This doesn't happen often, but we left the cinema after 45 minutes; Irritated about the rape of Scott Fitzgerald's fantastic narrative. It wasn't only that the characters where unlikable (I couldn't feel a grain of the empathy I felt when I was reading the novel, and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway is an awful cast), but the director thought it needed gang-rap during the lavish parties in the Gatsby mansion gang-rap? during the roaring 20's? That felt like if sir Lancelot would appear, mounted and in full attire, during the maze-scene of "the shining"; quite "Monty Pyton-ish" indeed I advise all people whom are not 16yo girls (or feel like one) to avoid this movie. If you don't want to read the book, watch the 74 version.
