Pretty good, except for one thing...

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2013)

The Great Gatsby is the classic tale of a millionaire who only wants one thing, the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. The classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story is great. The acting is excellent, and Dicaprio really nails it. The set design, costume design, and overall setting quality is superb. The only flaw I can find (literally, the only flaw) is the music. Before you roll your eyes and cut this off, just hear me out. For me, authentic setting in a movie is very important, and music is a big part of the setting. I don't have an issue with rap or hip-hop being in a film, as long as it fits the setting. Rap/hip-hop DOES NOT fit a 1920's movie!!! With a fitting soundtrack, this movie is a 10, but since they had to put that music in, it becomes an 8 in my book.
