    An outstanding performance by this gorgeous guy who actually looks like Elvis. The actual story of how this phenomenal talented artist became a legend. I absolutely loved it.

    I've seen it three times, and want to see it again. Austin Butler disappears into the role! I'd like to see it in IMAX.

    I really enjoyed this movie. I did not know that Tom Parker treated Elvis's mom and dad so mean. I didn't know Elvis's mom drank either. The whole movie was wonderful.

    I saw Elvis 6 times I can’t wait to buy it!!! SO well done! Austin Butler deserves an Oscar so does the director!! Thank u for giving us such a wonderful movie. Elvis was a gift to us now I know for sure he loved us too. I can’t wait until the Oscars! Girl if u want to hear more of his songs buy the cds. His music will never grow old. No way the director could have played more of his songs. Stay for the credits. Each time I saw this movie I was drawn into it more than before. The casting was so perfectly done. I will always love Elvis now more than ever

    Austin Butler was phenomenal as Elvis; I couldn't believe that he actually sang many of the songs also. He looked so much like Elvis; it's hard to believe he could sound like him, too. The energy of the performances takes you right back to Elvis. It's hard to stay in your seat! If you lived through his career, you will love it and it's a great introduction to why he was such a powerful performer if you haven't seen Elvis before. Tom Hanks was also excellent. Go see it! I would definitely go again if it was showing near me

    I loved how Austin dedicated 2 years of his life studying Elvis and reading every book about Elvis. I believe the spirit of Elvis filled Austin giving us such a magnificent, Heartfelt performance! He was beyond AWESOME. Academy Award winning performance for sure.

    Exhilarating and heartbreaking. No one will put in a performance as profound as Butler did as Elvis this year. This wasn’t a caricature or an impersonation. He completely inhabits the role. Details and facts are melded and played around with to create an emotional truth that gets to the essence of Elvis the performer and person. You won’t walk away with exact historical recollection, but you will feel like you got to know who Elvis was and what inspired him. The filmmaking is a spectacular accomplishment of filmmaking with vibrant and hypnotic visuals, mesmerizing music and a master talent of editing and cinematography prowess mixing mediums and styles and aesthetics. It’s akin to the editing magic of JFK but filtered through a diamond studded fairytale of good and evil, artist and con artist, talent and deception. The ending is bittersweet as we recognize a tragic ending but also enduring influence.

    I loved the back story and the history of Elvis' rise and his career. I wanted more of my favorite songs like In the Ghetto, Kentucky Rain. etc. I wish it would have been more in depth towards the end of the film.
