Review of Elvis (2022) by Soulwarfare — 12 Aug 2022
The movie makes weird choices. Modern songs in the soundtrack. Focusing on the manager rather than Elvis. Tom Hanks being the wrong choice for the manipulative manager. The disjointed and speed run nature of the film.
However, Austin Butler is phenomenal as Elvis with his voice and body language. There are so many moments where it feels like HE IS ELVIS! I also found the second half of this film a lot more enjoyable as it starts to feel more consistent in its direction. I also like the visual direction of the director as it gave the movie more style.
Overall, I found the movie enjoyable nonetheless but I wish Elvis was more of the focus rather than focusing on the manipulative nature of Parker.
