This was a pretty good movie. I've never read the book, but from what others said after the preview screening it apparently ends on a more positive note than the novel itself does. I really enjoyed it because there was a compelling story and the acting performances were pretty good, especially that of Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby.
The only things that really bothered me were the music and the dancing. The party music was no where near the time period (it was almost all dance/techno/pop and rap) and the dancing was non-existant during the parties, pretty much just grinding and jumping up and down. However, since it's a Baz Luhrmann film I was somewhat expecting this, so it wasn't a total let down.
Overall, good film.
