This sounds great, I love the premise. Your review has done a great job of intriguing me – I really want to know whether they found him now!

I love books that weave together story lines, so this sounds perfect. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I came straight home and dived into the novel again. Most of the dialogue is exactly as in the book. The action is tweaked but it’s all there in exuberant technicolor. I saw it in 2D and it was still visually wonderful – imagine the 3D will have some great moments.

I’m seeing it tomorrow – I can’t wait! I’m not expecting it to stay close to Fitzgerald’s novel throughout, despite how it’s a favourite book of mine, but simply for it to be visually fantastic. That will make it worth watching. I was planning to re-read the novel beforehand, but my boyfriend has stolen both copies I have… perhaps I’ll try and get one back to read tomorrow!

There was just me and four old ladies yesterday – nothing to be scared about. I love going to the cinema on my own – no distractions, and lots of room in the afternoons!
Hope you enjoy the movies if you go.

Child care arrangements awkward here too so I I might venture to see this during the day. Have only gone to cinema on my own when abroad…somehow it felt more comfortable than at home!! Star Trek is on the agenda too.

Glad you enjoyed Star Trek too – is there no end to Cumberbatch’s range?! I have Thursday afternoons free, so am finding them an ideal time to go to the cinema (no arrangements needed for my daughter like in the evenings), and I have the added bonus of getting to see the new films early on the day of release.
Of Gatsby, I’m now re-reading the book – and the main action and actual dialogue is all there in Luhrmann’s vision, just tweaked. I hope you’ll love it too.

I’ve only just seen the new Star Trek this week – Benedict Cumberbatch was just superb. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

But we couldn’t fit in watching The Great Gatsby too, so that’s for later, which gives me time to re-read the book. It sounds absolutely marvellous.
