It's ok. Visually it looks incredible. The acting was pretty good.
I'm probably not the best judge cause as I've said a million times in discussions about the book, I just don't think it's a very good story and it shows in the movie.
To each his own though. It was a valiant effort at an adaptation. I don't know how in the world I'd turn that book into a movie.

Agree, I hated the book. Found it very boring.

Someone once said about The Great Gatsby -- "The beauty of Gatsby isn't in the story, it's in the telling of the story." It's Fitzgerald's prose which makes it a beautiful book. And, that will always be hard to translate into cinema.
