The flashyness is over the top but, wasn't Gatsby "over the top" for his parties. It's all a show... The music though through out the movie is a major turn off. I would give the film 6.5 or 7.0 out of 10 if it wasn't for the modern music play, jay z!?!? I mean really it makes a serious film turn super corny. Soooo I would give this film 3-4 stars, honestly watch Redford's version or read the book if you want to know about Gatsby. Watch this if you have 2 hrs to kill.
