[@kojiattwood]

It certainly has much more of an art-house film feel to it, which is why it probably wasn't terribly well received. But I've enjoyed this one much more upon repeated viewings to the point where it's my favourite of the four (counting the original).

[@reservoirdude92]

​@@kojiattwoodanybody who says this film is "the worst one" of the series, I don't take seriously lol

[@thedefinitionisthis]

In terms of pure storytelling, it probably is the worst of the trilogy. That being said, this is the entry I tend to have the most fun watching, just because it's so willing to take chances, be different, and shake up the formula of what you expect with these types of capers.

[@stsolomon618]

This was a solid sequel, and it is a fun film.

[@johnmaynardable]

The scene with the dance through the laser light beams is a reference to a film that Catherine Zeta-Jones made with Sean Connery called Entrapment.

[@aleatharhea]

RIP Carl Reiner

[@kimmomaki]

just the presence of Albert Finney is enough to make this movie worth watching. For his mid-career stuff, I love 'Under The Volcano'. Of course, the novel it's based on is possibly the best ever written.

[@joelwillems4081]

RIP Albert Finney.

[@CaesiusX]

His portrayal as *Ebenezer Scrooge* in the 1970 musical gets me every time. I get teary-eyed every time he sings about letting *Isabelle* go in the _Christmas Past_ segment. 😥

[@brucef310]

Fun fact a lot of people don't know. The housel where the fox lived at is actually George clooney's home in lake Como Italy. You let all the actors stay there if they wanted to for the duration of the shoot.

[@hippiechic6772]

Love this so much!!!! I have heard out of the trilogy that Ocean's Twelve is the least welcomed but for me I Love them all!!!! This is a great reaction from you both TBR& Sam..... thank you both for this and I will happily watch this again and again. Looking forward to your Ocean's Thirteen reactions as well as many more

[@mmclaurin8035]

When it comes to how expensive their equipment is, I always assumed they stole it all.

[@FrancoisDressler]

I love this film to death. My favourite in the series.

[@troy34bronze]

The scene where Matt Damon is walking through London alone was filmed while he was working on The Bourne Supremacy by the director of that film.

[@brucef310]

That part I didn't know.

[@lizd2943]

This script started out as a movie called Honor Among Thieves about 2 high class thieves competing to see who was the best. They turned it into an Ocean's 11 sequel by splitting one thief into 12.

[@Britcarjunkie]

Fun fact for those not familiar with Amsterdam: All of the old gable houses in the original center of the city, are built on pier posts that were driven into the sea floor, and often need to be replaced with age. If you walk along the canals, you'll notice some of them have wooden braces placed against the fronts of them, because the pier posts become weak, and the houses begin to lean! That's why they came up with the idea of raising the house, because it's actually very easy to do - if you know what you're doing.

[@shainewhite2781]

Yay! More crazy adventures with Danny Ocean and his friends!

[@sean-ew2qv]

LeMarc is also in the fantastic film Big Fish. Watch it!

[@alainvosselman9960]

What i love about this trilogy is that they are all great movies. There's so much chemistry going on between the actors. The first one was very cinematograpic in style, the sequal seems not aimed at that specific mode. It's the plotting that gets more complex.

[@williamrosmer8381]

12 was originally a completely separate film called honor among thieves. Then the studio made it a sequel to oceans 11

[@chanceneck8072]

Thank you guys! I LOVE this movie. 10/10!! 🥰😘

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

This is my favorite of the three. It's its own animals.

[@gchild1286]

One of the many things I love about this movie is this entire movie is the Ocean’s crew tricking Nite Fox into paying their debt to Benedict (as payback for ratting them out)! They’re better than Nite Fox because they won. They’re all criminals. Cheaters by trade. This is the ultimate “Scoreboard !” And no. Ocean’s 11 are still millionaires. Nite Fox paid their debt. As well, every job they pull has cost. They spend money to make way more money.

[@serlotsadoe]

I loved the soundtrack for this one

[@markgettemeyer1145]

This one is complex (not that the first one wasn’t), I think it’s just a little harder to follow. Still thoroughly enjoy this sequel.

[@VonPunk]

First two Vincent Cassel movies I ever saw were 'La Haine' (1995) & 'Dobermann' (1997) both are worth a look if you ever want to check out some French cinema and/or his early work.

[@candice44]

My fav Ocean’s film hands down, and prob my favorite Soderbergh

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The Night Fox stole the decoy Faberge egg that the museum had and sometime display instead of the real one. The museum had to display the decoy since the actual egg was stolen days earlier.

[@alltree78]

The 3rd is in my opinion the best, you both will love it but they are all great

[@JonathanFaber]

Great job guys! Yes, definitely watch Miller's Crossing! My favorite Coen brothers film.

[@tber124]

A good hang out movie. It didn’t follow a Hollywood formula which is why it didn’t do so well during its release. But I personally think it’s the best outta the 3

[@Lloyd00]

People complain about this not being a heist movie. It's not supposed to be. The point is to show that who you know is just as important as what you know! What makes Danny and crew the best is their skills AND connections! NightFox would've never challenged them if he knew their relationship with LeMarc was stronger than his

[@jasonmadness7091]

I love you guys, ya'll are such a cute, great couple. Keep it up! God bless you two from deep in the ❤ of Texas

[@davidfausel9029]

Albert Finney, who appears here, is also one of the main leads, ironically, in MILLER'S CROSSING - which is mentioned near the start of this video. You guys have done Coen Brother - but I am hoping you get to Miller's Crossing by them. My all-time favorite movie and one of Gabriel Byrne's best performances ever.

[@captainofdunedain3993]

Great movie! 8:47 was my fav scene!

[@jrobwoo688]

Another heist film I enjoy is funnily enough called Heist. Starring Danny DeVito and Gene Hackman.

[@gregwodzynski941]

And the score with de Niro, ed Norton, and Marlon Brando

[@Jerzeejaylive]

Yes! It feels like nobody knows about that Heist. It doesn’t help there’s another film with the same name. I love everything about that film, even down to the lingo they use. Super underrated film. I love telling people about that gem of a movie.

[@shadowvessel]

You guys are awesome. A lot of people don't really get this one. It took me a few watches to wrap my brain around it. I don't see it as a heist movie, but a con movie. We the audience are conned from the moment Danny makes the bet with the Fox. He tells Danny that it was shipped out that morning. They'd already gotten it. 🤯 Plus I love all the banter between everybody. Lol

[@bas7467]

I was just at the coffeeshop named de Dampkring that is in the movie and the Central station of Amsterdam.

[@alexhidalgo7110]

[@esclad]

You guys need to check out the new British movie 'Saltburn'. It's a masterpiece imho. It's mind-bending, shocking, disgusting, funny, sad and worth all the hype!

[@jno5]

You really need to watch ‘Entrapment’ again with Katherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery….

[@robertmartin9029]

They had to do something different with this film, to avoid being just a remake. I enjoy that they were ultimately putting one over on the Night Fox and showing that they were better was the true aim of the film. I'm sure that part of the reason that some characters weren't as involved is because their actors were only available for a limited time and they had to reduce their time on screen. It isn't that unusual, particularly if they did not have a contract past the first film since it wasn't intended to be a franchise at first.

[@chanceneck8072]

Yeah, the Julia Roberts thing was the point where many people thought, it was too much. But let me tell you this: This is REAL. Last night, we met a guy in a pub in Germany, who looked almost IDENTICAL to Matt Walsh! 😅🤭 I would post the picture we made on my community tab, but I don't wanna violate that guy's privacy rights. Since we did not know him. But he spoke German and his voice wasn't as deep. But it sure enough was Matt Walsh.....

I always felt that Matt Damon is closer to himself in these movies than any other role he's played. 😊

[@yeahright8970]

I recommend ‘Out of Sight’ movie with George Clooney & J.Lo. It’s pretty decent.

[@El_Jefe_Zamora]

25:00 mark, Danny is Julia Robert’s real husband’s name. Danny Moder I believe is his name. It just so happens that Danny Ocean is Tess’ husband.

[@nirfz]

As someone already said, they don't own Benedict any money anymore, the nightfox had to pay "their debt". And in general Benedict got his money replaced by the insurrance like he said in the beginning, so he was jut blackmailing them to have the money back without giving the insurrance money back. And as they didn't have to pay from their own savings (or what was left from the 11 heist,) they are at the same wealth as when the movie started.

[@thomaskelly8580]

Terrific reaction! _Thanks!_ I highly recommend *The Mexican* (2001), starring *Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts* and *James Gandolfini.* Truly delightful. *_I think you'll love it!_* AND *Spy Game* (2001) with *Brad Pitt* and *Robert Redford.* Additional recommendations: *_The Fisher King_* (1991) Directed by _Terry Gilliam,_ with _Robin Williams_ & _Jeff Bridges._ 🤠 The western *_Silverado_* (1985) is a *fun* western with a very young _Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Kline_ and more. Written and directed by *_Lawrence Kasdan.¹_* Another Western worth watching IMO is *The Quick and the Dead* (1995) starring _Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone_ and _Gene Hackman._ Be well! 🙋🏼‍♂️ ··•●✺●•·· ¹ ─ Co-writer of the _Star Wars_ films _The Empire Strikes Back_ (1980), _Return of the Jedi_ (1983), and _The Force Awakens_ (2015). He also co-wrote _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ (1981).

[@CineRam]

The Night Fox told Danny that HE would pay back what they stole from Terry Benedict, if they managed to steal the egg...which they did. So the gang isn't broke, they still have all of what they didn't spend from the first movie's haul. NF is now $198 million poorer...not that he's hurting because of it. But I'd say his ego took another hit. My favorite part of this movie is Julia Roberts pretending to be herself. Sam clocked it WAY early, though she didn't know it. Neither did I, until Linus spoke about how the museum would reduce security for her because she looks like...and I thought, "No! They can't do that, that's insane!" But they did, and I love that they did. It's actually the reverse of a throwaway joke in the first movie, where a bunch of photographers are getting shots of the TV actors after their poker lesson, but Brad & George are ignored.

[@Wash869]

I have a suggestion for a fim for you to react to: SCREAM 3 (2000), a very fun and surprising sequence, you'll enjoy it

Eleven is the best but I honestly think Thirteen is better than Twelve. Just my opinion.

[@dominicflores4756]

The meeting with Metzuie was a lost in translation prank lol

[@thedefinitionisthis]

When it was released, this movie definitely was widely seen as a massive step down from the first film. I think it's because everyone expected your typical heist/caper film where the team is assembled, you work your way through the plan, a few hiccups along the way, but at the end the group still nabs their target. With Ocean's 12, I actually appreciated that they messed with that formula a bit, and we get to really see the group kinda have their backs against the wall every step of the way. Was it a bit too Hollywood meta for its own good? Maybe. Does it require a gigantic leap in logic? Absolutely. When you realize a good 3/4 is essentially a ruse, it does test whether or not you can accept the film/plan as a whole. But end of the day, I personally really love this movie because it's so unlike the other 2 films in the trilogy. The way it's shot with the old school truck-ins and a more saturated cinematography to go with the European flavor of the film really sets it apart. Not only that, but i just love the dialogue and banter between the characters. Considering at the time, Matt Damon was becoming somewhat of an action star with the Bourne movies, it was hilarious to see him play a character who's so hapless and confused by what's happening, despite his best efforts to assert himself as an alpha on a team. The movie really did feel like Clooney and co. just wanted to go to Europe for a paid vacation... and honestly, I didn't mind because as a viewer, I was having a great time watching lol.

[@genghisgalahad8465]
