Quoted from eldave1


Yeah... I know I am in the minority on Elvis


In the minority maybe, but not alone. I rewatched Bohemian Rhapsody and then watched Elvis. Hated the Elvis as much as I loved Bohemian Rhapsody. Prey was also good.

Just finished watching this and not being a fan of Elvis, I didn't think I would like it. I didn't. I loved it. I already knew that Elvis formed the crossover from RnB but I suppose I'd never considered just how epic this was. Elvis was the original white rudebwoy.

I absolutely loved the score in this. Not just the Elvis tracks, but the mixing and blending of new with old was delicious. I have a far greater appreciation for who Elvis was and now also his music.

Well written, well directed, acted, produced, and with a score of a level I have never previously heard, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Some great visuals, and Butler deserves the Oscar as he was as good as can be in the role.

The film itself felt like an experience rather than a cohesive piece of work.

This is probably what I'd say as well.

I think if you're going to make a biopic, it needs to offer something perspective-wise that I couldn't get from reading the wikipedia page. Hell, even Elvis's page has more context and detail around complex parts of Elvis's life, like that fact that Priscilla was a child when he groomed her, and other controversial things etc. This felt like someone skimmed a one-page biography and then joined ten music videos together. Austin Butler is pretty.
