 do NOT hesitate....I went from major skeptic to major enthusiastic supporter!Aug 17, 2007
By Richardson
"Clarence"
I hate biopics...the stars are never as interesting or charismatic as the artists they portray and they just come across as second class...TV!
well...I passed on this when it ran on the tube...and I WAS WRONG! This is off the hook good...the star gets Elvis...the shyness, the enthusiasm, the desire for fame....the naive little boy in the ever evolving sex symbol package, Randy Quaid is dead on perfect as the Colonel..and the rest of the cast does not dissapoint.
I am telling you...the recreations are breathtakingly cool.. these producers GOT IT...and GOT IT RIGHT...
this is from a very very hard to please skeptic...
Elvis fans will love it...casual fans who may be interested because of all the press on Elvis this week (30th anniversary of his passing)..this would be a great place to learn about The King!

Great Mini-Series!Jun 10, 2007
By Movie Nut
As a life long Elvis fan this was one of the better movies about the 'King'! Of course there is nothing like the original...but this movie covered alot of territory that has not been touched upon before. I was glad to finally see a portrayal of Colonel Tom Parker as he really was suppose to be..a real CREEP! This film finally shows just how deep Elvis got in with Parker, and in the end did stand up for himself. Having been to Graceland, the realism of the filming being done in Memphis(for certain scenes) was the best. The supporting actors are also great! Besides getting to the truth on Parker we get to see that Elvis and Ann-Margret were involved as she attests to in her bio, and now we get to see what really happened. I have seen this movie several times thanks to 'Showtime Channel' and am so glad that it will be out on DVD this summer- With all the garbage being released daily, I only wish the studios wouldn't make us wait forever for quality shows/movies! To the movie studios..Keep Up The Good Work!!

Great Historically Accurate Movie!!!!!!Jul 21, 2007
By Ralph F. Glaser
"urbanfolksinger"
I saw this movie about two months ago on Showtime. Hadn't heard of it before then. I have been to Graceland, Sun Studio, Beale Street, and various areas around Memphis. It is pretty cool that all the locations used in the movie are historically accurate. I am also a fan of the early Sun Records rockabilly stuff (mainly 1954-1957) and was delighted to see his connection with Sun portrayed accurately. Great movie, great acting, JRM portrays Elvis as the shy, gawky teenager to the later 60's Elvis depressed by how far he had become distanced from his musical roots, and the reality that he was no longer the public figure his entourage was conning him (whether knowingly or unknowingly) into believing he was. I think this is the truest portrayal of who Elvis really was, and even though it it was sad in it's reality at times, it gave me a more "human" view and insight into the "King of Rock and Roll". I can't wait to get the DVD!

A Tribute To The KingAug 16, 2007
By William Jurgens
This program was awesome. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers perfomance was amazing, he nailed Elvis right down to the blue suede shoes. I think this movie really captured Elvis the person and brought him to life once again. The final scene was inspiring, and summed up the entire story in one song. This shows why to many of us, Elvis will always simply remain, "The King." Also, this story will introduce this legend to a whole new generation.

Meyers is King !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jun 18, 2007
By Mr. Michael J. Lupo
I am a diehard lifelong Elvis fan and this is the ONLY movie on Elvis ever made that is outstanding. Meyers is perfect, without going over the top or looking like an imitator. Other movies had Elvis with his jumpsuit on at Graceland, overdoing the accent, sunglasses on everywhere, ect. (and that includes Kurt Russell who was WAY overrated in his portrayal). The rest of the cast is also outstanding, as well as the script and using the King's real music ! The story line for the most part was very accurate and focused on important things no other movie has. Kudos to Quaids performance of Colonel Tom. I can't believe it took so long to release this on DVD. My only question now would be...can Myers & Co. do a sequel to finish the rest of his life ????!!!!
