It's hard to view this movie without comparing it to the previous installments in the Oceans franchise, which isn't fair to do because how could it stand up to the 2001 George Clooney lead Oceans Eleven. Even the two sequels didn't match it, they were great but, not as great.
Oceans 8 is different. Obviously a different director who did a decent job; and a different cast that comes together fine - I guess that's how I feel about this movie, it's a decent and fine movie that has a familiar premise.
Maybe I wouldn't have had such reservations upon viewing if it was it's own stand alone movie without Oceans in the title.
