Both of these movies contain the coolest actors of their time robbing a casino in Vegas. The original was basically the Rat Pack messing around on camera while looking smooth as they attempted to rob famous Vegas casinos. The newer one was more complex, with a bad guy that Ocean's eleven were looking to screw over and a more detailed plan because of newer technology guarding the money and more money hidden in the safes.
The movies greatly differed in their presentation of the eleven men that would help Danny Ocean rob the casinos. Ocean's 11 focuses on the backstories of the characters so much that the middle of the movie is where the plot is first hatched to rob the casinos. Ocean's Eleven introduces each character's back story in about ten minutes and is centered more on the actual heist of the casino instead of character development.
The ends in both movies were also different. In Ocean's 11, the men end up with no money at the end because they kept it in a coffin and that coffin was cremated. However, in Ocean's Eleven, the good guys beat the bad guys and end up with the money, and the main character even ends up with his former wife.
Ocean's Eleven was more realistic to me, but Ocean's 11 was a lot more realistic. I enjoyed both movies though.
