Review of The Great Gatsby (2013) by Nick F — 20 Jul 2014
If you read the novel, which I suggest you read before watching this, you will enjoy this adaptation. Just keep an open mind. If you expect the adaptation to be a word for word one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, you will be sadly disappointed.
Although it's not exactly how I pictured the book to be, the cast is great and the film is definitely enjoyable. While others say the music score isn't the best, I LOVED it. The only real critique I have is that the movie is so over the top that you sometimes forget that the film is set in the Roaring 20s.
I felt at times that the film was set in modern times. But overall, I did enjoy the film and I would recommend paying the extra fee to see it in 3D.
