Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Watch out for copies!
This is one of my favorite Elvis bios. Like other reviewers, I also bought this from Amazon (many years ago) and got a "copy". I was surprised to find that apparently someone is still out there making and selling copies! So be careful when purchasing, especially at these prices!
Despite how bad the video "copy" was the music and Kirk Russell's performance were outstanding; he must have studied Elvis in depth to make him so believable in this movie and the talented voice cover was so good, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - See it for Kurt's performance
Kurt Russell has the moves, absolutely, and in every way. He captures the lively and unique, but odd and awkward, moves of a young Elvis as well as the great excitement, expressions, humor, and far more controlled moves of the mature Elvis' Vegas phase. Really an amazing performance by Kurt. The rest of the movie is OK and it's great to see Charlie Hodge as himself doing his always supportive stuff for Elvis. But Russell is just totally superb when doing Elvis performing and this is not to be missed. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Thumbs up movie
This it a good movie, Kurt Russell does a fantastic job playing the king.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - simply the best!
this was the first and, by far, the best of all elvis portrayals! conceived prior to elvis' death and delivered by an actor who brought absolute credence to the role, having co-starred w/elvis, himself, when still a child actor. kurt russell captured elvis like no other actor ever has, in looks, stage moves, voice, etc. he's outshone all subsequent portrayals by don johnson, dale midkiff(ugh!), jonathan rhy-meyers, and the short-lived series, and single-handedly carries this movie to surreal heights, ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kurt Russell at his best
This is the best movie about Elvis I have ever seen. Kurt Russell is so believable as Elvis and Shelley Winters as Gladys is perfection. Kurt's real father plays Vernon Presley and his first wife, Season Hubley plays Priscilla. This movie needs to be put on DVD as soon as possible. I have been wanting this movie ever since it came out.
