Best New Pg 13 Movies (2024 Updated)

Alright so this was my first time ever doing pickup and I had a little trouble with the app and checking in but thats on me lol. and a near by pickup associate informed me I should go inside because I selected in store pickup.

I go inside get the movie , dude says im all checked out I walk out and halfway home I notice the sensor casing is still attached. I go to a different Walmart (Salem Crossing) and the electronics associate helped me out and removed the sensor.

Im happy I got the movie. Im sad the casing was attached and I didnt notice. Im happy the Electronic associate on duty was able to help me graciously. :).

I bought this for my Spider-Man obsessed 4 year old. He loves Spider-man. I bought the Blu-ray Disc set. Great quality and affordable price. Crystal clear picture and the discs came with beautiful artwork on them.

I got a new 4K OLED TV and Spiderman blu-ray looks great. The disc info said it was displaying 4K which was a nice surprise. The dynamic range was at SDR. Very happy with the picture quality and bought it at a great price for the two movies.

The 4K version does come in Dolby Vision and still need to find out if there is a difference between HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

The movie itself is a wonderful animated film that is a tribute to the comics of the 1950s. But for the bluray it’s great except. again not a interesting title screen! Just a image with the buttons on the bottom.

DC films always do this which bother me and they don’t even do music. But otherwise I love the picture, the bonus features.

This was originally released in 2008 and I’m sure it was brought back to capitalize on the upcoming Justice League film. The animation is GREAT, the voice work is top notch. It gets a little bogged down in storytelling because there isn’t enough time.

Overall, it’s a very worthwhile purchase and I like the new art on the blu ray cover.

Another great DC animated adventure! Too bad their live-action flicks aren’t handled with as much care as their animated ones. At any rate. great quality Blu-ray for a great price, and the Digital copy to add to our family’s locker is always a plus!.

I thoroughly enjoyed Priceless, a Christian film about human trafficking. While the subject matter was pretty heavy, it was treated in the film with dignity. Loved how the unlikely hero’s transformation led to a life-changing experience.

Very well done.

I bought this movie to watch with my mother. It didn’t quite interest her, but I went ahead and finished watching it. It wasn’t necessarily a bad movie, so I would still recommend it. it just wasn’t as good as I had hoped it would be.

Heartwarming story that leaves you with hope. Gives you reasons to think about sec trafficking and what becomes of them.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a hilarious modern-day cult classic. While I wish it’d gotten more recognition upon its initial release, I’m glad that it’s developed a loyal legion of fans. It was a delight to go to midnight screenings when I lived in Denver and see the audience get a little more crowded each screening.

It’s a visual and sonic delight and unlike anything else out there. Wright really knocked it out of the park here and I consider it his best movie thus far. Universal gives Scott Pilgrim vs The World an extra life thanks to a genuinely excellent 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release.

Even sourced from a 2K DI, this Dolby Vision transfer is a notable improvement over its 1080p counterpart with a highly immersive Dolby Atmos mix to match. Bonus features may be the same batch as before but they’re all very informative and worth the time to pick through.

Grab your sword of self-respect and upgrade! Highly Recommended.

I know I’m in a dreadful minority, but I love these characters and this story! I bought the books, the video game, and the film on BluRay and now on 4K BluRay. If you have the BluRay, It’s ok to pass on this version.

You’re not getting anything new in special features. The soundtrack and score are amazing in Dolby Atmos, but again equally impressive in TrueHD like the 1080p BluRay. The colors are slightly ramped up, as is the music, but you can only polish a diamond so much.

The original BluRay already maximized the space with several commentaries, lots of behind the scenes stuff, and deleted scenes. Truth is I actually prefer the original BluRay for the 8-bit Universal opening theme and the original DVD Universal menu.

If you are a fan of the books and/or game, and DON’T own this film, then the 4K BluRay isn’t a BAD place to start. It’s just not one of those films that is helped by HDR. Pick up the regular BluRay instead.

From a visual standpoint, the 4K remaster of Scott Pilgrim impresses with better color grading in terms of skin tones and a bump in resolution for certain scenes. It’s really in the audio department with the addition of a Dolby Atmos track that this remaster shines.

With spacial elements used throughout the movie ( i. e. , crowds in the background and the sound of one evil EX swirling around the viewer) , the movie comes alive and truly elevates the experience for the audience.

Buy this 4K for the audio ( and maybe not so much for the visual upgrade ).

This is easily one of the worst James Bond movies I have seen, and I’ve seen them all. Doesn’t even feel like James Bond. You don’t care about any of the characters. Big talk show. The action, when there is any, is good.

Way too long for what it is. I personally never cared for the Daniel Craig James Bond. Too much drama and feelings. The original James Bond was fun to watch and didn’t take himself that serious. This should be an action movie, not some love story drama.

Playing into today’s “politically correct” world the new 007 was of course a black woman, what in itself didn’t bother me, but they could have picked somebody that could show some personality. She was extremely stiff, no personality.

Don’t necessarily blame the actress, there’s just so much she can do with the material she was given. Overall, the movie is a huge let-down. Don’t know what the people giving this 5 stars were watching, couldn’t have been the same movie I was watching.

Great movie, looks incredible in 4K, too. Yes, the special features are only on the UHD disc. but, in response to the other complaints here, why buy a UHD disc if you don’t want the movie on the disc with special features? I also love collecting the iTunes digital copies and was mad that the previous “Daniel Craig Collection” only included VUDU codes.

It does seem ultra inconsistent for 4 of his movies to have VUDU only and one to be iTunes only. I’d love to choose for both. Anyway, Universal distributed this movie, instead of FOX, so I assume that’s the big change (still no MoviesAnywhere though.

C’mon Bond franchise!!) Also, Walmart sold VUDU to Fandango, so that’s an irrelevant complaint. And every retailer sells the same movie, so why would anyone assume the store chain controls what’s on the discs? Silly.

Anyway, if you love 4K, DO get the disc. Discs always are superior to streaming quality!.

The film itself looks great. I have issues with some of the plot points and the direction they took with this one. The biggest reason I am knocking it a star is for how they handled the digital copy.

Welcome to the age of DRM where you have to have 20 different accounts to manage. I bought this primarily for the disc to complete my Bond set. I will be making a custom liner and getting a separate 6 tray blu ray case so that I can have a complete 25 film Bluray Bond Collection.

Be warned that the digital copy is only redeemable on Apple TV which is something I have no intention of ever using. This is ridiculous. Most digital copies give you a choice of provider. So now I have to link yet another account to Movies Anywhere and jump through further hoops just to watch a digital copy.

It’s still worth picking up for the disc, but just be aware that your options for digital are limited.

I purchased this 4K version of the movie online from one Best Buy location. When I went to pick it up I received the movie without the Slip Case. I asked if they had the slip case and I was told they did not.

I decided to purchase the movie from another Best Buy location. They also didn’t have the slip case art work. I know it’s a small thing to nitpick about, but I wanted to buy this version of the movie not only for the movie itself, but for the artwork presentation as well.

The movie is fantastic, but if it’s going to be sold without the exclusive artwork the product should appear as represented.

I found this really competed with Spider-Man: Homecoming for best live-action Spidey film. Far from Home is equivalent to an amusement park ride, just an onslaught of entertainment. The story takes a different path.

Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland), whose past films have been intertwined with New York City, finds himself on a trip across Europe, resulting in some really scenic visuals. (There is one scene in the Netherlands that is just superb.

) Also Peter Parker is on a higher tier of crime fighting, and it’s a decent story arc as he has to deal with it. There are a couple of moments where this movie did some surprising things. Dealing with the events from Infinity War and Endgame is done surprisingly well.

Be sure to watch through the entire credits. Trust me. The entire film, like the last one, is pretty funny. More time is spent focusing on Peter’s classmates and other supporting cast and they all really shine.

At times, the high school rom-com part of this movie can dominate the superhero part, and I really didn’t mind. Also glad we got Happy Hogan, who continues to sort of be Spider-Man’s handler, and I’m glad that Jon Favreau’s still willing to play the role given his busy directing career.

As with most MCU movies, the effects and visuals really stand out. There are a couple fights that are fairly different from past Marvel films. I’m both surprised and pleased that they managed to translate Mysterio’s costume to film, dome helmet, eye-pyramid cape clasps,.

It’s just that superhero films have historically cared less about accurately maintaining villain outfits and between this and Aqua Man, it’s nice to see a change. I honestly feel this ties with Homecoming for best live-action film.

This is a lighter film, and I honestly can’t say this was most experimental or deepest in tone or message. But, this is a movie that just wants to be fun, and it really does that.

Shipping was fast, and appears to be in good condition. Mostly disappointed it didn’t include the slipcase, which is what the product image features. The case coverart just doesn’t look as good as the “two-face” Spider-Man image.

I know slipcases are less likely after a movie has been out for a while, but since Best Buy hadn’t changed the product image I hoped maybe they still had them. But I’m sure most people won’t care about a slipcase, so if you liked Spider-Man: Homecoming you will probably enjoy this movie.

I haven’t watched my copy yet, but I would recommend getting the 4k blu-ray if you are looking to purchase Far From Home – it comes with a regular blu-ray if you aren’t set up for 4k yet.

This is one of the best blockbusters of summer 2017. I was excited to watch it in theaters and I was anticipating getting a copy to watch at home on my home entertainment system. Without spoiling any of the movie, I am really glad that Marvel/Disney and Sony were able to work out contractual complexities of Hollywood movie studios and produce a really great film that fits into the greater MCU.

Spider-man is funny and none of the origin story had to be retold. The movie production quality was spot on and the story was entertaining throughout. Technical aspects of digital transfer in this version is great and true to form as it was in theaters.

I have a very highend HDR 4K TV that is able to produce all the nuances of the HDR10 and DolbyVision standards and the quality was spot on. I really enjoy the fact that no only does the 4K disc come at highest quality but I have access to the content from most major online content vendors as a part of the Movies Anywhere network.

So I can watch my digital copies on iTunes, Vudu, Amazon and Google. If you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) you will need to watch this as the character development and appearance will appear in future movies.

Spider-man: Homecoming warrants owning a copy as it was very entertaining and has replay value. 5 full stars and 2 thumbs way up!.

I enjoyed the movie at the theaters. While watching the 4K UHD disc, I even forget a few scenes that made me laugh again. Another Marvel hit for me. It’s entertaining, has Marvel action & a few laughs here & there.

I haven’t watched the bluray disc. The digital copy will redeem in UHD at Google & VUDU when registering thru Movies Anywhere. The 4K disc is great and surround sound is good. I didn’t notice anything in regards to Atmos levels; so didn’t hear anything that stood out in my ceiling speakers.

My player doesn’t support Dolby Vision, so can only commit on the HDR. I’d say nominal experience there; nothing too outstanding that stood out. I’ll resample the Dolby Vision after Thanksgiving when I pickup an Oppo 203 player.

This movie is probably #2 or #3 in my favorite movies list for 2017.

Tom Holland is hands down the best Spiderman. He has the wise crack jokes while fighting and non stop chatting but also has the awkward nerdy teen. Perfect mix of comic book spiderman with a lil bit of something new.

This Robert Rodriguez-directed science-fiction movie was made by a wonderful cast and crew and produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau; thus, it should not be surprising that this movie features great action and groundbreaking special effects.

The dystopian landscape presented here is effective and compelling. Unlike some futuristic dystopian stories, however, this one has warmth. Rosa Salazar’s Oscar-worthy performance as Alita provides the heart and soul to this CGI-generated character, resulting in a most endearing heroine.

Due to both Ms. Salazar’s “performance capture” and the CGI magic provided by the New Zealand VFX company, Weta Digital, it becomes easy to forget that one is watching a CGI-generated image instead of a real person.

Among several other performances that are worthy of note, Christoph Waltz’s portrayal of Doctor Ido contributes to a father-daughter dynamic with the Alita character that is relatable and ultimately rewarding to behold.

Moreover, Tom Holkenborg’s soundtrack not only succeeds in intensifying the drama and augmenting the emotional highs and lows, but is also a lovely work of art in itself. Be warned, however, that Alita’s journey cannot be contained by a single movie.

Therefore, you might run the risk of craving for more. At the time of this writing, the possibility of a sequel is uncertain. Fortunately, this movie is very rewatchable and holds up very well to multiple viewings.

The special features that are included are both interesting and informative and further makes this movie worthwhile to own. Highlights include the description of the backstory to Alita’s world and several scenes showcasing the raw, pre-animated motion capture performances.

The latter will give the viewer a greater appreciation of the work of Ms. Salazar and other cast and crew.

My first time seeing Alita was in IMAX 3D, and I didn’t want to leave the theater after total immersion in an amazing world with an inspiring heroine full of heart, joy, and determination to “not stand by in the presence of evil!” The movie is groundbreaking in that the protagonist we follow is completely computer generated in a world that looks real, while showing more heart and emotion than the live actors.

Rosa Salazar’s heartfelt performance as Alita shines through the artistry and special effect wizardry of nearly every scene. The story brought me to tears several times with its completely relatable humanity.

The action scenes in 3D were more spectacular than any in the other big budget spectacle movies I’ve seen. The fight choreography and cinematography were fluid and incredible to follow. The soundtrack perfectly complements the emotions and stakes in each scene.

Altogether, this movie was the greatest experience I’ve ever had in a theater, and I am looking forward to bringing it home on Blu-Ray to enjoy many times with family and friends as the best and most rewatchable movie I have ever seen!.

Stunning visual eye candy! Storyline could’ve been a bit compelling, but mainly purchased to experience the eye candy visuals anyway. Actors were an interest factor for my purchase of this film also.

Can’t go wrong with Christoph Waltz and main character was fascinating to watch. Jen Connelly even adds a bit more eye candy to the film. Sorry. long time fan for yrs. with her. I enjoyed the film very much.

Basically what I was hoping for all in all. WAG.

“Wagons East!” recieved much publicity in it’s time. Not by mammoth marketing or praised reviews but due to the death of John Candy during, or shortly after as reports vary, filming. With the hype of this being Candy’s final performance audiences would naturally raise the bar to unachievable heights, and the film would be damned regardless.

Even at the age of 8 when “Wagons East!” was released in theaters, I was atleast passively aware of Candy’s death and the overall disdain folks had for the film. “Wagons East!” is not Candy’s masterpiece, or even a mention in his greatest works, BUT it most certainly is a fun piece and is greatly entertaining.

“Wagons East!” takes the satire/slapstick route as it toys with history for its plot. A group of settlers realize that the west wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and the hardships are abound, so they decide to pack up and head back home (hence, WAGONS EAST!).

John Candy is Harlow, a man with a mysterious past, who decides to lead the way as their Wagon Master. Of course, we must have the evil corporation that wishes to thwart anything against the companies’ agenda because without evil conglomerates stopping the freedom of the soul this just wouldn’t be America.

As a comedy the film isn’t a gut buster. Few one liners, sparse are the hilarious bits. Instead we have a constant series of running gags, character humor, and a series of subtle slapstick shenanigans.

I personally like this style at times because the feel of the movie is pleasant and doesn’t require a scene set up to tell one joke, then another and another in place of a plot where the story is essentially scenes strung together by one bit jokes.

“Wagons East!” has a plot going for it. It tells a story, the humor is embedded in the story, and those types of comedies I feel draw a viewer in with greater depth. But judging the public revulsion I am guessing I’m in a minority.

I was entertained the entire trip, I have no complaints. It’s a sad trip at times because you realize this was the last show John Candy would be a part of, and especially growing up in the early 90s John Candy was a huge part of entertainment for youth, and it hits home.

John Candy does a great job, and the rest of the cast does just as well. The costumes are fun, and John C. McGinely is a hoot, and the satire on the Great West myths never gets old. If anything, I can recomend this simply to honor John Candy’s work, but without the handicap, I think it only fair to give “Wagons East!” the chance at a fair judgement that it never got.

A hand full of citizens of various occupations and orientations realize the west is not all it is cracked up to be. They decide to go back east, but to do this they will need a skilled and knowledgeable wagon master.

Who should stumble in but the best wagon master in the west, James H. Harlow (John Candy). Naturally there is a money grubbing cabal apposed to this move and they will stop at nothing to throat the “Wagons East” plan.

Well designed with a select group of actors that never overplayed their parts. The consumes and scenes here exceptionally good for the comedy. The Indians look like Indians and the floozies look floozy.

The film is jam packed with one liners.

Last movie before he died it’s sad all he needed to do was make better choices and he’d still be here learn from his mistakes

Dr. Stephen Strange, a brilliant brain surgeon, finds himself a new meaning in life after a tragic and near fatal accident. He embarks on a new mission to seek out healing that may help him regain what he lost and finds something much more in the process.

His life will never be the same when he truly becomes a master of the mystic arts. This is a good one starting off for Dr. Strange! Loved it! This 4K is beautiful and the way it was done was fairly good.

I recommend it highly! Picture and sound are outstanding!.

aptain America’s Civil War is a blast of a Marvel movie, though like many recent Marvel offerings it is dragged down a bit by the Marvel formula. After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier the world is hunting Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier).

With the added problems of the devastation caused during Avengers: Age of Ultron and collateral damaged that occurs in the opening of this film, the world governments come together to demand a new level of oversight over the Avengers.

Iron Man wants to acquiesce to these demands due to his part in creating Ultron; Captain America wants to refuse as he feels government organizations are too easily corrupted after learning Hydra had been infiltrating SHIELD for years.

Honestly, this movie is really Avengers 2. 5 rather than a Captain America sequel. It does do a great job of continuing Steve Rogers’ story and tying things together nicely around his friendship with Bucky, but enough of the other characters get their own arcs that it feels like a group movie.

Overall, this is a good addition to any Marvel collection. The visual/special effects were very good, and the 4 main actors did really well in their roles. The reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 was because of the actors and the visual look of the film.

Unfortunately, it does have a somewhat weak ending. During the majority of the movie, you have the main “bad guy”, Mads Mikkelsen causing problems for/fighting with the main “good guy”, Benedict Cumberbatch, and at the end of the movie, where there should have been a showdown/final resolution between the two, a 3rd party gets involved and Mads Mikkelsen just goes away.

The showdown builds up, and builds up, and builds up, and then. you get left with. “wait. what?. that’s it?” Had it not been for the good acting performances and really good visual effects, and the intro of a new (and will be recurring) character, I would have given the movie a 3 out of 5.

Liam Neeson had stated he would not make any more action movies. Hopefully he will change his mind as I found this movie very engaging. While on a train he is approached by a woman who asks him to find a passenger on that same train carrying a suitcase.

That is all the info he is given. What is his incentive? His wife and daughter will be killed if he cannot complete the task in a certain amount of time. With no idea if the passenger is male or female, what kind of case and what may be in the case, Neeson finds time running out! The movie comes to a thrilling climax in an unexpected way.

Well worth your time!.

I bought this movie from Walmart and it is encrypted with “Cinavia” which after 20 min of play the Cinavia mutes the movie and you are unable to listen to the movie. The message that comes up “Audio Outputs temporarily muted.

Do not adjust the playback volume. The content being played is protected by Cinavia and is not authorized for playback on this device. For more information, see http://www. cinavia. com. Message Code 3.

” You can not buy pas this message only pause and will play for about 5 sec and goes back to muted status. My question is why is Walmart selling a copied DVD that is encrypted?.

I really liked this movie it’s just filled with alot of suspense and a little action. Mostly your like ok what’s going to happen and trying to figure out what is what but overall it’s a good movie.

I like Tom Holland, but he is no Toby Macguire! The last movie in the franchise was awesome. I loved seeing all the actors who played the web-slinger on the big screen in the same film. But the tiny English guy just dosen’t cut it as Spiderman.

Where’s the action, wheres the passion? Tom can act but he does not personify Spiderman the way Toby or even Andrew did. MCU should pay whatever it costs to bring Toby back as the original Spiderman and have the other follow-up actors join him as a team.

MCU could even bring in Spider-girl! That would seriously bump the MCU and bring in a lot of other heroes and villans.

Im honestly torn between giving this movie a 3 and a 4 because its not worthy of a 5 star review. Not to say it isn’t a great movie because it is or that there was bad activity or bad stoy line. I could only give it a 4 because there are no bloopers or deleted scenes which tore me up, but the ending as well.

Could the ending have been worse, yes it could but no. This movie ended in an EXTREMELY bitterly sweet way but with more bitterness than sweetness for me. I still highly recommend this movie because I love the cast I’m just disappointed Marvel, Disney (don’t get me started) and Sony didn’t deliver like they usually do with movies like this.

If any Stan Lee was still here.

I like this movie but the Blu-Ray disc won’t play correctly in my Sony Blu-Ray player. I get a picture but no audio. I tried changing the audio on the disc and it plays other languages fine, the descriptive English audio works but regular English has no audio.

I had the same issue with the Blu-Ray disc of Black Widow. All my other Blu-Ray discs work fine. I though about returning it but it shows that it has been delayed and not delivered yet even though it has.

I had someone play the Blu-Ray in a different Blu-Ray player and the English audio worked. Not sure what to do.

Hilarious movie with great characters. Might be a bit rough for smaller kids, but parents decide for yourselves. Has some excellent life lessons in it shown in unexpected ways. A true laugh fest!!

So glad they had this available! I had seen it multiple times growing up and we wanted to show our daughter, and friends, and anyone else that hasn’t seen it. Great price, blu-ray was awesome quality.

If you haven’t seen this movie, you should.

Great movie. Funny and it is one Ill always enjoy. …. want me to show you a trick to take your mind off that pain?….. snap! …works every time…

I had never seen this movie before in my life. Everyone else in my life had and they continued to reference this movie numerous times. So I finally decided to watch it and now i know what they mean when they say its a iconic movie.

I do have to agree that it is one of the best movies of my time.

When I ordered this I was under the impression that it was the anniversary edition because thats how its captioned. But I didnt not receive the anniversary addition. How disappointing. I expected what I paid for.

Looks great on Blu-Ray! Great sound and more color along with detail in HD. Great movie, with many funny moments. Set in highschool and gets into the drama of everybody basically. But ends with a good moral to the story.

Nice getting the digital Instawach as well. Wasnt expecting that cause the listing doesnt advertise it. Made a great gift to my wife. She liked the pink case to :).

Very good movie. Isn’t his best; but, how can you go wrong with a Denzel Washington movie? He throwa his full self into each character that he plays and becomes that character. Do not miss this one. A very good movie.

I don’t give out 5 stars to any movie unless it’s jaw dropping.

Love this movie. Any movie with Denzel. Thank you for having it.

This is one of Denzel’s most important movies. The subject matter confronts are criminal justice system and the fact that every American is being taken advantage of whether in the system or not. Now.

what do we do about it. ?.

I have been a have been a huge fan of Studio Ghibli since the first time I discovered their animated movies. I enjoy reading the subtitles while listening to the English translations. The most important part about the art is that it goes beyond the simplicity of its character design.

When you watch this movie, look past the characters and embrace the scenery that was created by the artists. The depth of colors that go into making a scene is amazing. I always enjoy the stars they get to do the voice-overs.

I have to admit I already owned Princess Mononoke on Blu-Ray but seeing as how it is own of my all time favorite anime and that I’m a massive steelbook collector this was a no brainier I had to buy this.

Fantastic movie with animation way ahead of it’s time and a story that has very powerful message about humanity and how we take the world around us for granted that is an oversimplification but I really don’t want to say more JUST WATCH IT!!!! you won’t regret it.

Great release – would be made better by the inclusion of a digital copy, but otherwise, this series of Steelbooks is the most beautiful incarnation yet! Will be purchasing all these Steelbook Ghibli titles.

This DVD came from England. A message came up on my Bluray & on my DVD player & on my computer that this DVD doesnt play on these devices. On my Bluray the color shows Purple, not blue or gold. Took a long time to get thru customs right now also.

I didn’t realize that there were differences in European devices & USA players. Was cheaply priced so won’t bother with returning.

The third installment of Steven Soderbergh’s slick, star-studded heist series just might be the best, as Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company pull off another elaborate caper, this time in the name of revenge.

Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), one of Ocean’s original eleven, lies nearly comatose after a myocardial infarction brought on by shock. His dreams of regaining his former glory on the Vegas strip have been dashed by the dastardly Willie Bank (Al Pacino), with whom Reuben foolishly went into business to build the biggest and flashiest casino the the world has ever seen.

Bank took Reuben for all he was worth, and now, the famously loyal thirteen won’t rest until Bank has been brought down. They execute this noble cause through complex, daring, and brilliant machinations that make the most of everyone’s talents, including Yen’s (Shaobo Qin) acrobatics, Linus’s (Matt Damon) acting abilities, and Basher’s (Don Cheadle) heavy machinery.

Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck and Scott Caan) get a few hilarious moments as they brew up a revolution in a Mexican plastics plant, while Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Danny coolly preside over the action like omniscient, infallible deities, always about three steps ahead of the game.

The villain’s downfall is utterly satisfying due to the pure capitalist evil channelled by Pacino, while Ellen Barkin vamps it up as Bank’s “cougar” of an assistant. The camaraderie of the thirteen lends heart to these cool criminals, best captured by the sappy letters Basher sends Reuben, which ultimately bring him back to life.

Vegas is effectively captured through seamless editing and beautiful photography, with the trappings of uber-wealth making the fantasy even more fantastical.

Well not that great. The story is entertaining and simple enough. Ocean’s 13 are all about the cast of characters, their chemistry together, and their interactions with each other. Returning director Steven Soderbergh excitedly plays and toys with the camera with different angles, different kinds of shots, wide variety of lengths of shots, and even borrowing a technique that was made famous in Fight Club.

While its nothing experimental, Soderbergh does a good job showcasing a story using a variety of techniques so the movie never even considers looking stale. Completing the directing is a sort of old-school vibe that accompanies the soundtrack.

It begins to look so dated that you might expect even Sinatra to make an appearance. Pacing is what turn-off some moviegoers, and pretty much what destroyed Ocean’s 12 (despite the unforgivable plot).

Unlike recent third installments, the pacing here remains consistent, and for the most part works well. The majority of Ocean’s 13 is setting up the grand scheme, which ranges from an underground bunker in Nevada to a factory in Mexico.

The third act is when the plan starts getting off the ground, and the payoff is definitely great for the audience and the lucky cast of gamblers unaware of what is about to unfold. Bottom Line: Despite some missing members of before (where’d all the women go?) Ocean’s 13 is good and everything that made the original a surprise smash.

The chemistry among the crew remains intact, but now we have a different story to follow, and a better heist to capture on film. Capturing all the merriment is Soderbergh, who once again excels in putting his distinct methods of film-making to good use as he contributes a dosage of style, color and old-school flavor to the movie.

The ending leaves the door open for more, and as long as they remain as entertaining as this, why shouldn’t we continue the series? Clooney, Damon, and especially Brad Pitt seem to have a lot of fun robbing people and screwing around.

Whatever happened to the good-ol’ days of classic, one-track storytelling anyway? 13 had nothing surprising. So 13 is just 11 all over again which should have been called 11. 3.

I have watched this movie over 5 times already! The Pandemic of 2020 is accurately portrayed by this movie! This movie is so accurate that it has Dr. Son jay Gupta portraying himself as a virus expert! Please buy this movie and see for yourself that everything that happened in 2020 happened in this movie 8 years earlier.

Revisited this film on blu ray during the COVID 19 pandemic. The film is from 2011 and is a hair-raising portent of things to come. It perfectly and accurately predicts many factors that came to light in the all-too-real COVID pandemic.

Worth watching, great cast, and excellent story.

Excellent movie. As Yogi Berra would say deja vu all over again, the movie follows predicts what actually happened with Covid 19. The final scene is of a bat dropping food in a pig pen where the piglets eat the food.

The piglets are slaughtered for food fo humans.

Based on a true life incident of off duty American soldiers confronting terrorists on a train through Paris, France. Plenty of action and suspense. What made the movie better than most, for me, was the employment of obviously untrained or little trained actors.

The movie had a sense of reality and believability not always captured through highly trained actors. It was shot in a semi – documentary style which I think contributed to the movie’s believability.

Very entertaining movie.

There were choices made here in regards to how this film was made such as using the actual people involved, instead of actors, and in the way the backstory of the protagonists was written. It probably would’ve been a better movie if it would’ve focused more on the lead up to the event, and the event itself, and had used actual actors for the protagonists.

But as it is, the event itself took up only a small portion of the movie, most of the movie is a backstory of the protagonists. It’s scary to think what could’ve happened. The movie does make you thankful that it didn’t.

But it really doesn’t give you a feeling that you seen the whole story.

Saw this movie in the theater and then bought the Blu-ray to see it again. Then I read the book. Clint Eastwood stuck to the book. What I really was fascinated by was Eastwood’s use of the three heros as well as several of the other actual participants in the event.

Be sure to watch the bonus video to see the interviews of the 3 American friends that took down the terrorist and saved MANY lives on that train. The French government decorated them for their valor.

They are true examples of what the U. S. military turns out to protect our country.

The last time we saw Danny Ocean’s crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it’s been a while since they’ve come back together, which is all about to change.

When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff builds a hotel with known casino owner Willy Banks, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Banks. Banks’ attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff’s misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack.

However, Danny and his crew won’t stand for Banks and what he’s done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Banks, the crew is out to pull off a major plan.

One that will unfold on the night Banks’ newest hot spot opens up, when the crew is out to bankrupt one of the city’s most despised businessmen. But they’re not in this for the money, but for the revenge.

I highly recommend it, its cool, funny slick and most importantly of all, very cool.

I love movies where you like the bad guys. Only the best directors and best casting combine to make “likeable bad guys”. The Ocean’s 11 movies are examples of great casting and great directing combining to make “likeable bad guys”.

In this installment, the Ocean’s Gang unites to seek out revenge when a Casino mogul reneges on a partnership with one of the crew. I know this sounds cliche, but this is the 3rd best Ocean’s movie in the 3 part series thus far.

This movie chose a slightly different directoral path – by revealing the “how” of the con the entire movie. While there is a very interesting twist at the end, the action comes more from the improvisation and intelligence of the Ocean’s Gang in this film.

I particularly liked the odes to Sinatra (who originally played Danny Ocean). I also enjoyed seeing Super Dave Osborne as one of the stars. In some places the dialogue is a little too wordy and was kind of hard to follow.

You don’t really have to have seen the other two for this movie to make sense, but it does help. Ocean’s 11 is the strongest movie in the series of Clooney starring as Daniel Ocean.

This movie definitely rebound from the sequel with its better use of lighting and storyline, but how often can these movie surpass their predecessors? If you’ve never seen the prior two, then you just may think this movie is awesome! Their sequence and scheming aren’t always easy to follow, but they’ve become quite predictable.

Could a fourth manage the higher hurdle? I’d certainly be interested in finding out. The primary downside? These actors have been at it for so long, all seems rather too casual. It’s as if it’s just too easy for them; it’s all dilly-dally, and that aids the comedic aspect between the characters.

It would be more interesting to see a ‘deeper’ conflict between the characters. The clowny-James Bonds are getting a lil’ too hum drum.
