In very poor taste
30 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
As one of my favorite novels, I wanted to see a current revival of it on screen. As a fan of Leo, I wanted to see his Gatsby. But I can say, I'm glad I caught it for free on TV!

What a horrible representation of a classic American novel. I absolutely hated Mulligan, what a horrible choice for Daisy. The parties caught the grandiosity I imagined, but it was way too modern! The music on this film was absolute crap! RAP MUSIC IN A CLASSIC FILM?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

This movie was overly artistic. There was limited believability. The actors that played Tom and George stole the show for me. I would have liked to see Jason Clarke play Nick instead of Toby. I would have also preferred Leo to play George Wilson, the auto shop guy. Jay Gatsby should have been played by someone a bit older and more debonair.

Highly disappointed.
