I am not going to compare notes of fidelity to Fitzgerald's tome, but just focus on what the film delivers as a stand alone piece of entertainment.
So without hesitation, if you were one to enjoy MOULIN ROUGE or here is an odd comparison, HUGO this will deliver a spectacularly entertaining trip for you at the movies. Gorgeous 3-D, beautiful production, and actors who on the whole who bring their A-Game (most especially DiCaprio and Joel Edgertan) and the ingenious mix of period and contemporary music that work in harmony to deliver a successful interpretation of this classic. Sure, there will be purists who simply cannot abide by such a progressive take, but give it a chance...... very worthwhile.
