I fell asleep midway. It had a lot of potential, but fell short. Some of the scenes were really cool, but overall I will probably never willingly watch this movie again.

Incredibly boring movie. Not worth a watch.

I really enjoyed this movie and wouldn’t hesitate to see it again. There were moments when my eyes were wide…”Are they really going to go there??? Yes. They are going there.” Even if you know nothing about Robbie, it was just a very well put together film. I didn’t know who he was.

Just watched this for the first time. Did not disappoint.

Excellent movie. I was almost turned off when I saw that the movie was 2 hours and 45 minutes long, but I decided to watch it anyways. As someone who would not call herself an Elvis fan, or someone who has spent a substantial amount of time researching his catalogue, I still became emotionally invested as the events of his life played out on screen. I laughed, became angry, and at points, felt very sad for Elvis. The negative implications surrounding his proximity to blackness was also an eye-opener. Prior to seeing this film, I noticed some criticism surrounding the cinematography style and also the fact that modern music can be heard throughout the film (for example, you can hear Doja Cats's rendition of "Hound Dog" which is titled "Vegas".) The cinematography imitates that of a rollercoaster ride or amusement attraction, which makes sense to me. The life of a superstar is full of twists and turns, and I think that's what the director was trying to allude to. The modern music helps to bridge the gap between an entire generation of kids who have very little clue who Elvis was. In many ways, he was just like the youth of today, and there are parallels between the way his music made people feel and the way modern music makes certain people feel today. Go see it!
