It's crazy to think John Carpenter once directed an Elvis biopic only 2 years after his death. John Carpenter. That's wild.
Anyway this one is pretty good. Too long, but I like it when filmmakers inject style into something that could so easily be uninspired. Bohemian Rhapsody comes to mind. What a terrible movie. Not Elvis though. Elvis is a nice middle ground between the styalised Rocketman, and the straightforward Bohemian Rhapsody, with just enough colourful style to keep me invested and overcome an otherwise pretty standard script.

They really don't need to keep making these movies. Warner Bros; you are under no obligation. They aren't that profitable. They aren't artistically significant. They are written by the world's wealthiest TERF. They are directed by the world's least inspired, yet most complicit director. You fired the titular character of the second film. You wrote out the female protagonist of the previous two films. Eddie Redmayne is the main character. I do not see where this story could be going in any meaningful or interesting direction.

Sony is so generous! They'll give terrible writers and terrible directors their long awaited opportunity to continuously one-up themselves in making the worst superhero movie of the early 2000s.
Until this film I was in the Jared Leto indifference camp. But now I've booked a round trip on the Jared Leto hate express.Also, and I don't think I need to say this but, this is Sony's fault.
