Easy Watch

Rating: 6/10 (4 September 2013)

I was very hesitant to watch this movie because; I did not really enjoy the book. But, I was very pleased while watching the movie. The first thing that caught my eye was the costumes and scenery. These two areas of the movie were spot on when it comes to the era of the movie. Another great aspect of the movie was the characters. Tobey Maguire did a fantastic job and portrayed the quiet character he was supposed to be well. Leonardo DiCaprio was also a great contribution to this movie. Gatsby was intended to be a mysterious man who was read by others as well off. Carey Mulligan fulfilled her role with a lot of promise. She was able to play her position as the middle women well and her acting as secret mistress was great. Overall, this was a good movie it had a good story line, and as the movie plays you become more and more interested with what will happy next. Although I do have one complaint about this movie, time. The movie is over two hours long and can feel that way at times. Even with this small issue, I would watch this movie again.
