I recently screened the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. It was good. But so was this version with Leonardo DiCaprio. They are different in style but both are enjoyable entertainment in the retelling of this classic love-triangle tale set in an age of excess and exuberance. This version is dazzling entertainment, a lot of fun to watch, very beautiful visually. The 3D didn't add to the story, but it sure was visual fun. I don't understand why the critics are complaining about the style being over-the-top. I thought it was "delicious." I much preferred Carrie Mulligan's version of Daisy....she was less shallow and self-absorbed, thus more sympathetically conflicted than the Mia Farrow version. Only complaint: It was a tad too long. It dragged once or twice, but it always picked up the pace again.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
