ELVIS….

Saw the previews while at the Top Gun movie. I wasn't excited by what I witnessed.
Thought it was sadly great… gave me a new appreciation for him… never a fan
It looks really corny from the previews. Seems to be well received based on most reviews I have seen
Not sure, but hell, Elvis Peacock could help this team right now. And he's 65.
Rushed 8 for 88 in the 1976 game in Lincoln including the 32 yarder hook and ladder play down to the 2 or 3. He scored on the next play to go up 20-17 with little time left.
Not a fan of “based on a true story” bio-pics. I’d rather just watch a good documentary.
I know what you mean. ANYTHING, almost, COULD be based on a true story
elvis's main problem was drugs, he would be doing 120 vegas shows while his manager was blowing a million at the table...he would have been better with no drugs, doing a couple shows, do some hunting and fishing and firing his bum manager. but hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
I'm not really an Elvis fan but my wife is so that means I have seen a few impersonators, even hired a couple for Birthday parties and visited Graceland last year. I guess you could say that I have grown to appreciate everything that he did. We went to see the movie on Friday. I thought it was pretty good. I would give it a 7/10. I can see why Priscilla so highly endorsed this movie. Even though she said it was because of the actor portraying Elvis, I 110% have a feeling it was due to the fact that they made the Colonel out to be an absolute POS which he is. I could maybe see some of the older Elvis fans not entirely enjoying the movie due to them mixing in some current artists into the soundtrack.
Went to a wedding in a little town in MS. The reception was in Tupelo. We saw the home (shotgun shack) where Elvis spent the first few years of his life. His parents were so poor that the county helped pay the hospital bill for his birth. Have also been to Graceland. Didn't know that Elvis had a twin brother who was stillborn. His parents and the brother are also buried at Graceland.
Been there as well…. Even though have not been a personal fan, can’t dispute his cultural influence
I just saw it today. I liked it a lot. I saw it at Alamo and they had a thing before the movie showing a bunch of other actors that played Elvis like Kurt Russell and Bruce Campbell. They missed Val Kilmer though. He played Clarence's voice inside his head Elvis in the very good movie True Romance. Highly recommend.
Elvis stole all of his energy in the womb. Poor kiddo never had a chance
Damn! I haven’t been hating Blevins for all these years? I’ll have to catch up.
The real Elvis is awesome. The guy in the movie looks like a pale-white feminine Ritchie Valens.
Gotta love Elvis!
Okay, I deserve the forthcoming rotten tomatoes.
Fire away, I'll take cover ...

I suspect Tom Hanks was a big reason this movie got made. He was unlikable and actually a giant distraction to me in the movie. They could have hired literally any B-list character actor to play his part and made it a more minor role and the movie would have been great. It just wouldn't have a star. It reminds me of the movie Lone Survivor. Marky Mark got that movie made with his star power. He played the main hero even though the real guy he was playing was 6'4" and nothing like Marky Mark.
