    I really liked Sin City, both the movie and comic. This is based on the second volume, which is arguably the best one.

    I also liked Sin City, which was surprising since I typically don't like that "style".

    Great Gatsby had some dumb directing decisions because Baz Lurman is a 12 year old girl, but over all I thought it was a pretty good adaptation of a difficult project.

    That's what I heard. One of the biggest disappointments I'm hearing is his choice of music? I haven't seen it yet.

    Jay Z did the soundtrack. No idea why anyone would be 'disappointed' as it is trademark Luhrman. Sometimes it's cheesy and over the top but hello Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge....both had bombastic culture clashing soundtracks.

    That explains it. The people I was hearing this from were English majors who have serious peeves with elder-themed stories incorporating modern twists.

    They shouldn't see his movies. His stories are never supposed to be historically accurate. They're alternate universes.

    I still want to see it. I don't mind twists and Leo is usually spot on in his roles.

    I was dead set against seeing Gatsby until I heard it was directed by Luhrman. I am not a huge fan of the story (English majors pass out here) but Luhrman makes it interesting. I didnt like Romeo and Juliet (Luhrman fans pass out here) but I liked Moulin Rouge and Strictly Ballroom so I am in now.

    Also psyched about Sin City 2, love the visuals they did in the first one-but I was a comic geek in the day. I guess I still am, I just dont buy them anymore.

    The visuals of Gatsby were beautiful! It is an interpretation.... I like it, didn't love it.

    Worth the ticket price, for sure

    I taught English and I taught Gatsby..... People need to get over themselves!
