Mr. Gatsby Doesn't Exist.

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2013)

After leaving high school reading the wonderful novel from F. Scott Fitzgerald,and watching the 1974 version of the film, I was so excited that a modern adaption was going to be released back in 2012 ,but got push back for a useless 3-D makeup.
Nevertheless, the wait was well worth it, The Great Gatsby visuals are so beautiful giving the colors a creamy and shiny look expressing the world of the roaring 20's from the classic cars to the rich and the poor.
It was nice to see Tobey Maguire on screen again giving a well over all nice performance. Leo on the other hand, he kept this movie going being a mystery man having theses crazy loud parties everybody hosted by Gatsby himself ,but the crowd at the parties knowing who this Gatsby is?
Personally, I felt some of the music wasn't enjoyable like having Jay-Z annoying $100 bill song playing in the background yet, easily ignored but, some songs being placed in the wrong places at the wrong time.
In the end, The Great Gatsby was enjoyable giving new audiences a modern style of this novel having a great cast giving this love story another chance.
7.9/10
