What The Critics Said: Propelled forward by the chemistry between its electric cast, critics praised Ocean's 8 as a worthy spin-off from the acclaimed heist franchise.

Why It Actually Sucked: While there's no arguing against the well-matched cast, the movie ultimately doesn't do much at all interesting with them, serving up a generic, warmed-over and disappointingly simplistic heist narrative we've seen many times before.

At times the film just feels like a pallid remake of Ocean's Eleven, and it never really carves out a distinct identity for itself.

As intriguing as an all-female Ocean's movie was on paper, ultimately it settled for being a soullessly bland romp that probably started to leave your brain before you even left the cinema.
