I’ve long suspected Baz Luhrmann’s take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” will be awful. Turning a classic novel into a $100 million dollar big budget 3-D movie seems a recipe for disaster, and the response from critics seems to bear this fear out.
“Periodically, as if by accident, something like real emotion pokes up through the film’s well-manicured surface…”
Rough.
