great novel not so great movie

Rating: 4/10 (24 August 2013)

The only thing good about the movie is Scot's story line and Di caprio.
i have come to find off late that movies that have expenses as no object lacking in creativity and imagination.
This blatant marketing strategies adopted into movie making is killing movies. whats with the hip hop/rap stuff? the musical score seems something more out of a Disney fairy tale.And why Amitabh Bacchan playing an American? stood out like a sore thumb.
Such a great novel with such a great story line needed a much simpler approach. Technical brilliance should be kept for movies like Batman/superman etc....This needed the human touch which was inexplicably missing.
