Poll: What did you think of the 2013 version of The Great Gatsby?

The music didn't fit at all. I would have been okay with slightly modernized versions of music styles that were popular in the 20s, but I thought the music they did choose was ridiculous. The editing was....spastic. I don't know how else to describe it. There was constantly a barrage of sh*t on the screen, and it was tiring to watch. The acting wasn't great either. The CGI was overused as well. That said, I left less than an hour into the movie, so maybe it got better. But I doubt it.

Oh yeah, the Young and Beautiful song was good. I heard that one about a week ago from a friend. I liked the book too, which is part of the reason I found this movie so disappointing. I think Leonardo DiCaprio was a good choice to play Gatsby, but the rest of the movie ruined it for me.

I have to agree with Dewey

The computer generated special effects were so overwhelming I couldn't watch the characters or have any interest in the plot.

Also there are some films that should never have been 'remade' .. and the Great Gatsby is on that list.

Haven't seen it but it would have to be an improvement. I heard Robert Redford didn't even attend the screening of the old one cuz he knew what a stinkeroo it was.

It looks like the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen.

Never read the book or seen the original, but I liked it.

I think it was great.
