The acting and director should receive the Oscars!
The real life story of Elvis
Tom Hanks performance was disconcerting. Austin's performance gave the flick some redeeming value, but he was unable to rescue this biopic. Certain significant aspects of Elvis's life (drug addiction, marriage to a young teenager and his extensive movie career) were almost ignored. Who wrote this screenplay? Elvis's mother?
Excellent movie! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Austin played Elvis awesomely!! Was easy on the eyes too!! Tom Hanks was also convincing as his manager. Loved the music! Took me back!
ELVIS!!! Austin did a Spectacular performance, tom hanks was Fantastic
Good movie. Enjoyed it tremendously.
This was a terrible movie. My partner and I walked out after about 40 minutes. We couldn’t tolerate the chaos, music mash-ups ( since when did rap have anything remotely to do with Elvis?) carnival madness, and blindingly quick camera edits. I get it, I get it, Tom Parker is a carny huckster, and Elvis is a country boy thrown into a hopelessly confusing welter of grifters. Too bad the whole hot mess was completely unwatchable.

The movie was VERY well done. The acting was great! The title is the biggest problem, because Col. Tom Parker is what the movie is really all about. Tom Hanks deserves another award for his portrayal of the colonal. My personal opinion of what is accurate and what is missleading in the movie is immaterial to a rating and review because it is called entertainment, and is great at what it does. People who didn't like the movie and gave it a bad rating admitted they didn't like Elvis. My opinion is, don't pay to go see a movie about someone you hate, and then criticize the story.
ok maybe a bit slow at times but Hanks is great and the ending - well, you havta see it.
