We seem to have moved away from the long held tradition of rating a movie for script, acting ability and so on and so on. Instead we now tend to react to A in comparison to B comparison, instead of rating the movie on its own merit! .
Was this movie a Masterpiece?, Hell No!.
BUT it was far from the flop claimed by some here!.
My humble opinion :.
The script is not great, especially when one considers the calibre of Actors.
For me it was all held together by Helena Bonham Carter who was excellent, as was Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway was simply devine!.
This is not to say that Mindy Kaling, Rihanna & Sarah Paulson & Awkafina were poor, but rather it was more the weakness of the script and the script writers inability to bring out the best of the support actors!.
Of course this could be placed at the feet of the Director and producers also!.
Even the Wonderful Sandra Bullock didn't seem to be at 100 %. Though in all honesty, She really shone in parts and her German was PERFECT!!.
The script lacked action and any kind of suspense, leaving the viewer wondering if they were watching a thriller, a comedy or a docu-drama of sorts!.
The Ladies were well chosen!, if underutilised, the script was poor and the production leaves one wondering if there was gold left on the cutting room floor. (So to speak).
Move beyond the, oh it's Women in an Ocean's movie and it's worth the ticket price, despite all which let it down!.
My opinion is it's a worthy 7 out of 10.
I so wish it had a better script!
