The director is know for very flamboyant movies, ie "Moulin Rouge" and "Great Gatsby", and this movie is no exception. It is very much over the top, in every way that Elvis himself was over the top. That being said, it tells the story of Elvis and the Colonel as close as you could in a movie setting. Also, the soundtrack is great. Austin Butler sings as Elvis early in the film and does a great job and later it's Butler mixed with Elvis' own vocals, plus they're are some new mixes and covers that are incredible.
