The 'Good' Gatsby

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2013)

Review on The Great Gatsby: The other day when I went to see this film I had high expectations. Past couple of months they have built such a hype that I fell for it. Well it was visually dazzling as one might expect. Once again no need for the 3-D experience as i saw none. The film did move at a fast paced and at times could lose the audience at what is happening, not to mention didn't really give that time to connect with the characters which is crazy as its a 2 1/2 hour movie. The characters though were interesting to watch as the film did catch that essence the book did when reading. Leonardo Dicaprio did a great job and stole the show (which he always seem to do) but in my opinion it was more Carey mulligan who shine more then everyone else. Overall great film for the summer, did give me that same thrill from when i saw moulin rouge ( same directer for both films) years back.
