Is anyone else worried that Gatsby won't live up to the novel?  I love and trust Leo to do a good job, and Baz Luhrman is practically a genius, but it just looks so over-the-top in the trailers- like they wanted to be as surreal as the story, but went too far. ( Also, 3D?  Is that, like, completely necessary?)

Our English teacher is taking us on somewhat of a field trip to see it tomorrow during lunch time. 

Unfortunately, I am an avid IMDB.com user and I read basically everything about movies, good or bad. 

and.. meh.  Not a lot of good stuff from the critics so far.  Ugh.  I'll keep my hopes up.
