Terrible

Rating: 3/10 (23 June 2013)

I came into the movie with low expectations, holding a glimmer of hope that it would exceed them...it did not.
It is a typical Baz Luhrmann film that overplays, over-thinks and overstates meaningless plot and cringe worthy scenes. It was a movie that should not have gone for 142 minutes (I would have been happy if it was done and dusted in an hour). The only reason that kept me in the cinema was for the girl who I was seeing that night.
I can't stand Tobey Maguire as an actor, that view did not change. I also did not care for Leonardo DiCaprio's overuse of the term 'old sport', It made me hate the movie more and more as it went on, and the ending to the movie was the only highlight (so I could get the hell out of there).
I would not recommend this movie to anyone, and I dare say to go find something more useful to do than waste 2 hours of your life.
