Anyone see Gatsby yet? I loved it! Don't care what some critics said about it being "bombastic" or "excess" over the top, etc. I feel like the parties are supposed to show "excess" as that was how the book was written.
It followed the book very closely and I loved it. I saw the old, Robert Redford version once in school, and I was bored to tears. It was so dry!
This version was "kickin" for lack of a better word. I wanted to jump in the screen and crash the parties. lol
Costumes were out of this world- definitely should get nominations. And the music was to die for-- fantastic modern twist on 1920s music. Loved it!
Leo was really strong, as always. Not necessarily Oscar winning strong-- but Golden Globe strong for sure. I hope he at least gets a Globe nomination as he earned it. But he gets snubbed alot so who knows. I think he is becoming a really strong actor.
Loved Tobey too, and he is not really my favorite actor normally, but he was good. Cary Mulligan was decent but nothing special.
