Wonderful, Wonderful, visually, musically and acting. Great casting especially DiCaprio and Mulligan. Worth a return experience
Superb movie as long as you didn't stay the one dimension visual route. This is a very thought provoking story of the human condition. It adds much to the experience to know something about F. Scott Fitzgerald. Di Caprio a deeper Gatsby than Redford. Director amazing ! Only weak element was McGuire as Nick but he did a very good effort just not perhaps the best casting.
I loved the book and the way Fitzgerald put forth the ideas of the irresponsible 1920's. Redford/Farrow movie a JG6classic. The current film is excellent and kept me riveted despite knowing the story. Leo superb but did't think Toby M perhaps not the best Nick but again a hard act to follow after Sam Waterston. The imagery done beautifully by Luhrmann and cudo's for staying true to his vision. One couldn't help but hate Tom Buchanan from the start and he looked evil to boot. Hard to do a remake but this was exceptional and the music a subtle reminder that this excess can happen at anytime with deadly results. The best though was DiCaprio one of the true "actors" vs movie stars of the
Robert Redford and Mia Farrow create movie magic.
A complete waste of time. McGuire was a horrible choice to play the lead in this movie. Di Caprio was good, as was the other actors. However, the director let his ego get the best of him and ruined this film.
The director took a great story and ruined it with the over-the-top glitz, ridiculous soundtrack, and his own overblown ego. I could hardly wait for it to be over.
GREAT! My favourite film of the year so far!
boring
Absolutely one of the best movies of the year!
Amazing movie- from the first scene till the last. All actors - L. DiCaprio, T. Maguire , C.Mulligan, J.Edgerton - fantastic job!
