My Thoughts:

While I did enjoy this film, I felt I could have enjoyed it more if it was done like most other biopics... and not been done by from the colonel's perspective. I personally would have enjoyed it much more if it was just the story of Elvis' life from childhood to death. Though I can understand why they did it this way. It was still good enough to keep my interest for the over 2 and a half hours that it lasted. So it is not like it is a bad movie. I would definitely say it is worth the watch. Even if they just barely glanced over certain parts of his life. The cast did do a good job and the story telling did keep my interest. So I am glad I added this one to my collection.
