As already pointed out , for the first 30-40 minutes you see a fat Tom hanks hogging the screen while literally peeking on Elvis's performance. The decision to have a hateful character like Colonel Parker given the voiceover to the movie was not at all a good one.
Austin Butler is awesome and so are the supporting characters. Tom's portrayal of the obnoxious Colonel Parker was realistic.
The low light is pointing modern tunes to Elvis's legendary old golden songs and too much non linear storytelling and using too much footage of Tom Hanks and having him narrate the Story. (it was proved Colonel Parker worked Elvis like a workhorse) The ending is a tearjerker as we see Elvis's final performance in 1977 as a chubby middle aged singer whose songs still have the same depth when he was a young man. The montage of the real Elvis was very welcome.
