Elvis

[maggiebee]

Went to see this film earlier today. Absolutely amazing, many of the audience were sobbing at the end. Austin Butler who played Elvis was amazing - a name to watch for in the future. Tom Hanks as Col. Parker was almost unrecognisable in his fat suit. Thought I knew a lot about Elvis, but learned a lot. Quite a long film but worth every minute.

I really enjoyed it. The guy who played Elvis was amazing.

//Probably another 60s stuff//
Not sure what that sentence means but yes, it's a biopic of Elvis's life and his career through the 50s, 60s and 70s. Still a best seller today

Totally agree, never really got the whole ‘Elvis’ thing, thought he was overrated. I was 12 when he died.
Film was a revelation, grinning from ear to ear for the first 20 minutes as his brand took off, gutted at how he was manipulated throughout his career, dreadfully sad and tearful at the final scene, it was heartbreaking.
Hanks is a seasoned actor so I was expecting his amazing performance, Austin Butler made me question whether I was indeed watching the real Elvis.
I went in a sceptic, came out a fan.
Mesmeric, Austin Butler was beyond comparison.
Deserves any Oscar he will hopefully receive.

Don't miss is Smowball - fantastic film and you won't be disappointed.
I'm going to give it a couple of weeks then go back to see it again.
