Ignore all the lukewarm and bad reviews of this movie. All the critics think they know what the novel is all about, they are so certain what it means and how this movie doesn't match up to their correct opinion about the book. They are all wrong. This is a fabulous Baz Luhrman movie (and don't forget it's Baz Luhrman: it is going to be his vision and over the top, etc. if you like his movies you will automatically love this movie, but even if you don't like his movies and you love the book you should see this.) Far better than the anemic Redford version (ugh -- who could be that crazy about Mia Farrow?). This movie was all I expected and more. I love the book, think it is the Great American Novel, and I loved this movie. And the mix of music is AWESOME. Bach, Fats Waller, Jay Z, Lana del Rey -- IT ALL WORKS! DiCaprio is amazing, Mulligan is perfect as Daisy, and Toby Maguire (not one of my favorites) is wonderful as Nick.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great music, gorgeous costumes
Yes, I recommend this movie.
