Oceans 11 (1960) vs. Oceans 11 (2001)

The difference in these two films is outstanding. Ocean's Eleven (1960) was a very slow film with two distinct halves. The first was showing us characters and introducing them trough long, boring, and repetive scenes of them dealing with their families. This characterization never really seems to come into play because many if these characters are minor, and until the last 20 minutes it never feels like any stakes were raised, thus us not really caring about these characters. The film is well made but the heist doesn't have the energy that the remake has. Ocean's Eleven (2001) however has a very interesting style that works very well for film, allowing the film makers to put their own stamp on the film. I liked the first on eunuch more because of its style, energy, and it's ability to remove the flaws from the original and improve on what worked in the first one.
