Elvis by the Presleys Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Bob 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.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Rindiana Whoever thinks this is going to be another one of those glorifying star docs is just partially right.Yes, many episodes in this mammoth four hour family album are devoted to what a wonderful guy the King had been - and thus leave an aftertaste of triviality behind, but fortunately there are enough interesting aspects about Elvis's moody and egocentric personality, about his shifts in temper, about the dark side of showbiz, about his decline in mental and conditional health to merit an above average standard.It's all presented in the usual soft-focus manner of television biographies. But the content is okay, though too long-winded.6 out of 10 glitzy overalls
number72ocfan I am a dedicated Elvis fan. I think a lot of the guy. After watching this I was kinda of left bewildered by Priscilla's intentions of participating in it. If anybody remembers her autobiography titled Elvis and Me. It was also a T.V. movie. She painted a very dark picture of her involvement with Elvis. Making him out to be a drug addict, womanizer, and a terrible husband. She says in the opening of Elvis by the Presley's "We had to be very careful in telling Elvis's personal life." Priscilla What exactly did you have to be careful about? You completely trashed Elvis out in your book and T.V. Movie. What further damage could you do to him? You have a daughter by this guy. What does she think when you say bad things about him? Elvis made mistakes like every other person on this earth and you make out like you never did a single thing wrong. Elvis isn't here to defend himself. Who knows what he could have told on you. Priscilla is a little easier on Elvis in this one. Elvis's cousin Patsy appears and you can really tell she truly cared about Elvis. Jerry Schilling appears also and he talks really good of Elvis. Priscilla is a Presley by name only. She divorced Elvis. It is obvious that she is capitalizing on his name. I mean she wants to keep his name so bad that she has a kid and won't even marry the kid's father. She even produces projects about Elvis for what reasons do you think? I have always believed it is wrong to talk about the dead. She says in this feature that 42 was such a young age to die at. She needs to sit back and think that Elvis lost almost half of his life span. That is really sad in itself. Why talk bad about someone who died so young. Haven't they already paid enough. Priscilla really needs to make up her mind whether Elvis was good or bad. In this one she makes him out to be quite a whole lot better guy. I enjoyed watching it. It was very good. I wish Priscilla would stay out of further Elvis projects because she doesn't make any sense. He's good one minute then he's bad the next. Lisa Marie should be the one who handles her fathers affairs. She stays with a consistent story about her father. I recommend this to all fans. It has home movies that I haven't seen before and pictures to. Just try to ignore Priscilla and her parents. My personal opinion they aren't telling the whole truth. Especially in the part where she brings up if her father pushed Elvis to marry her. I think he did. Too many people have said Elvis told them that. I think Elvis realized if he didn't that a scandal could arise and affect not only his career but his life in general.
puddtoot A touching story of Elvis'early life, and decline, as told by Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley. Also includes Elvis'cousin Patsy, and Former "Memphis Mafia" member, Jerry Schilling. Priscilla's parents are also shown talking about Elvis. Talks about Elvis the superstar, Elvis the husband and father, through home movie clips, and concert clips. Elvis is heard preforming such songs as "Seperate Ways, Hawaian wedding song, and others. Some of the home movie clips have never been seen before, and this includes clips of Elvis and Priscilla as a couple, and clips of Lisa, as a child. The show shows more of Elvis' good side, more of what has not been written about him. Such as: He was a doting father, who loved his family very much. It also shows Elvis' fragility, that which may have led to his down fall. All in all, it promotes more time to Elvis the human being, more than Elvis the superstar. After all, Elvis was human too...
sbeban60 28 years, well almost, he has been gone. This special delivered a great in site to a man many under 35 only know in song and those B-Movie re-runs on mid day and late night TV. A good documentary on this famous man with many glimpses into his personal life that a lot of people probably never knew. It was a worth while effort on the part of his family to make this movie and is well worth a look see by those who missed it when it shows again on TV.It was put together with a lot of style, integrating some of the themes of his songs with pictures and home/new video clips of his life. Also a good sprinkling of never before seen (or heard) moments of both Elvis and Percilla's personal family life and the professional life of the "King of Rock and Roll".
