G Reviews
The first half hour of over the top stereotypes did it for meā¦this movie is just terrible.
Given that this was supposed to be based on a hip hop lifestyle in the Hamptons, it was a little lacking in bling. The leads have all done better work on other projects. A poor reworking of the Great Gatsby.
I wouldn't call this a "retelling of the classic novel..." it's more like a raping instead. I honestly don't even think it is worth rating it is SOOOO BAD!!! They've really hacked the classic and turned it into a Ghetto Fabulous TRAGEDY....FO SHO!!!
Yes folks, this is a Hip Hop version of "The Great Gatsby." This wasn't great, but above mediocre, and therefore very good. It took me a real long time to see this, but it was well worth the wait. Great soundtrack with music by Bill Conti (of Rocky fame). Much better ending for G than Gatsby as well cuz the bitch got what she had coming, don't fuck wit a dude's feelings twice!
