I am shocked, shocked, to report that I mostly enjoyed seeing GATSBY.
Baz's main sin in this one isn't music or visual extravagance, but some unrelenting fast cutting when you'd really like to have another damned second or two to take in the scene. Surprisingly, though, there are a few places where he does restrain himself.
The 3D is all depth, with none of the in-your-face stuff.
He tells the story, but I'll have to re-read the novel in order to know whereof I speak, as it's been about 15 years since the last time I did so. Got me back into it, though, and made me want to see the other filmed versions to reacquaint myself with what's what.
