Pretty good until the RAP music started playing

Around 20 minutes in, Hound Dog by Big Mama Thornton inexplicably morphs into a rap version. Gotta dumb down music history for today's dumb audience, you see.

Because Doja Cat sampled Thornton's version, which became a very popular remake of Hounddog. It's hard for anyone familiar with popular music to ignore that.

I tried twice, couldn’t get past 5 minutes. Ultimately, is this closer to the Bohemian Rhapsody flick or Rocketman (which was horrible IMO)?

Yeah I was watching this today and the modern rap music played during several scenes was completely distracting. What a terrible decision to put 2020s rap into a movie that is about the 70s

Definitely. If you're there for Elvis, play Elvis, not modern garbage.
