All flash bang and no substance. The fusion of new music and roaring 20s elements is a travesty to the spirit of Fitzgeralds book. Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway is too smug and too conscious of his role unlike Sam Waterston who played it better in the 1974 version. As for Leo, hes like a young man trying to be an adult which I cant help but compare to Robert Redfords who nailed it flawlessly, combining a mature yearning for the woman he loved at the same time calmly balancing his appearance between a rich, sophisticated person and a man with new money. You can actually feel the burning blush of embarrassment coursing through his veins as he tries hard to win Daisys affection and admiration.
