What the...? Why would they...?
marks66210 August 2019
Why does it say "Biography, Drama" for genres here?? Seems more like a comedy. And it's definitely not a biography. It's more of a fantasy (at least the last part). And the acting is atrocious. Enough said.

It's Not Terrible.

Considering it's by the Asylum, after watching it for the second time it's actually pretty enjoyable. Nation's a pretty good 70s Elvis and the other actors... can act decently. Excluding that Mia girl, she's an awful character.

if your a big fan of Elvis, avoid this movie at all costs.

Warning: Spoilers
So i stumbled on this movie from a commercial on AXSTv and it looked pretty cool from the commercial. The story seemed very cool, the characters had a somewhat unique personality and the music was good. But, come the movie premiere, it was nothing like the commercial. the story was like a real stupid and cheesy version of Law and Order mixed with The X Files. the characters were also really stupid i mean the Elvis in the movie looked NOTHING like the original Elvis, HE Didn't EVEN CHANGE HIS OUTFIT! even the marriage proposal in the movie was trash. who proposes in bed before you go to sleep? that is just awkward and a sign that the so called "Elvis" was drunk. But seriously, if you are a fan of Elvis like me and my family is, i advise you to avoid this movie at all costs. it is just trashy and just a movie about the theory that Elvis is still alive. just don't watch it.

Voice Never Failed
utubes4 March 2020
The IMDB description that Elvis' was faced with his voice failing is wrong. His voice never failed him. He may have forgot the lyrics during some of his concerts, but his voice was always great. I give this movie 2 stars just because it's about Elvis. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be fiction of not. I never heard about the paranoid Elvis that wanted to off one of his confidants. I understand why Elvis took pharmaceuticals since the world pretty much made him a god, and how would anyone handle that situation? Imagine the mind boggling pressure it would have been being Elvis. The drugs were his way to cope. I just don't know what someone around him could have talked to him and set him straight with the drugs. Elvis didn't regard his pharmaceuticals as same as drug abuse because his medication was prescribed by his doctor, so to him, he was legitimately using them. In that era, everyone was using those drugs. Probably no one will ever know what it was like to be at that level of fame and adoration.

So bad; it's not even just a train wreck
Ditzy-Gypsy7 April 2021
Unlike a train wreck, you CAN tear your eyes away. The acting and casting is horrible. Why would someone spend money and time making this? They must have money to burn. So bad. Do not watch.

darill-2802722 March 2021
Worst crappy movie I've ever seen made. I am huge fan of Elvis but this movie is like a joke making fun of Elvis and I don't like it one bit at all! It's disgusting! The director of this film needs find another hobby!

Elvis, Pelvis, Pudding and Pie!
dauthier28 July 2019
I liked it. It's bright, fun and interesting. It may be the cocktail of prescription drugs talking here, but I had a lot of fun watching.

The problem with making movies about Elvis is that nobody looks like Elvis. Nobody. Maybe if Johnny Depp would've considered it a decade ago. Anyway...

It's a fun what-if scenario. I'd recommend it to fans of Elvis who didn't care much for the rhinestone jumpsuit, bloated, gospel, drugged era and would like to see an interesting fantasy about what could have been in the last few years of his life.

It's a light movie in a way, but it doesn't avoid the darker subjects. The low rating people must have expected an honest biopic. Impossible.

Take care of business then watch this movie.

Long live the king.
garyoa113 August 2020
Quite a mix of comedy, drama, fact, fiction. Dumb, brilliant and everything in between.. Was it possible? Was it impossible? Little bit of everything but quite enjoyable. The king is dead, but long live the king! Asylum movies may be bizarre,.but they certainly are entertaining.
