I've seen a lot of negative comments about Ocians 8 being the same, not original, etc. Well it is a sequel - and sequels are supposed to be 'the same' movie - a continuation of 'the same' story.
I liked the similarities. For example when Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchet were telling the rest of the crew the details of the job the same way as George Clooney and Brad Pitt did - finishing each other's lines. I got a kick out of that.
I have all of the Ocoens DVDs in my collection - including the original. So I had to buy this one to complete the collection.
I was not disapointed. I thought it was as good as any of the others. Not the best movie ever made, but very good.
