The Great Gatsby synopsis: "The Great Gatsby" follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles. -- (C) WB.

Review For The Great Gatsby
There are no two ways about it: The Great Gatsby is misconceived and misjudged, a crude burlesque on what's probably American literature's most precious jewel.Tom Charity-CNN.com
The central problem with Luhrmann's film is that when it's entertaining it's not Gatsby, and when it's Gatsby it's not entertaining.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic
The best attempt yet to capture the essence of the novel.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
A failure that should have at least been a magnificent mistake.
Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
"The Great Gatsby" is a cool movie, in both the positive and negative sense. You may certainly be impressed, but you may not be moved.
Tom Long-Detroit News
It's a terrific adaptation that succeeds not only as a work of cinema but also, wonderfully, as proof of the novel's greatness.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
This is another Baz Luhrmann film that fails to engage either the heart or the mind.
Shaun Munro-Film School Rejects
Why didn't the maestro didn't just go the whole hog and rename it "Jazz Hands: A Love Story"? A bottle of your best champagne says he thought about it.
Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
This is an interpretation of Gatsby (minor spoiler alert) that revels in the idea of Gatsby and Daisy as two psychopaths (or at least social sociopaths), lovers whose disregard for others, as they pursue their own twisted desires, is bonkers.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
It is the sheer size, overstatement and noise, both visually and aurally, that sinks Luhrmann's picture.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Baz Luhrmann's bastardization of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel is a travesty in the most demeaning sense of the word. The film represents a sin against cinema and literature of cataclysmic proportions.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
too much for its own good, drowning its best intentions in stylistic overkill
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Here's the thing about director Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby: It actually remains quite faithful to the book. ... But it rarely taps into the essence of the novel, preferring instead to continuously showcase the glitz over the grit.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
You don't watch Baz Luhrmann's detonation of F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby; you get beaten up by it
Donald Clarke-Irish Times
( ... ) only Luhrmann's third feature in 17 years ( ... ) he should get out more and speed up, because if his mantra is always bigger and better, like Gatsby he'll end up going nowhere at all.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
( ... ) an overlong, 143-minute film which feels, certainly in the first half at least, weighed down by its own, dizzying magnitude.
Graham Young-Birmingham Post
Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) is the perfect director to take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel about the American dream, simply because he's an expert at showing the emptiness of hyperactive excess.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
DiCaprio certainly looks the part, a sharp dressed man with a sunny face and a shady past. He shimmers on screen with an orange glow. Where he falls short is in the dark glamour of Gatsby, when his American dream turns into a nightmare.
Brian Henry Martin-UTV
Not quite a disaster, but the worst I can say about 'Gatsby' is that it's severely flawed, and often boring.
Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell
All hail the mighty Leo!!!
Bob Grimm-Reno News and Review
Luhrmann lovingly titivates the fake and superficial, and never gets round to serving the meat of the novel, which involves cutting into sham and heartlessness.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Luhrmann's Great Gatsby might not find favour with all Fitzgerald purists but it plunges you wholeheartedly into an age of bathtub gin, flirty flappers and impending doom and burns with a fierce intensity.
Elisa Roche-Daily Express
There's always something to distract the eye but it's an increasingly empty exercise, confirming suspicions that it's simply impossible to translate Fitzgerald's jewell-like prose to the big screen.
Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
Employing the stylish grandiosity we've come expect from him, Luhrmann's trademark razzle-dazzle is entirely appropriate for the extravagant excess of Gatsby's world.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
The problem is that in such a raucous adaptation, the cast can only act coarsely, too.
David Sexton-This is London
Ultimately, it's far from a literary adaptation...but as a movie it makes you want to join the party.
