Elvis
This highly exciting biopic is of course about the life of the famous Elvis Presley. The film captures the disorderly and intoxicating nature of the life of Elvis to an excellent level.
Now obviously the elephant in the room is the performance of Austin Butler. Everything about this performance was absolutely phenomenal, from the acting, to the singing and dancing this is truly one of the greatest single performances I’ve ever seen.
Because of how incredible Butlers performance was I do believe I enjoyed this a lot more than I would have if it were someone else in the role. However, that doesn’t matter as it was Butler in the role. The rest of the supporting cast such as Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker who fully exploited Elvis for his own personal benefit were all very enjoyable and entertaining additions to this film.
I do believe that this film is a little too long at 2 hours 39 minutes, however, I really enjoyed the pacing of it and was engaged throughout the whole watch.
As a whole Elvis is a super fun and entertaining movie which is filled with exciting moments and an extraordinary performance from Austin Butler.
9.1/10 for 4 1/2 stars.
