The not so great Gatsby?

The Great Gatsby is one of my all time favourite books and Fitzgerald really is a writing genius so I was slightly disappointed with the film. It seems that the producers had a some what premature understanding of the novel. It was a good attempt of adaptation, and Leonardo certainly displayed his excellent acting skills, but it just wasn't quite up to scratch with Fitzgerald and his wonder with words. I do, however, have to commend, not only the acting, but also the costumes and of course the music, which was a delight to my ears. Who doesn't want to live in 1920's America? I know I would.
