If you have not seen it... it is good. It's worth the trip. Hard to explain buts it not like any thing I expected. For being a 3 hour movie, we were hanging on every word.
Don't worry my wife will insure that I get the privilege of viewing it.If you have not seen it... it is good. It's worth the trip. Hard to explain buts it not like any thing I expected. For being a 3 hour movie, we were hanging on every word.
I was wondering how accurate it was. That is really good if they kept it fairly accurate and that entertaining.I saw it. I agree; I thoroughly enjoyed it. The actor did a great job as Elvis. He didn't come across as a silly imitator like some other actors have done with Elvis. He was believable. The flow and telling of the story between Elvis and the Colonel was done well. I'm a big Elvis fan anyway, and although all movies based on real life take liberties, the liberties it took didn't make much difference; it was surprisingly accurate. I was a little surprised at some things that it didn't focus on, but you can't hit every detail of a 20 year career in 2:40.
A couple of things exaggerated was during the 68 comeback, the colonel was running around puzzled all the time that Elvis wasn't doing Christmas songs; however, the premise that the colonel wanted a Christmas special and Elvis did not was accurate, and the special itself in black leather was very accurate. Also, Elvis's return to performing at Vegas played out more like 1970 Vegas than his actual return in 1969. There were a couple of songs out of chronological order, but those type of things didn't matter much.I was wondering how accurate it was.

It was extremely well put together, IMO.
I loved his movies when I was a kid.Well, his movies weren't exactly academy award quality.......
Mostly young skinny Elvis. The fat Elvis was shown briefly at the end, and my kids said for them, it was an emotional scene.Is it the young skinny Elvis or the old fat Elvis?
I would say the same. It was pretty somber in the theater. It almost had a lighter, memorial feel.Mostly young skinny Elvis. The fat Elvis was shown briefly at the end, and my kids said for them, it was an emotional scene.

I think because of all the pretty girls.
