If you have read the book, you must have some idea about the depth of Gatsby's character, the depth of his mind, his desires. I think this statement couldn't be more wrong. I read somewhere on IMDb (message board or another reviewer, I can't remember) that Leonardo wasn't a good fit for the role of Gatsby. The acting was great overall, as you can trust these actors to deliver. The film itself, as a film, was awesome! The visuals and soundtrack were captivating and lavish. It was almost like I didn't know what the ending was because I was so immersed in 1920s New York, and in the lifestyle of The Great Gatsby. The character carries such a mystery about him that was delivered so excellently by Leonardo DiCaprio, and made it so fun to watch. I myself have read the book and have always been so intrigued with the character of Gatsby, and when I heard a few years back that he would be portrayed on the big screen by DiCaprio, I couldn't wait. I don't want to review this as a film that tried to beat its preceding film adaptation. I want to review this film as a movie that tells a story, like every other film. I know a lot of the other reviewers will compare this film to the older one and also the book, so if you're interested in a comparison, stop reading here.
