The Great Gatsby movie review

  Any sense of mystery The Great Gatsby started with was gone by the middle of the film. At first Gatsby was supposed to be this mysterious man that no one knew how he looked and no one had ever really seen. 5 minutes later everyone knew who Gatsby was and how he looked like. Also i got the sense that his romance with Daisy was mostly in his head and that he was stuck in the past.That's why his scenes with her felt a little awkward.
  The one character i actually liked was Nick for whom ,though,we learned nothing throughout the film.So in fact Nick turned out to be more mysterious than The Great Gatsby himself.Finally i haven't read the book and i couldn't understand from this movie why Gatsby was so great,i just saw a deluded man stuck in the past.In conclusion i enjoyed the first half of the movie because i thought it would go in a different direction , which it ended up not doing, and i also really enjoyed the costumes,the wealth and the old-timeness of the film.
