I've read the novel and enjoyed the 1974 movie with Redford,Farrow, Waterston, et al. This film was almost a complete disappointment. The computerized 'fills' were too obviously computerized and all the fancy zooming with computer was a further distraction from what credibility the filming retained. This psychedelic approach to the 1920's with rap music thrown in might appeal to computer game players in their 20's and 30's but to me it was a turn off. Save computerized film making for Sci Fi and Fantasy. DiCaprio, Maguire and Mulligan must have been paid pretty big bucks to participate in a film that was such a ripoff of one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest novels. This production was a waste of actors' talent and my time. Read the book or see the 1974 film.
