You don't know who is the good character and who is the bad. I went to see this with my niece and after seeing captain Marvel act like a rude self centered you know what for quite some time she asks me if she is the bad guy of the movie. I just answered "I think so. It's confusing isn't it?". Needless to say none of us really liked it. I sure wouldn't take young girls to see it as it either really confuses them or teaches them to act like they have antisocial personality disorder.

If you're going to cast a lot of big names wouldn't you take the time to write a halfway original script? Wouldn't you give the characters some real personality? You would think so but that's not what happened here. The characters (with the exception of Bonham Carter's) were all snobbish jerks. While the women were all trying to outdiva each other we are supposed to believe they worked together??? When you watch the original Ocean's movies you like the characters, you even want to be there and participate in all the fun, but with these character's in Ocean's Eight you feel like they're ready to spit on you at any moment.

I have always liked Spike Lee as a director. He makes great movies as far as I'm concerned and I liked this one because it was historical and even though it was over dramatized at times, it was still based on true events. It has some great comedy that mixed in with a serious situation as well. Even at times when the scenes were intense it could be funny. The real shame it all is how Spike Lee added these edited clips of Trump at the end to present the idea that Trump is a racist. It's a shame to lie about people and take things out of context to try to ruin someone at the end of what was otherwise a really good film. It just ruined it for me. Present factual information or keep quiet.
