After about ten minutes, I was both exhausted and terrified. Was what I had just seen - colourful but frenetic and haphazard going to continue? Well, it does calm down - and continues to quite cleverly interweave the early years and aspirations of this young boy with the openly racist political situation that prevailed in the Southern Uni...

MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "Elvis features a glorious, electrifying, iconic performance from Austin Butler that will deservedly guarantee him all the awards of the year. Unfortunately, the actor isn't enough to overcome the many technical issues, besides Tom Hanks' massive miscast and the formulaic music...

Film ruined the career of Elvis Presley. In the 1960s, while The Beatles and Rolling Stones were airborne across America, he was caught in a trap: starring in over 20 inane film projects. This allowed the rock n’ roll revolution that centered on Elvis to pass him by. Ironically, this story and more were adapted to the screen last month in...

**Good moments but WAY too long.** A spectacular performance by Austin Butler, fabulous costumes, and set design were all weighed down by a much too long runtime and the impending doom of focusing on Elvis’ crooked manager.

ELVIS (2022) has flashes of brilliance but Baz Luhrmann's scissor-happy editing causes it to suffer as the music isn't allowed to breathe. And Tom Hanks's Goldmember impersonation is... something.

_Elvis_ is exactly what I expected going into this and I still found myself having a great time with this film. It is so incredible seeing the highs and lows of an artist's career and being there for the ride is such an intimate experience, even if the actual story is probably butchered to death to fit in a feature length film. But a biop...

I found this movie to be fairly entertaining and, if mostly accurate, how much damage a con man can do to a performer’s career, and indeed their life, if they are unscrupulous and greedy. I had heard that the man who called himself Colonel Parker had forced songwriters to give Presley writing credits before he would let him perform their ...

Elvis (2022) is a biopic that offers an insightful glimpse into the life and talent of one of the greatest performers to ever grace the stage. Austin Butler delivers an outstanding performance as Elvis, effortlessly capturing the essence of the legendary artist from start to finish. His portrayal is likely to earn him much-deserved accola...

**amazing, beautiful and shocking movie** I didn't expect that I would like the movie in this way because I have no interest in the singer Elvis Bresley because I have never heard his songs. All I know is that he is a rock and roll legend. I had no interest or any attachment to this character, but the movie made me admire his true per...
