Me and my grandma saw it this morning and Austin for best actor and when we got into the car Elvis actually came on the radio
That’s awesome!
AMAZING. Give the Elvis movie all the awards! Austin Butler as a guy loyal to a fault. Tom Hanks as a manipulator that did do some good. It was stylistic in the beginning with montages & Doja Cat to make it a little modern but once his mother died when Elvis got humbled.. 😭❤️
Glad you liked it!
10/10 This biopic is different and AMAZING.
Glad you liked it Jay!
Great Guitar intro Brando. I saw this in a fan early screening on Tuesday. The Concert sequences in a Dolby digital screen and surround sounds gives me one of the best experiences of this year
That's awesome man!
@@mikesilva3868 I have
I saw this flick tonight and I’m seeing this flick again tomorrow 🕺🕺🕺. Austin Butler is 🔥
He is fantastic!
Great review Brando and I’m definitely really loo forward to watching Elvis and plus I love baz luhrmann’s.
Thanks Tony!
Going to see this in a few hours. Honestly, my only hope is that they do the 70s era some justice.
Hope you like it!
@@BrandoCritic me too. I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping for the best.
For me it wasn't 'bloated' .... I'd love 4 hours of this stuff!
Glad you thought so Sheena
I’ll be seeing this next weekend with my mom as I know she’s excited for this one.
Hope you guys love it!
No one looked like Elvis. He had the most perfect unique look the world had ever known! Then there's his voice and so much more! He had it all man! There will never be another like him. Never! He was had a God given gift that will never be duplicated!
Absolutely!
Awesome review as always mate. I’m watching this on Saturday. Really excited to watch it.👍
Hope you enjoy it!
@@BrandoCritic thank you bud.👍
Oh my GOD!!! Can't BELIEVE someone besides ME knows and likes that obscure Elvis ditty, "Slice Some Sand"!!! MANY THANKS!!! 💋
Hahaha no problem Greg!
Thank you for a fantastic review! I felt everything you mentioned here. I didn't love it but I would also say like you that people need to see it. Amazing actors!
Absolutely!
I went tonight twice for the 25th time seeing it. I absolutely LOVE it. Austin was phenomenal!!!! He has brought new fans to Elvis!!! Now I’m in love with Austin!!!!
25 TIMES! Man, you are putting those theatre workers through college!
I ended up seeing it 43 times at the theatre. Wish it was still playing. Nothing beats seeing it on the big screen.
@@janicesmith1115 saw it 5 times in the theater. It definitely needs to be seen in the theater. I bought the DVD, but haven’t watched it because I realize it just won’t be the same on the small screen.
@@tlo3571 I ended up seeing it 43 times in the theatre. Couldn’t get enough. Absolutely loved it. Having withdraws. Have the dvd but it’s just not the same
You know Elvis did like rap music right? I recommend this movie. I was 10 yrs old when he passed away. Not a HUGE fan, but did like some of his songs. This movie however is a must see.
It's a fun one!
One of the years best movie top notch acting from Butler and Hanks award winning movie all around
Hahaha and you didn't like Black Phone?
Very fair review. I would have to agree with all of what you said. It wasn't what I expected. I think I expected a more along the lines of a Ray style movie.
Hope you liked it regardless though!
@@BrandoCritic I did. Was just expecting something different. I've never seen a Baz film before. Not knocking it, just different. It was definitely good for what it was.
You should watch Moulin Rouge
Really liked this movie.
Easily one of my favorite movies of the year.
Austin Butler was fantastic as Elvis Presley and im hoping that he gets Oscar-nomination from this movie.
Great review Brandon and take care and stay safe 👍.
I saw it again and still enjoyed it! Glad you did too!
@@BrandoCritic Awesome 👍.
This movie was a masterpiece every concert could've been the "finale concert" and you would still leave satisfied. BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR so far a 5/5 from me.
Glad you loved it!
This is the next film I'll watch on my day off Brandon! Thank you for a great review! I have not seen the other musical biopics that you mentioned but they're on my watchlist. However, I did see The Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey, La Bamba with Lou Diamond Philips and Selena with Jennifer Lopez.
I gotta see that Selena movie!
@@BrandoCritic Are you planning on doing a reaction to that one Brandon? That would be great! If you do, prepare some tissues! 😁
Maybe next Watch-Along??
@@BrandoCritic Absolutely Brandon!!! But don't forget THE OMEN (1976 version) and MALIGNANT too! And can the next watch along be on my days off which is Tuesdays and Wednesdays (that is Mondays and Tuesdays for you guys)? 😁
very good intro 😘
Thank you Moe!
Thank you for your review. I would see this film only because I love Tom Hanks🥰, btw nice singing voice👍,
Thank you honestly not my best performance
Amazing! Thank you for the review. I will see this with my girlfriend as soon as we can 👏
Hope you enjoy it!
We did get a bit of “Colonel Tom Parker’s” motivations in the movie. He had his own past demons that he was desperate to avoid coming out.
He came to the US illegally from the Netherlands and was stateless (not a citizen of any country). That’s why he was so bound and determined not to let Elvis tour internationally, because he himself wouldn’t be able to get back into the US, if he could even leave without a passport.
He was in the US military but went AWOL and was arrested. That’s why he was pressuring Elvis to go into the military, because he was worried that if Elvis became known as a “draft-dodger”, then his own military past would come to light.
Also, Colonel Tom had a mountain of gambling debts. That’s one of the reasons he leeched off of Elvis and made sure to get as much money for himself as he could, aside from just straight up greed. Notably that’s why he signed Elvis up for the residency in Vegas. That’s also why he was so determined to manipulate and control Elvis’ every move, because he was afraid of losing his meal ticket.
Another reason why he was so against Elvis touring internationally was because he might have discovered another manager who wouldn’t take as much advantage of him.
Colonel Tom’s motivations are there. They just don’t overstate them.
Thanks for the insight!
Loved the film Elvis!! Will see it again
Thanks Joan!
Watching the trailers, I’ve been worried that this would be another standard music biopic and I’m not a fan of Baz Luhrmann’s style. I do want to give this movie a chance hoping for a good film and the praise for Austin Butler’s performance. I do have a feeling his performance is going to get more people excited to see him in Dune Part Two next year to which I’m excited to see him in my most anticipated movie next year. Great review, Brandon!
Hope you love it
Watch this flick just alone for Austin Butler’s performance 🕺🕺🕺
And the style!
It's wonderful
Totally agree that I couldn’t buy into Hanks in this movie and that it’s extremely narratively lost. I personally think a more focused approach to Elvis’ relationship with Priscilla, his borderline civil rights work, his ‘68 comeback special, fighting to get out of Vegas residency (or rather the artistic control that allowed him), any of those would have worked better. Plus I left with a massive headache from this movie, so thanks Baz. Great honest and balanced review as always Brandon!!
Thanks Sasha! Always love your well-thought out comments! Your review is on my Watch Later so I will see it soon!
When I think about it, the frantic uncentered pace of this movie is maybe a reflection of the confused soul that Elvis really was. About who he was, why he was chosen, and what was his true purpose and place in the world. I think the man was full of contradiction and forever a man in search of himself. Who was he in his own mind? I think that changed a lot over the years, through triumph or defeat, and with addiction and sadness.
I think that's more of a coincidence than a solid choice made by the filmmakers
@@BrandoCritic Absolutely. I think so too. But I've been thinking about this movie for a few days. Maybe it fits. Certainly far from a perfect movie. But as an Elvis fan..... I was massively entertained and I could feel the care that was put into it. Script needed cleaning up and characters could have been developed more. But honestly that's all been done to death. They really went all in to bring the artist AND his art back to life in a way no other film has before. They made him bigger than life.... The way he was and the way fans want him remembered. I loved the film, flaws And all..... Kind of the way I still love Elvis and his music.
It was definitely a fun ride!
Todavia no llega a mexico, ya quiero verla
Hope you love it
Saw it in 8 different theaters and I absolutely loved it! THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!
Glad you loved it!
Austin looked as hot as Elvis did in that leather & he also nailed the If I Can Dream scene. I think Baz did an excellent job but it has to be long to cover the King's life & I think he very much covered that & the music alone makes it also. Yeah, Tom Hanks in a different role but he did it well & old makeup was convincing. Strange to see Tom looking SO old for a change.
Thanks for the insight Pike!
In my opinion Baz Luhrmann's Elvis (2022) deserves a grade of "love it".
Glad you loved i!
@@BrandoCritic thanks
Love that slicin sand rendition
Thank you!
I’m definitely seeing this in theaters
Do it!
That's what I was thinking "Style" Over "Substance" ..... I Love Baz Movies Especially "The Great Gatsby" .... Wow that's so disappointing We as huge fans have wanted a movie that would show Elvis's Charisma He had GREAT HUMOR The ones prior were so poorly made
Thanks for the insight!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, and Best Wishes. "ELVIS" is the type of biopic that tells you more about the director than its alleged subject. It's all flash and spectacle and quick cuts, and "the art of cinema"; designed to make you forget the director doesn't care very much about Elvis and the movie has little substance. Baz''s decision to tell the story exclusively from Parker's POV is its greatest and most glaring flaw. Underneath all that prosthetic make-up, Tom Hanks might as well be Freddy Krueger from "NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET" franchise. He's the boogyman who can't wait to devour Elvis alive and manipulate him and everyone in his life. Elvis is not portrayed as a person, but as a commodity to be consumed and used. This movie is just Elvis as a packaged and sold commodity. Is Austin Butler any good? Yes, in the rare moments when he's allowed to be Elvis and bring some depth; mostly in the latter half of the movie. But this Elvis isn't in the building; in fact, Elvis is barely in the movie. It's the Cliff's Notes version of Elvis. For a far superior biopic with a human perspective on Elvis and far better insights, see the 2006 TV biopic with the same title Starring Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.
Thanks for the insight buddy! And Thank you for the birthday wishes!
@@BrandoCritic : I hope you're feeling better. You seemed a bit ill in the last video I checked. Bad Luhrmann's movies are all visual frosting with little substance. In other words: Yummy frosting, but where is the cake?
Yeah I get that!
Biopics of icons, especially relatively recent pop culture, are usually a disaster because the person who plays the icon are never as talented, good looking, charismatic, whatever. I don’t care what tricks the director has up his sleeve, it’s just a letdown if you’ve seen the real thing. Like who would dare play Marilyn Monroe?? If you want to get the real Elvis experience just watch his 1968 television special. I’m not even a big Elvis fan, but I probably would have screamed hysterically like a schoolgirl and thrown my panties on stage if I had been in the audience and I’m a guy! 😂
Thanks for the insight!
LIFETIME Fan Of Elvis since I was 10 years old ..... haha I am old but yes 68 Comeback & His 70 Vegas performances OMG!!!! His Charisma His Humor!!! I grew up with My Dad constantly playing Elvis LP's / Records and my dad playing guitar & singing Elvis songs Just lost my dad last year to Covid.... Elvis music has helped me so much / Nostalgic with My Dad
I have no doubt that there were men in his audience enjoying the view. Hot is hot!
Just watch it it’s good kind of long a little spoiler they have some rap in the movie I’m 24 and still like why they have to throw that junk in that movie should have been all Elvis songs or songs from that era
I think it worked
You don't really see Elvis's end, They go from 68 straight to 73 or so and then him going into a plane and credits. The film was good but the film was all over the place. In my opinion it should have been a mini series. Season 1 would be Elvis 1950 to 1958, Season 2 would be 58 to 68, then last season 3 would be his declining years, 1973 to his eventual death. They focused too much on his career and not much of his actual life outside of the studio his struggles with addiction and trying to get multiple doctors to write scripts, his various relationships, his relationship with his father, so much of his life was missing from the film. Also the cast was god awful, his friends the memphis mafia was almost entirely gone. Good movie but so much of Elvis life wasn't included. Also his spiritual path with Larry Gellar his hair stylist who knew the real elvis that people didn't get to see behind closed doors.
Thanks for the insight
Is there a chilhood tragedy, drinking problem, issues with wife/girlfriend/boyfriend in this film?
Because if there is, I don't watch it. I'm tired of musical biopics reusing the same plot elements. Sometimes, it seems that all famous musician lived the same life, they keep making the same film over and over again from the same perspective. Even Marvel is better.
Honestly those elements are pretty subdued in this movie
I didn't see this at all......
Womanizing, prescription drug use, and divorce. The scenes are brief. The whole divorce is covered in about 5 minutes. If you blinked, you’ll miss the reference to womanizing. None of the aforementioned are the main focus of the film. They are just used to acknowledge the facts most people already know. The movie is about Elvis’s relationship with his manager and the effects on his career. This is definitely not a typical biopic.The energy in this movie makes Bohemian Rhapsody look like snooze fest.
I'm 72 so I know exactly what elvis was like. I've seen him in Vegas and I know what Austin did was spectacular. I give this a 10. It has made people happy. I to feel if you are under 40 you should not be reviewing this movie. Watch it, don't critique it... Elvis existed as the most famous man on the planet with no internet, no cell phones, no Instagram, etc. You can't appreciate elvis if yu are of the digital world only. Sorry.
Interesting. Well, if that's the case, why would I watch this movie when "You can't appreciate Elvis if "yu" are of the digital world only"? And if you wanted me to watch it and not critique it, then why did you click on a video titled, "ELVIS MOVIE REVIEW"... Sorry man
this movie is an load of utter garbage and is a hard watch even for me a lifelong elvis fan
Sorry you didn't like it Robbie!
Remixed Elvis music. Elvis original music is not good enough 😅.
Needs more bass for the younger crowd
