I may be one of the few who was a bit let down. Just felt like it was a lot of reused content that was already mainstream. But it’s Elvis and I enjoyed it nonetheless

Some people did feel that.
See, the important thing was what they did with footage. For maybe the first time they focused on how much in control Elvis was of his art.

Yes, and to be truthful I need to rewatch it. I sort of had it on in the background one day and it didn’t get my full attention. I think I’ll give it the time it deserves and rewatch it again

Yeah I get that. I also wasn't crazy about the mixing either. Some of the songs were changed around for dramatic effect or something, but I would have much rather heard the original versions.

The original versions are always there.

True, but typically if I'm watching a live performance, I want the music/audio to sound like how it did during the actual performance.

True. But the film sort of zigzagged between performances and rehersals, so it is already an altered experience.
