A very shallow plot, didn't feel the buzz.

Rating: 2/10 (18 May 2013)

With the biggest names in Hollywood being associated with this movie, I was expecting it to be something deep but it turned out to be a very flat, rote movie, much to my disappointment. There are no twists as such in the movie and the plot runs its course like the run of the mill. At one point the idea of "The Great Gatsby" being just a concept without actual existence was pursued which excited me but it turned out to be false and the idea was killed abruptly. I do appreciate the visuals and I must say that the 3-D effects are fantastic. I believe that Mr Nick Carraway's role is not really necessary and I don't see a reason for introducing him in the plot. In all, it is a no-brainer and if you are looking for something that can twist and turn you brain and leave you dumb-founded, then don't waste your money on this movie.
