And the facts coming out about the real P now.....show she was not at all the chaste "innocent" little teenage girl in Germany. Elvis was a class act compared to her. And the 7 foot tall actor with a 4 foot tall little girl! Really! Elvis was a great humanitarian. He was joyous , funny, deeply caring. He had a generous heart of gold from childhood to the end of his life. He was very human and his humanity was thrown to the wolves in the P film. Too many people know and love Elvis to fall form this. Nice try.

[@evap.5121]

I was moved by the first performances and Austin did well obviously because the stage parts are hard but he didn't nail the confidence and ease off stage. It's an air about you not just the mannerisms and voice. And the movie in itself was terrible. It was all over the place and wtf up with the random rap and Cardi B parts.

[@AustinMoona]

​@@evap.5121So the rap thing is a way of portraying the vibe that Elvis would give off back in the day. You see, in many ways, rap is today what rock n' roll was back in the day... Modern, rebellious, mostly popular among young people, music you wouldn't play around your parents, raunchy, music older people hate. You know? Elvis was a cool guy, always at front row... And they tried to portray that by using a little of today's modern music. It's a way of portraying what Elvis meant at the time. I don't like rap music but I totally understand Baz decision on that.

[@evap.5121]

@@AustinMoona ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? rap now is trash it's not equivalent to the value of African-American blues, Christian gospel, and Southern country (Elvis' influences) back in the day. They obviously just wanted the average dumb American to watch the movie. TF are you comparing Cardi B to Elvis?

[@AustinMoona]

@@evap.5121 If your take on my comment was that I was comparing Cardi B with Elvis then maybe you should try reading it again. Although I was expecting you to reply exactly that. Allow me to be clear, I'm not comparing the cultural significance of the two genres or the cultural richness or the last longing impact on society they may have. And I'm certainly not gonna list the music genres that were the building blocks of hip hop music or the origins of it cause it's besides the point. What I was trying to explain to you is that today, whether you like it or not is irrelevant, rap music has acquired a similar character to rock n' roll during those days... Raunchy, rebellious, vulgar (in the eyes of many at the time), it was young people's music. Now we appreciate rock n' roll and Elvis's music almost as if it was classic music and we value the cultural impact of it, it's part of history. However, back in the day it was nothing like that AT ALL. I mean, they even tried to put Elvis in jail for christ's sake. So it's fair to say that a lot of people at that time judged rock n' roll just the way you're judging rap today. It's history repeating itself. That's why I think they used rap music in the movie, it's a way to portray Elvis as a young "cool" guy that was always at the forefront and what he represented at the time. If you would've lived in those days you probably wouldn't have liked rock n' roll either.

[@AustinMoona]

@@evap.5121 I didn't even know Cardi B was the artist involved in the soundtrack of the Elvis movie till you mentioned it btw, I don't listen to rap music but that's my interpretation of why the took the decision of including modern music in the movie. There goes my two cents on the topic anyway.

[@RomaroBrandon]

Austin Butler is better because of more screen time as Elvis but also because in my opinion that movie made proven how much potential he has as an actor. Most people would have known him only as James from Zoey 101 20 years ago and maybe George in Wizards of Waverly Place or Peyton from Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure 10 years ago and now he'll be known for that and Elvis Presley as well as whatever else he's in.

Elvis was pure reminisces of the greatest singer and entertainer and was a prisoner. Pricilla showed Elvis’ life as only she and his friends saw, we heard of his temper.

Austin Butler in Elvis = number 1. Thank you for such a great performance, Mr. Butler!

[@christianprincess1878]

Austin Butler hands down but I was very pleased with Jacob Elordi's performance too. He also nailed the voice and mannerisms down. Great job from both actors.

[@fatnibbanoah1082]

they both did very good with what they were asked to portray. elordi played a great elvis that was being told from prisillas pov and butler played a great elvis in a different way

[@kishagreen4578]

In my opinion, it's only two Elvis bio movies that matter, the 1979 version with kurt Russell and 2022 version with Austin Bulter. These are the best representations of Elvis. Haven't seen Priscilla yet, but the trailer seems like it's boring.

[@maureen6907]

The Kurt Russell version was so underrated because it was a TV movie. TV movies were not seen as decent or "high art" as theatre releases. Kurt was able to get past his Disney image and get better roles. He even married the actress who played Priscilla in the TV movie .

[@Watch.Write.Ramble]

Just finished watching it. It is boring. Shame.

[@BeYounique...Maryanne]

It wasn't boring (the cinematography was fantastic, and the clothes were awesome, also a great soundtrack of artists because Elvis music wasn't allowed), but I left the theatre feeling "empty." It was just "alright."

[@gericaccavale9637]

Priscilla movie sucks big time!!! Austin and Baz are beyond amazing!!

[@msprettykawaii950]

Austin deserves an Oscar

[@phil4208]

Elvis with Austin butler was an excellent movie and I'm not a huge Elvis fan, Tom hanks as colonel Tom Parker was a scene stealer , 4 and a half stars out of 5 for the movie

[@nataliekriegler9329]

Agreed…Tom Hanks did a great job as Colonel Parker

[@robertacampbell5382]

There is no competition at all. No one can come even close to the job Austin did. He gave a once I a lifetime time Oscar worthy(which he got robbed of the oscar)Oscar. I have seen the clips from the Percilla movie ad that guy doesn't even come close to the job Butler did let known Elvis himself.

[@deborahmichalak8991]

I loved Austin Butler as Elvis, but he could never do the "lip curl" that I remember Elvis doing!

[@Elvisandstuff]

Austin is The king of Rock and Roll baby and my heart

[@davidharrison1523]

Absolutely Austin Butler without a doubt, as far as I am concerned. It was almost like having Elvis back among us again ….. almost. A wonderful performance by Austin.

[@Spac3bab3]

They’re both incredible actors I loved both of their performances ❤

[@lindafrancis1237]

Austinbutler ❤ is the winner!

[@ninahuebner1293]

Butler hands down was the best Elvis.

[@doreenm4987]

Austin Butler, hands down!! 🖤⚡️🖤⚡️

[@elizabethramsey7706]

Butler was robbed of the Oscar!!!

[@graceland123]

Butler was Brilliant ❤❤❤

[@JennyTheSleepyPanda]

I have no interest in seeing Priscilla because it just makes me feel extremely uneasy since I am massive Elvis fan (thanks to my dad), so, I'll have to go with Baz Lurhman's Elvis! Austin Butler worked his ass off to portray the iconic rock and roll singer we know and love. No disrespect to Jacob, but he doesn't have the mannerisms and voice for Elvis, so, Austin wins in my book! Also, Elvis actually hated the nickname "The King of Rock and Roll" because he said, "No, no, I'm not the King. Jesus Christ is the King.", little fun fact for y'all ❤️

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever Austin betler did a amazing job as Elvis and that is one of the very best movies ever 😊❤

[@brettwescott2793]

Austin Butler all the way

[@LindaNiquette-vh5bx]

I am sure Elvis would agree that Austin nailed it, bet he watched it and was smiling!!

[@janetlehrman6948]

Elvis, Austin Butler, hands down❤️

[@trinaq]

I'm greatly anticipating seeing "Priscilla" this weekend. I hope that Jacob will be able to make his iteration of the King unique, and not be compared or overshadowed by Austin's Oscar nominated turn!

[@christineoneal666]

Meh...The only Elvis better than Austin is the original Elvis...NO ONE can beat Austin's performance.

[@kishagreen4578]

@@christineoneal666 I agree💯

[@tonitessarolo1060]

You’re wasting your money and time watching Priscilla.

[@soph.studios21]

Austin will be ever known as the performer always. Jacob’s performance is more sincere to Elvis’s personal life with Priscilla. Good or bad times.
