Ocean's 8 (2018)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5164214
This is supposed to be a heist caper movie... really? A street level 2 bit petty thief could had done what it took 8 women to do without all that glitz and shine and constant talking into earphones, oh the horror of seeing shot after shot of them talking into earphones and being very conspicuous about it!
It's also supposed to be a comedy movie... really? Not one scene was funny unless you still have the immature asinine moronic mentality of an 3 year old and you still find enjoyment in watching Anne Hathaway with her head over a toilet bowl and puking her guts out.
It's also supposed to be a thriller... really? There were no thrills, no suspense, no sense of impeding doom or menace that they were going to be caught or that the law was nipping at their heels 1/2 a step behind them.
This movie is yet another Hollywood's failed attempt to remake or reboot a movie, rewrite its original strong male cast by replacing with a female cast and celebrate woman's power.
There is nothing wrong with that, if you give the female characters something interesting and intelligent to do, it will work fantastically well:
i.e. the recent Wonder Woman and Atomic Blonde.
BUT nope, the writers of this film chose to write lazy shallow characters just for the sake of writing female characters like we have seen in the recent Ghostbusters or the many Melissa McCarthy's movies laced with juvenile locker room and toilet humor.
Finally, this is also another attempt by Hollywood to be politically correct: let's make sure we have a token Black character (or two), a token Hispanic character, a token Asian character (or two): after all, we don't want to alienate any race, do we?
This should had been called Ocean's Meh instead of Ocean's 8.
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, all great actresses in their own right who have over the years, proven themselves over and over again to be talented at making great films, should be ashamed for agreeing to do this farce just for the sake of bringing a bunch of actresses together.
I bet Ol' Blue Eyes is rolling in his grave right now after seeing how a politically correct female enpowered driven Hollywood has turned his beloved movie premise into a piece of celluloid garbage.
If any of you think I am on a personal agenda against female characters driven movie, you will be deadly sadly wrong.
I am not the only male (and female) who thought this latest entry into the forced female remakes stunk:
