For fans of Presley himself, this is the story you’ve been waiting for, and with “Unchained Melody” in your head, you’ll leave the theatre with more respect for Presley, for those you love, and for anyone who has ever been burnt by the hand that should have shown them comfort.

Elvis is as much a ride following the highs and lows of the musician’s fabulously rich and sad life as it is a one-way journey into the extremities of its director’s exhaustive imagination. For better, and worse.

An absolute masterpiece and a must watch! I wouldnt sleep on this or listen to all them mixed/ negative reviews. This movie as touched my soul as much as elvis's music did.

loved it so much, so fun and entertaining but sad & unfortunate at the same time. i cried twice while seeing this in theatres. during the “if i can dream” performance (the audience in the theatre clapped when it finished) i wasn’t expecting to shed tears during that scene but it just happened! he sings with such passion and soul that it filled me with emotion. and again at the end of course :(. beautiful movie. long live the king.

Luhrmann’s movie achieves its goals of highlighting Elvis’ music while providing a capable, if imperfect, abstract of his life. For fans of the icon and his music, it hits enough sweet spots to be worthy of a theatrical viewing.

Although its rapid pacing doesn't always allow for the dramatic moments to resonate for as long as they could, Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic is a heartfelt and moving tribute to the late rocker.

The viewer may struggle with the continuing inconsistency — the film is more comfortable with the supposedly compromised Elvis than the barely seen roots artist — but the audience is, at least, propelled back into the street in something like an elevated mood.

Luhrmann sees the chief utility of Elvis (or “Booby,” as his loved ones called him) as a pedestal for his everything-all-the-time maximalism, the King of Rock and Roll’s taste for excess in harmony with the Aussie auteur’s desire to shove shock-and-awe cinematic effect down his viewers’ throats until we choke to death on whip zooms.

It’s hard to find even ironic enjoyment in something this high on its own supply; something much less interested in how its namesake broke the rules than it is in how its director does, and something tirelessly incapable of finding any meaningful overlap between the two.

Un biopic maravilloso, uno de los más icónicos, Austin Butler como Elvis fue espectacular y perfecta pero lo único malo es Tom Hanks y su personaje que a menudo se interpone en la experiencia con el espectador hacia Elvis y al cual frecuentemente parece intentar opacarlo, todo lo demás es simplemente genial.

OK overall but rough start. Tom Hanks also does a really terrible performance.

All I can say is WTF? As one reviewer noted, this is more about the director than Elvis.
