    This was a very eye opening to his life and to the struggles he faced while he lived. Was great to watch and sad when you think. The man loved to sing and loved his family so much.

    Really shallow. Insultingly simplistic. This is more interested in myth-making than truth, and there's far too much myth about Elvis already. And Elvis was NOT such a great human being. The movie glosses over how Elvis groomed his future wife Priscilla and had sex with her when she was only fourteen years old; and his infamous union with Richard Nixon. Elvis asked Nixon to target The Beatles, calling them "Anti-American." It's funny how Presley was even more paranoid than Nixon! Elvis then asked Nixon for a DEA badge and pledged his support for Nixon's war on drugs, even though Elvis was a pill popping drug fiend himself! And it all added up to an ignominious death on the toilet. Perhaps someone should make a film about the parallels in the lives of Elvis and Lupe Velez.

    It was incredibly entertaining which is the number one goal of a movie. Elvis’ legacy will hopefully continue to shine He was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century with a fabulous singing voice and spectacular charisma. This movie is amazing !!!!

    This movie is brilliant. It is great entertainment. We are going again next week. The theater was state of the art. Austin Butler was superb: as were the supporting cast. Applaud the professionalism and work ethic of this high end biographical movie.

    I really appreciated how tasteful it was done, I wasn't sure how I was going to like Austin Butler or anyone else playing Elvis, but he did a great job!!! If you are an Elvis fan...you must see this movie, and if you are not, you still should see it, you might appreciate what Elvis did for Rock and Roll!!!!!

    Having loved Elvis and seeing him in concert several times, must say Austin Butler did an amazing job as Elvis, to the point that I forgot he wasn't! Tom Hanks as Colonel Parker was excellent! This movie movie was very emotional for me at times, as I lived it! Going to see it again ! My Grandson took me along with other family members, so three generations!
