GenerationofSwine on Ocean's Eight

1/10 · Jan 14, 2023

It seems like they were aiming for something similar to Ghostbusters, not just in terms of casting—though they did attempt that as well—but also with the aggressive response to negative feedback, essentially threatening people with harsh judgments if they didn’t enjoy it. The reviews ended up being very careful, all sounding somewhat hesitant to call the film dull, so instead highlighting the single worthwhile performance. Even those involved seemed uncomfortable with the idea of pressuring viewers into liking the movie. From their interviews, you could sense that they recognized its shortcomings; only a few appeared genuinely ready to defend it forcefully. The film is structured as a heist story, which usually involves comedy or action—or both—and there were attempts at humor, though many jokes fell flat. Most of the time, these comedic efforts resulted in a shrug of indifference. You could see what they were going for, but it didn't quite connect. The action sequences also felt rushed and incomplete. Ultimately, the plot revolves around a woman planning to betray the Oceans team, having the chance to do so, but then backing out at the last moment for reasons that remain unclear.
