Elvis Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin Ward3d agoAustin Butler is incredible. Spectacular performance combined Baz Luhrmann’s extravagant and excessive directorial flair is a match made in….Vegas. The similar over the top treatment to the mustache twirling super villain, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), doesn’t work quite as well. (Maybe he should have had an actual mustache). Still, Hanks wild accent isn’t enough to derail this film as Butler’s showcase is the real showstopper. I’m not even sure whether or not they utilized any archive footage of Elvis himself. (And I don’t care to know). It’s the kind of movie magic I love. It’s not as deep or as dark as it could have been but it’s a fitting tribute to one of music’s greatest.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025A confusing mess. It's hard to know if that's appropriate or not seeing as I feel I actually know less about Elvis having sat through this shit.
- Eric BakkeOctober 12, 2024A bit reminiscent of Milos Foreman's "Amadeus", but in a very Baz Luhrmann sort of way.
- Mister ArnMay 15, 2025I appreciated the narrative's unique perspective from Colonel Parker's lens, then positioning Elvis as the star. Hank's playing against type portrayed a character so unappealing that a mere glance at his face would stir disdain. His performance was perhaps too convincing, thereby skewing the film's balance. Despite this, I found the movie entertaining and recommend it to anyone with even a slight interest in Elvis.
- RyezooFebruary 5, 2025Kept my interest throughout the entire runtime. Learned a lot and Austin Butler's performance of Elvis was great... I just wish the story gave him more to act with in terms of character development. Tom Hanks was a little ridiculous at times but it didn't ruin the experience. Wish they dabbled more into all the drugs and women he was into. They played it a little safe when it comes to that. Worth watching but not necessarily in theaters.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 31, 2025Glued to the screen twice. Brilliant acting, wonderful soundtrack. Enjoyed every minute. Took me back to years I'd forgotten about. I was never an Elvis fan but this film is just excellent and the choice of tracks and singing so good.....
