Great Gatsby argument

The newer version of The Great Gatsby was terrible! I did not have great expectations for the newer version but it was even lower than what I expected. In the 2000 edition none of the characters fit. Gatsby was a terrible actor and did not follow the attitude of Gatsby in the book. Daisy did not fit she seemed to smart. In the first movie they did a great job with showing the time period with costumes, hair, and surroundings but I did not see it that much in the newer version. The set up of the new version was disorganized, unlike the first. The second movie although did go into detail about certain things like how Daisy and Gatsby met, but none of this was really in the book. The second movie was definatley one of those where you should definately read the book first. Over all I didn't think the first movie was bad but the newer version was done terribly.
