Saw this the other night and found it both entertaining and overly produced, which is Baz Luhrman's style so I expected that. I thought Austin Butler did a fine job as Elvis and Tom Hanks did his usual quality work, even with a heavily loaded script.

Anyone else see this yet?

I am on the fence, thinking about seeing it Monday, I saw the trailer for Elvis while in the theatre seeing the awesome Top Gun film, the trailer for Elvis seemed cool and interesting, but I need extra motivation to pluck down cash to go see a movie in the theatre these days. Would you recommend the film Dr. D? Thumbs up or down?

Have you seen any other Baz Luhrman films like Moulin Rouge? He's very stylized with his directorial eye so lots of production numbers and set pieces. I enjoyed it quite a bit myself. If you like Elvis songs it's worthwhile for that, as well as giving some historical perspective about a time that precedes you.
