The original was better. 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2013)

Review: How can you make a movie about the 1920's with Hip Hop music? Anyway, I thought that the original was a much better movie. You can definitely tell that this film was made by the same people who made the Romeo & Juliet remake, which also started Leonardo DiCaprio, because the director really tries to make the all time classic, hip with the music and the CGI, but I didn't think that it suited this type of movie. The original storyline was great and it really didn't need any tricks or fancy shots, which was why I they should have just left this film alone. As for the actors, Leonardo DiCaprio done a great job playing Robert Redford's part as Gatsby but I'm not a big fan of Tobey Maguire's stiff way of acting. Anyway, the film is watchable, but they should have stuck which the original content.
Round-Up: I can't help thinking that the love of Leonardo DiCaprio's life throughout the movie was a bit of a bitch at the end because she didn't come clean about what really happened. She didn't even turn up to the funeral, knowing that the whole thing was a lie. Anyway, Leonardo is still making people rush to the cinema to watch his movie, judging by the money that it made, which just shows that it's all about the choice of movies. I don't find him the most versatile actor, but he has definitely has great screen charisma, which directors love working with. Carrey Mulligan has this innocent way of acting were she could be committing a murder but she still looks like she can't do any wrong. Throughout the movie she can't make up her mind if she is coming or going, which causes so many problems with all of the characters, but she still manages to look like she is the guilty party. Anyway, the party scenes looks amazing but the music was a bad choice by the director.
Budget: $105million Worldwide Gross: $349million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there who are fans of the original and who enjoyed the remake of Romeo & Juliet. 5/10
