Elvis Review by TheJonathanSim: A Solid Spectacle
? Austin Butler is far from a household name, and he was going up against more established actors such as Miles Teller, Harry Styles, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. For Hollywood to cast a less bankable actor like him was a risk, and one that paid off in volumes.
Butler is electric. He gives a show-stopping performance as Presley, nailing every single part of the famed musician. His speaking voice, his singing voice, and his dancing all feel like the King of Rock and Roll reincarnated in a star turn for the actor, who channels his role perfectly. His rock-star presence and phenomenal energy make Butler a revelation, and if he wasn’t a household name before, everyone should know his name now.
Tom Hanks is also impressive in this film. Having spent decades generally playing nice guys and heroes, Hanks takes a more antagonistic turn as Parker, Presley’s manager who had a significant impact on his career. His prosthetics and accent can make this feel like a hammy, over-the-top role, but you truly forget that Hanks is considered one of the nicest men in Hollywood as he sinks his teeth into this character.
The movie does an excellent job of illustrating the relationship between Presley and Parker. Where the movie suffers is telling the rest of Presley’s story, with many elements, such as his romantic relationship with Priscilla and his relationship with his mother, getting briefly touched upon and not much more. This rings true when Kacey Musgraves’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” plays over a romantic scene rather than a scene where Presley could have performed it for his wife.
