In my opinion, director Steven Soderbergh made a mess of Ocean's Twelve. The movie had nothing on it compared to the first installment of the franchise. Even with a huge, admired cast, for example, with George Clooney, the film could not be saved from disappointment. The main issue I have with the sequel is that it does not have the same slickness as the first movie, however, elements of the cool and collected remained, they just were not as sleek and clever.
