I went to see this movie because of DiCaprio, who became a guarantee for a good movie lately. Well, not this time.

The story itself is typical Hollywood-style romantic-"drama", actually not that lame by default, but whoever wrote the script and done the directing, got the worst out of it.

I felt like watching a 3rd category Brazilian soap-opera, where they drag every obvious step or act well beyond the border of annoyance.

Gatsby's character is really irritating and stupid and the 'mistery' around him is really poorly constructed. Also I'd be surprised if DiCaprio (or anyone else) would get nominated for his acting.

The worst thing in all is that there is no really action, just some trumped and endless suffering of some rich-ass people combined with abominably bad directing.

I'd rather watch the Cloud Atlas (which was quite a pain as well) 10 times than this movie again.

Some of my friends liked it, no idea why, but maybe there is an audience for such movie, I'm not just part of it. Anyways, in case you decide to go for it and you're not liking it after the first 15 minutes, don't expect any change later. Just leave and save 2 hrs or suffering.
