Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2013)

I was a big fan of the first version of this movie and wasn't sure I would like this version of the movie and the soundtrack. But it was amazing! Be sure to see it in 3D. The music was absolutely perfect for the movie, the set was just beautiful as were all of the fashions. The story line was faithful and told through wonderful acting. It was perfect until they added a GD--and that is why I am dropping a star. So totally unnecessary. Still...young and old will love this movie. The reviews had said that this movie wasn't very good. That is so absolutely NOT TRUE. Leonardo DiCaprio was wonderful and his interpretation of Gatsby is really interesting and I think well thought out. Carey Mulligan as Daisy is PERFECT! If you thought about it all day, you wouldn't be able to think of a better casting choice. I have just now become a Toby McGuire fan because of this movie and he too was perfect for the part. And the actor who played Tom will probably get an award or two for his performance. Go see this movie!
