The Great Gatsby



Mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby is obsessed with Daisy Buchanan in this adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel.  Fascinated by the mysterious, affluent Gatsby, his neighbor Nick Caraway bears witness to the man's obsessive love and spiral into tragedy.  Not the epic of the aggressive ad campaign that proceeded the movie, however, it was glitzy and fast paced.  I was never bored even when the movie script deviated from the novel in the end.  Of course, I didn't like either ending. I would rate it a 7.  Toby McGuire and Leonardo DiCaprio carried the movie.  One could save it for DVD.  Stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey McGuire, Carey Mulligan.
