Dynamic cuts, rushing through events, back and forth cuts, flashbacks, comic book frames.. it looks more like the whole thing is a single music video. While I can live with that, the two terrible R&B songs from nowadays broke the movie for me. You are in the previous century and you suddenly hear modern hip-hop or R&B music about asses and stuff, which has nothing to do with the visuals on the screen. As if someone payed the producers for advertisement.
Since this is not Captain Marvel, but a real historic figure, it felt as a terrible spit in the face of Elvis.
Other than that the camera work was excellent, screenplay missed Elvis' fat period and for the first time Tom Hanks made me hate him!
Without the bad covers and the hip-hop I would have given it a 9.
