The book is my favorite of all time.
comparing the movie to the book will be its downfall. The writing is incredible and cannot be translated to the screen
If people realize that, I think they will enjoy it
Edit: looks like someone stated it better

I think that for all its commercial appeal and the beautiful cinematography the movie misses its mark because the book is not a classic because of the story itself. The story from which this movie draws its plot is an average one. The beautiful prose and Fitzgerald's linguistic artistry is what makes the book a great American classic.

Agreed. I think they did a pretty good job of trying to bring that language style to the movie. Obviously not near as good, but that is what was most impressive to me about the movie.
