The Great Gatsby, worth the watch if you've read the book?

Hard to tell. I read the book so long ago.

If you like the story, it is worth a watch. Nothing spectacular or even memorable, but I wasn't wanting my time back when I was done.

As usual with Baz Luhrmann, it was a colorful pretty film to watch.

It's actually very close to the book. I think the only significant difference is the way he tells the story. In the book, it's like a journal. He's writing the story. In the movie, he is telling the story to a therapist if I remember correctly. But it doesn't affect the story at all. It's just a more visual way to do it than having him write on a piece of paper and narrate what he writes.

You may be disappointed with the soundtrack or you may love it. Either way, it is totally worth watching. I love the book and really enjoyed the movie. Both hold themselves well independently too.

I say its worth a watch!

Hated the book, hated the movie.

I think the Redford version is a perfect adaptation

Beautiful production design. Didn't dig the looped-up modern soundtrack (usually accompanied by frantic editing).
