Interested to see what Luhrmann does with this. Elvis is probably my favorite musician of all time so I’m really pumped for this one.
Will update with my thoughts when it’s over

Will be interested to see how much "modern lens" bullshite they try to inject into a film about Elvis.

I am excited as well. Elvis is my favorite entertainer of all-time. I expect the movie to be visually beautiful.
I heard it's really about capturing the 50s, 60s and 70s of America. I look forward to this.

Let's hear it.
Love Elvis. My only hesitancy in going to see this in the theater is the runtime.
Also could do without Tom Hanks.

Just got back from it. I'm a 28 year old who has never really known much about Elvis so take my opinion how you take it.
This movie should have been called "Elvis and the Colonel" or something. Austin Butler was phenomenal and Hanks was good but frick man I wanted more Austin Butler. Every time we got in a nice groove of screen time for Elvis, a Tom Parker scene would show up and last a but too long.
I wanted more Elvis. Like we get the point, Parker was a piece of shite. We didn't nearly need as much screen time for already knowing that. The timeline is a bit iffy just knowing about the deaths of MLJ and RFK but it didn't matter as much because I know it is really dramatized.
Run time could have been 30 minutes shorter and I wish the movie explored more of Elvis in his late teen and early adult years trying to make it. We kinda start with Parker meeting him within the first 5 minutes pretty much.
I think it's about a 6 to a 7 out of 10. Enjoyed it but it was long as hell and needed more Austin Butler as Elvis. The movie is called Elvis after all. Elvis doesn't need to play 2nd fiddle to Tom Parker the whole movie. This is a watch one time in my life kinda movie. Doesn't have much rewatch value.

Judging by the commercial, ALOT

As much as I love Elvis, I hate Tom Hanks movies and I’m gonna skip it just because of him.
As mentioned before, the Kurt Russell Elvis will always be the gold standard.

Pretty much all of this. Austin Butler was incredible and I think deserves to be up for an award for his performance. The movie was told from the Colonel’s perspective so there was a lot (perhaps too much) of him.
You could definitely tell Luhrmann directed it, as the movie seemed a bit frantic at times.
Overall though it was a very entertaining movie. Has a few flaws and inaccuracies, but still a movie I would definitely recommend seeing

Start an "official elvis movie discussion thread". Or edit this title. I'm going to see it tonight as well.
My moms too. So I love him just because my mom loved him so much. I even like most of his movies
