Not so Great Gatsby

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2020)

The style is there, the 1920's costumes and period feel, and its acted well, but something seems to be missing ?
The music was not great, which included some rapping ? not a 1920's music so I don't know why it was added to the music score, there was plenty of CGI in it which made it look too perfect, too much like fantasy, and the grimy sections, too grimy, and it did not flow as it should, it seemed a little stilted with too much voice over.
I watched it until the end, but it went on too long, it is timed at 2hrs 22 mins but with about 15 mins of titles, not good.
The original film although looking much cheaper seemed better, and that was not one of the best itself.
I gave it a 6 for the style and acting.
