I was thinking more of a biopic, but you're right that is probably the greatest Elvis movie. I'm just disappointed Coscarelli didn't make Bubba Ho-tep and the She Vampires, or whatever the hell it was called.

Bubba Ho-tep was so much fun. lol
When I first saw the poster for this Elvis movie, my initial thought was:
Why are they doing a Bollywood version of Elvis??

I'm like halfway through, and figured I'd check this thread (as I'm losing interest). The most jarring thing to me is the random, modern rap tracks that appear throughout. And for a movie about Elvis, there's a surprisingly little amount of actual celebration of his music. It's almost an afterthought.
I fucking hate the 2020s. Let's put some bitch rapping about her coochie in an Elvis movie. Great idea! Fuck these people.

I personally was sorta offended that they left out Hawaii in the story. He spent a lot of time here and he was pretty happy and mostly healthy during it. They also skipped over the fuck tons of movies he made and the Hollywood portion of his life.
Not to mention the karate, firearms and hanging out with Nixon asking to become a DEA agent.

I am mostly a fan of Elvis music over Elvis movies but a lot of his music really has stood the test of time.
Jailhouse Rock is probably one of the first music videos ever made. It came out when my dad was 6 years old and its still just as awesome whenever you fire it up on YouTube. Soundtrack sucked, a lot of this movie sucked. Somehow the soundtrack sucked balls like Gravel says.
I mean for a dude that had hundreds of songs and billboard hits how do you fuck up a soundtrack to a movie about him?

I am not a huge Elvis fan but the amount of quality music he put out cannot be denied. I don't karaoke but I am certain I could do a lot of his songs without a monitor.
The 68 Elvis Comeback Special was pretty damn amazing. It really showcased his enormous talent. It was obviously the inspiration for MTVs Unplugged.

Its just another cautionary tale of White Supremacy. Poor black southern musician gets ripped off by old white guy.
