A missed opportunity!

Rating: 6/10 (16 April 2019)

You can see a potential in this movie. Sadly, the premise was used to make a fancy and fast blockbuster without much soul, heavily relying on colors, CGI, and Leonardo DiCaprio to make it appeal to the masses. The later starts acting only in the second part of the movie, the whole plot is faster and you can see why everyone is complaining to the soundtrack. Yeah, it's made to fit by the great use of scenography, but, still, where's jazz in the movie about the time of jazz?! Instead we get rap and pop... We hear foxtrot once, and it's the best piece of music in the whole movie. The last 30 minutes of movie are the best and alone make watching feel great, which is good, because if it was to be judged by the rest of the movie, it would be very bad. Casting is good for the most part, though I would prefer someone else for the role of Daisy and Jordan, but it is what it is. It is a good movie, but not a good adaptation of the book. Joel and Toby do a good job though. I am giving it 6.5/10
