Unfortunately, we thought the movie was choppy.. too many flashbacks and way too long... Tom Hanks was super annoying..
Butler gave an excellent performance..more of Elvis’s music would have done the movie justice.

It is good. But long. And mostly not the movie I wanted it to be. But it is good.

It is NOT a musical but contains a lot of great music. Original Elvis tunes, remixed versions also.… Expand

I am not an emotional person, but a slight breeze could have sent me into inconsolable tears at the end. Just go watch it, you won't regret it.

I loved it!! Awesome cast, acting, directing and soundtrack! Austin Butler gave an Oscar worthy performance as Elvis. Tom Hanks was also amazing. This movie is breathtaking, especially if you are an Elvis fan. I will see it again.

I have to say it's a great movie. I liked it more than bohemian rhapsody. The audiovisual side of the film is top notch. Give the same top.

His long and storied life is covered quite extensively in this epic of a film (clocking in at nearly 2 and three quarter hours long), is full of glitz and glamor in true Baz Luhrman fashion, (who also dazzled us with 'Moulin Rouge' and 'The Great Gatsby') and details everything from his extensive touring, his troubled and tragic personal life/marriage, and his financial abuse at the hands of his manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks in a rather hammy and prosthetic -heavy performance). Stepping into the shoes of the legendary rock n roll singer is Austin Butler, who is without a doubt the primary reason to check this film out, as he completely loses himself within Elvis. From his near-identical resemblance to the singer to performing his own singing and sounding exactly like him, he will rightfully be the high standard from here on out to which all other Elvis impersonators are compared to or aspire to live up to. As for the story itself, while it is standard biopic formula, the narration from the Colonel throughout adds a unique and fun touch to things, and Elvis's story is so extensively detailed that it's hard not to be impressed by the end result, along with the level of detail and production value that only enhances his story even further. But overall, besides being just another musical biopic (which it is), it's still a worthy addition to the ever-growing list of musical biopics thanks largely in part to Butler's magnetic and committed performance, along with the dazzling production value that's unmistakably Baz Luhrman. Both fans of his previous films and Elvis fans alike will likely eat this film right up.… Expand

Baz Luhrmann'in sinemasinin kendine has bir temasi var. Iyi bir film izleyicisiyseniz Luhrmann filmini 100 mil uzaktan bile fark edebilirsiniz. Elvis de tipki Luhrmann'in onceki filmlerinden alistigimiz dogrultuda ilerleyen bir filmdi. Sahne gecisleri oldukca guzeldi. Birbirinin icine giren sahnelerden etkilenmemek cok guc. Austin Butler'in performansi muhtesemdi. Oscar sezonu daha yeni basliyor sayilir, neler olacagina dair kesin bir kanida bulunmak zor ama tahmin yapabiliriz. Austin Butler'in bu filmdeki roluyle beraber en azindan Oscar adayligi almasi artik cok muhtemel. Elvis Presley'i daha iyi kim canlandirabilirdi? Onun jenerasyonundaki aktorlerden elimizde cok fazla opsiyon yok. Austin Butler'in kariyeri de bu filmden sonra daha da patlama yapmaya devam edecektir. A Star Is Born. Tom Hanks ise Tom Hanks. Usta yine harika bir performans gostermis. Onu daha cok iyi karakterleri canlandirmasiyla hatirlayanlar var ama kariyerinin artik bu asamasinda kotu karakterlere de tam oturacagini gosteriyor. Nedense filmi izlerken aklima ileride bir Churchill filmi daha cekilirse rolu Tom Hanks'in kapmasi gerektigi geldi. Elvis'e harika bir film diyemem. Kotu bir film de diyemem. Elvis Presley'nin muzigine hayran oldugum icin sevdigim bir film oldu ve begendim. Luhrmann'in aciklamalarina gore filmin orijinal suresi normal sureden cok daha uzun olacakmis ancak 2 saat 39 dakikaya cekebilmis. Yine de bir Elvis filmi olmaktan daha cok Tom Parker filmi gibi. Daha iyi olabilir miydi? Kesinlikle.… Expand

Elvis would seem to be not a big deal but in reality it manages to be for me a great gift for elvis from heaven, an acceptable script and the great work Austin Butler manages to feel like another excellent song by the artist

Usually these films are pretty straight in their narrative but Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS is a wonderfully stylish and sophisticated work of art. Austin Butler IS Elvis. An oscar worthy performance (sadly oscars not relevant anymore)
The only nitpick I have about the film is briefly played soundtrack songs performed by modern era artists. I will never be able to understand the use of modern pop/hip-hop sound in a film depicting historical events.… Expand

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this creative effort. The performances were spot on as each actor provided genuine representation, showing true interest in exhibiting as much of the authentic character as possible. Some may feel it is sligtly to long, but I feel it was necessary to capture all the essential elements of Elvis. See this movie if you enjoy true authentic biopics. You will "leave the building" feeling very good... Very, very good...… Expand

Elvis Presley Ressurection?!

This movie is really well-made by resurrecting our G. O.A. T. and a.k.a. The King of Rock n Roll, Elvis Presley. A glimpse of Elvis Presley's life is narrated from his childhood until his death. As a US foreigner, I didn't know a lot about him except in movies and people's reference. Thanks to this movie, at least I know about him better.

This movie really highlights Elvis's struggle at every moment of his life. Thanks to this movie production team, especially the director. Director's choice seems perfectly made to decide Austin Butler as Elvis Presley. His physical look and voice are seeming uncanny! I can't imagine if actually, Harry Styles was cast to play him. Maybe I could Imagine this singing scene "AS IT WAS ting ting ting ting, ting ting, ting ting ting ting..." lol *no offense. Besides that, I'm feeling so energized and nostalgic throughout this movie. It's felt so real and the vibes are so emotional. The only cons for this movie seem too long - almost 3 hr and I hope there's a more singing scene for a complete song.

Overall, I justify the greatness of Elvis Presley. Wowza! It's incredible knowing if he was with us! The emotions that I've been feeling until now are vintage vibes and hopeful. He is really hopeful and dreamer person through enigmatic charm. Make sure don't miss this movie at the cinema! I'm positive that this movie gonna be nominated for an Academy Award, especially Austin Butler's performance.… Expand

The presentation of facts and truth is on point and it's actually one I can say they did a great job on showcasing how Presley Enterprises was used and also how black culture and music influenced Elvis in a way that made him an ideal personThe presentation of facts and truth is on point and it's actually one I can say they did a great job on showcasing how Presley Enterprises was used and also how black culture and music influenced Elvis in a way that made him an ideal person for challenging racism and segregation issues.
They gave full credit to the original creators of everything he did and how it worked with him and his relationship dynamics with each of them.
And, of course, many people believe that is why Lisa later married Michael Jackson. Undoubtedly, black music and culture was the heart of what made him succeed but his own soul and how he connected with music without consideration to skin color or the government's politics was genuine. He set a stage for a lot of rebellion at a time that was crucial in history. I fully recommend the film.… Expand
