Elvis is interesting. I enjoyed it. You can definitely tell it was Baz Luhrman. Its not a full retelling of the life of Elvis, more the relationship between he and Colonel Tom. But Elvis' influences are fleshed out.
As someone who grew up in an Elvis house, it put a smile on my face to hear those songs paired with a great performance from Austin Butler.
I would say if you're alright with Elvis but don't like Baz Luhrman's style, it isn't a movie that will have been better on the big screen, but if you love Elvis, I would think you will like it no matter what.
