Absolutely Brilliant!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

When I hear "Elvis", Aloha from Hawaii is the first thing that comes to mind.I have this show on VHS, laser disc and multiple editions on DVD,as well as the audio on LP and CD.Arguably Elvis on Stage in Memphis captured a better live performance, Aloha is spectacular to watch.

This is it, folks. This is the greatest concert of all time. To me it's to see the light.Elvis Presley looks more handsome than ever in the film. He sings better than ever, but doesn't do so much rock 'n' roll than he made in the '68 Comeback Special (original name "Elvis"). There he was king of rock 'n' roll, in Aloha from Hawaii he is King of Music.Special Edition and Deluxe Edition DVD's includes the new edition which is much better than the original US version, which was aired later than the live concert to Asia, Europe and other areas.10/10

Elvis' peak was the '68 comeback special and the Memphis sessions that followed in January and February 1969. It's hard to believe this event was only four years after those vibrant performances. "Suspicious Minds", the only song from the Memphis sessions performed in this movie, lacks passion. He's already becoming the caricature we're so familiar with. It's apparent Col. Parker's comfortably back in the driver's seat on a sad downward spiral. The fact that Elvis never toured outside the US has more to do with the success of this event than the performance itself. Don't get me wrong, he's in excellent voice and the backing ensemble is great. It's just disappointing. The footage of the crowd when the camera pans around the auditorium speaks volumes. The only animated audience members are the women close to the stage getting kisses or sweaty scarves. And what's with Charlie the designated guitar/scarf guy? Can't the man pick up his own accessories? The direction is pretty hackneyed as well, with clumsy quick cuts on the downbeat during several songs and goofy split screen set pieces during slower numbers.Do yourself a favor. See "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" from 1970 or "Elvis On Tour" from '72 instead.
