No, she wasn't Daisy, and too bad the whole film wasn't better.

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2013)

I felt such a colorful character as Daisy would've better played by someone like Cameron Diaz or Drew Barrymore. Adelaide Clemens fell flat against the other stars. We needed someone breakthrough to fill this role or someone like Cameron or Drew to hold up to Leonardo's charisma and get some audience's reaction. Instead, the half-full theater was nearly silent the whole time. I have to agree with others who saw it that the addition of hip hop felt forced. I would've preferred an original score that felt pulled out of that Gatsby period. And it was a rough start with the screen writing. Less is more, Hollywood! Less is more! We were bored by weak lines. More could've been easily pulled from the book. The SFX and also the graphics at the close were incredible. They were vibrant and more than memorable, so I expect they'll inspire more great design from Hollywood. Overall, I was really expecting much more to honor F. Scott who lived and is buried in my hometown.
