Not for the common viewer.but likely to bag some Oscars

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2013)

With a stunning cast and whole lot of work on storytelling, the great Gatsby is likely to be the next visually appealing extravaganza. The director Baz Luhrmann did a decent job bringing the ever so famous novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald to silver screen and portraying what can undoubtedly be regarded as the most visually appealing film of 2013 so far. Although, an average user would expect more drama and thrill out of the movie.probably as a consideration for sitting through a two and a half hour long movie. The actors and actress were implacable in their respective roles and were able to do justice to the characters of the original novel. For me, the individual who stole the show was Australian actor Joel Edgerton who gave one hell of a performance and should be considered for an Oscar in the best supporting role category. In addition, it would be an absolute crime not to include the movie in the best costume and best cinematography category in the Oscars. Overall, although an average user may feel disappointed with the ending, but the movie, being based on one classic piece of writing, turned out to be decent and intriguing piece of art .
