Ocean’s 12: More is, well, more.

Whenever a sequel comes out to a movie, I find myself wondering the same thing: is there really more story to be told? Unfortunately, the answer is usually no; the sequel is now a half-hearted attempt to cash in on the success of its predecessor (or worse, establish a franchise), and does so with a warmed-over plot, rarely adding to the story or the development of the main characters. Regular movie viewers need only remember as far back as Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason for an example.
