Never read the Fitzgerald novel, & from the promo that was out I had no idea what the hell was going on, so I gave this one a dodge. :lol:

Gatsby was not too bad a flim ( deliberate misspell alert ) and embaressing to say for a rabid reader like myself - I've never read the book. But I am absolutely an on again/off again fan of our Miss Carey Mulligan. While she's often window dressing in movies, Carey acted the hell out of Sally Sparrow in Doctor Who ( the episode: Blink ). As a certain police detective would say - and I misquote it - Life is short, and she is Hot.

I actually just watched this today. While the modern music could be a bit jarring at times, it was expected so it didn't throw me off too much. In all, it was a decent enough adaptation but could have been more, imo.

Having only watched it at home, I could still see that it was probably quite a treat to see in theatrical 3D. I'm not a fan of most 3D, but you can tell this is one that was specifically designed for it.
