Plot: It’s been three years since Danny Ocean (GEORGE CLOONEY) and his crew – fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (BRAD PITT), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (MATT DAMON), explosives expert Basher Tarr (DON CHEADLE) and safecracker Frank Catton (BERNIE MAC) – pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (ANDY GARCIA) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean’s crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life...but that’s proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny’s wife Tess (JULIA ROBERTS).When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back – with interest – or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn’t the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean’s

 There's a sense that at least some of the dialogue was improvised. The final result speaks well for the process, whatever it actually was. Ocean's Twelve represents a lively way to spend a December evening.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon: The gang's all here and ready for another caper in this smart, stylish sequel.--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
For a heist movie, it's awfully talky, tediously paced, weirdly incoherent and a brutal waste of such a talented cast of actors who surprisingly add to the problem by mostly phoning in their performances. 4/10--Chris Cappola (Movie Marshal)
This is just a reason for {them} to dress up in fancy clothes and relax in fancy locations. D+--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Ocean's Twelve is sometimes fun and sometimes funny, but never remotely as fun or funny as the film that preceded it. Characters that were richly developed in the first film are left to dry out into caricatures and generic crooks in the sequel.  --Christopher Null (FilmCritic.com)
A hundred percent of the gags are goofs, riffs and homages to the actors involved from Zeta’s flexibility in Entrapment to celebrity status to movies they’ve done. ... Instead of delivering an even modestly clever riff on the heist genre or worthy follow-up, they are be-boppin’ and scattin’ all over themselves and the audience.  --Erik Childress (eFilmCritic.com)
I’m not trying to suggest that “Ocean’s Twelve” is some grand masterpiece-to describe it as fluff would be to lend it a weight that it doesn’t posses. However, it is a surprisingly witty and self-aware goof that is about twelve times better than anyone in their right mind might have expected.  --Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com)
It's an absolutely unnecessary sequel that fails to keep the buzz of the original going, doesn't bring anything new to the table and makes you seriously dread the prospect of a third instalment.  --Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)

| The miracle of "Ocean's Twelve" isn't just that it's a sequel every bit as good as the 2001 production. It's that producer Jerry Weintraub was able to get some of the biggest stars in the industry -- and Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh -- to clear their schedules for a 77-day shoot in Europe. --Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
Ocean's Twelve is too much fun, and packed with too many surprises and plot twists and turns that even if we wrote 'em all down we couldn't keep 'em straight.--Chuck Schwartz (The Cranky Critic)
Ocean’s Twelve is a high energy, fun filled sequel to the star studded blockbuster Ocean’s Eleven. B+--Paul Maniaci (TheCinemaSource)
