Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 4410694, member: 25"] Just watched it. I was super apprehensive about it because I'm a pretty decent Elvis fan and usually things don't live up to the hype for me. To give you an idea, my Mom was a huge Elvis fan and took us to Hawaii as kids because Elvis loved Hawaii. I also got in a car with a couple waitresses when I bartended and drove overnight to visit Graceland in my early 20's....ah, another story for another time. I thought the style it was filmed in was excellent and really added to the movie. I did not care for Tom Hanks with the prosthetics and bad accent one bit, he's a Top 3 actor for me and I thought he was cartoony. Austin Butler really stole the show. Especially 2/3's through the movie entering the Vegas act era. There were times you almost thought they spliced real Elvis film in there and I'd almost put that piece of the movie up in a discussion thread with Bohemian Rhapsody of great musician representations.
