The Great Gatsby

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2013)

This film shows the debauchery of the 1920's. Baz Luhrman is not subtle in his films. The soundtrack is too loud, and since when have we had rap music in the 1920's.
The actors did a fantastic job. Joel Edgerton stands out with his portrayal of the manipulative Tom Buchanan. Carey Mulligan plays the confused and shallow Daisy and Leonardo was credible as Gatsby.
I have seen this movie years ago and the story remains the same. For production, costumes, art direction and drama I would give this movie a 9.
