shameful

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2013)

Unwatchable due to the overused special effects, cringing acting and detestable zero-dimensional characters. Are we really supposed to believe that this supernaturally great man harbours these intense feelings that form his every action for an irritating vacuous fairy who is young enough to be his daughter? There is nothing great about this Gatsby(hey director, you can't just list a load of unbelievable facts to make someone appear great, you have to show it through their behaviour and develop their personality)and the couple display no attraction towards one another. I've seen more passion in 2 pieces of cardboard. DiCaprio has been in some decent films since casting off his titanic scar. This performance will put him back years. That first scene where he appears flashing his teeth like some kind of demigod made me physically retch, which kept happening each time that he was on-screen. Surely his worst ever film, in fact the worst film of all, with or without him, that I can remember, and I've seen some bad ones. This has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
