Elvis Review: Too Much Tom Hanks Steals Austin Butler's Thunder

Baz Luhrmann brings Elvis to the big screen in a glitter bomb explosion of sequins, swaying, and of course, music. The King of Rock 'n' Roll's electrifying energy and stage presence is gloriously captured at a breathtaking pace. Austin Butler catapults to stardom with a lightning in a bottle performance. He shimmies and shakes while dripping sensual rivers of sweat. If only Elvis were the star of his own biopic. A fat suit and prosthetics clad Tom Hanks takes center stage as the lecherous Colonel Tom Parker. Elvis's thieving manager and promoter narrates the story while gobbling up most of the screen time.
