Elvis

[Jumper_Dad]

Went with my wife and daughter to see this tonight. My wife and I both grew up listening to Elvis music played by our parent. We were both old enough to know how big a star he was when he died. We really enjoyed the movie, daughter nearly fell asleep. 😆 

The movie starts kinda slow, but when it hits it stride (around the 1968 NBC special) we loved it. It touches on his problems, but the focus is his relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker.

The actor playing Elvis does a really good job. He sings on every song but one I think, in some his voice was blended with Elvis' voice but you can't tell where one starts and the other stops.

Buy a large popcorn, it is over 2 and 1/2 hours long.

If you like Elvis or his music, I think you will enjoy this movie.

I will probably wait until it hits Prime.   I like Elvis's music, but I have no interest in his backstory.

Same.  Will probably check it out, eventually.
