Watched it tonight with the better half. Stunning. Hats off to Baz Luhrmann. And I'm no great Elvis fan. The set pieces are just fantastic and the sound is superb. Austin Butler is a revelation - I'd not heard of him before. His performance is so good, I hope it doesn't define his career and that he gets more good and different roles alá Tom Hanks, who is as good as we have come to expect in his role as 'Col. Tom Parker'.

We all know the ending and it is portrayed sympathetically and with compassion to a tragic figure.

Really enjoyed it.

I just thought Austin Butler was too "pretty" for Elvis but did a great job.

Loved the typical Luhrman cinematography, and the performances.

However, it felt the latter end/death was a bit glossed over, imo.
