I'm a big Fitzgerald fan and was psyched for the film. Like most book to film adaptations, it was a major disappointment.
I didn't bother. The moment it was announced as being directed by Baz Luhrmann, I recognised he was in over his head. I expected shallow, gaudy depictions of opulence that resembled a gay mardi gras; an anachronistic soundtrack; and a complete lack of substance.
You hit the nail on the head.
