FIRST TIME WATCHING *Elvis* (2022) Movie Reaction!

[@nicolasbaron4506]

My sister is in love with this movie as she's a big Elvis fan. It's crazy how Austin Butler prepared for this role. He put his entire heart and soul to play the king of rock n' roll and he did it extraordinary well. Hell, he even ended up in the hospital the day after filming ended. Elvis is my third favorite movie of the year, behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Top Gun: Maverick.

[@helenpilch2633]

Your Third Fav?

[@wandaclark5020]

I loved this movie.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Most of his career, Tom plays sympathetic characters. Have you seen Road to Perdition? He literally plays a mob enforcer and you still root for him. However, in this movie, he actually did what is arguably the rarest thing he's ever done in his career: he convinces the audience to hate his character. That's kind of impressive. Proof that Tom is good not only at playing nice guys.

[@hakarusuo]

There were moments on the movie that I forgot it was Tom and was hating so much that guy

[@SuperMonkeeGirl]

People hate the idea of Hanks in this role and I completely loved it. Why? Because Hanks is always a good guy and is likeable. You trust him. So when you see him play Parker; there's a part of you who WANTS to trust him and you can see why Elvis does. He never tells Elvis was to do (at least until the end with the debt). He manipulates Elvis to feel like HE is coming up with these ideas. The way the Vegas conversation goes blows my mind and I don't think those scenes would be completely successful with someone other than Hanks. It was a perfect portrayal.

[@victoriajohn7079]

Yep this is the first character he’s ever played that I hate. I completely forgot it was Tom playing him.

I'm not even a big Elvis fan and yet, this movie is dazzlingly epic and tragically heartbreaking, and like the King himself, completely unforgettable. The ending of it just broke me. Unlike Elton John, who cleaned up and made an uplifting musical comeback at the end of Rocketman, Elvis Presley just wasn't able to get out from under that greedy, manipulative, and despicable Colonel, and as in real life, died long before he should have in 1977. Elvis has left the building.

The biggest reason the movie didn't touch more on Elvis's infidelity and relationships like with Linda Thompson and Ann-Margaret was because it might have lost focus on the core of the film which was the relationship with him and the colonel. They also sacrificed moments like the msg performances for that.

Elvis was exceptionally generous. He bought hundreds of cars for people who needed cars. the cook from Graceland was on David Letterman and he asked if Elvis bought her anything and she said, "first he told me I would have a job there as long as I wanted one and she was there for decades after he died. He bought her a huge ring." David asked if he bought her a cadillac and she said, "the first one was a Ford, but all of the others were cadillacs."

[@agenttheater5]

@@huntermiller9330 whoops, my mistake. Thanks :)

[@SuperMonkeeGirl]

It really is a great job. I wish the marketing was clearer on who was singing what. using the words like 'mixed' and 'blended' is causing people to think Austin is singing the '68 and later songs and I don't think that's the case. He is singing the a cappella stuff in the later years but you can tell when it's Elvis. You can't mimic those tracks like 'If I can Dream' no matter how good of an actor you are. But the transitions were really good.

[@monikakoch6309]

The older songs where Mono, that‘s the reason to recorded the old songs new, They couldn’t take Mono songs into the movie. So Austin was singing this songs. He did it well. If I can dream and Unchained Melody are a challenge for any good singer. But nobody can sing this songs like Elvis. His voice got better and better as he got older. He was an unique singer. Austin couldn't have kept up. The original recordings of Elvis make the film special. The ending with Unchained Melody brought tears to many. Putting the real Elvis in the middle of the song was incredibly clever, it blew me away.

[@SuperMonkeeGirl]

@@monikakoch6309 It was definitely the correct choice to let Austin handle those younger songs. The 2005 mini series, I believe, uses the original recordings and you can tell they are not up to par for what they were doing. The 'live' songs still sounded like old distant recordings. Nothing that could be done by it but I am glad the new movie felt more natural and real.

Every time someone makes a snide comment that he 'doesn't look like Elvis' I point them to the 'suspicious minds', 'Berle Hound Dog' or 'If I can Dream' side by side. What he lacks in physical closeness he makes up for in energy, dedication, movement, and heart of Elvis. He WAS Elvis for those 2.45 hours.

I've been waiting for the reactions. I guess now it's on HBO and once it comes to DVD on 9/13 we will be seeing more. My only disappointing for 'Movies in Depth' is he didn't get the chance to see this film on the big screen because it was worth it. The film is made for the theatrical experience. I'd say now that he has reviewed it; if the film is still in a theater near him, go check it out. A 2nd viewing is also needed for this film so why not seeing it the way it was designed to be seen. But I am so happy to finally see a movie review instead of a trailer review.

I really love these musical story movies they've been making these past couple of years. First, there was Queen that told the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen.

[@TheRequiemOfficialReal]

Great film, the full Baz cut is 4h11m long. Austin had 3 months of preparation to walk, talk, sing and dance like Elvis. So most of the in film "live performances" were sang by Austin with real musicians that we trained with during pre-production. This is an Oscar worthy film and might be a big winner due to the possible of many nominations like best actor, best supporting actor, best production designer, costume designer, best film, best director and film of the year. It's a well received film, like Bohemian Rhapsody..., it's not a movie, it's an experience and educate this youth of our decades of pop culture but our music history. I was a year old when Elvis passed away, my late mother (RIP) was a long time fan and she would have loved this movie.

I would like to give mention to Austin Butler. I have been a fan since I first saw him in 2005-06. He has improved so much and gave this his all. Its incredible to see him go from an extra in the back on a kids show to play THE Elvis. I give him major props to even sacrificing his own identity to perform Elvis with the upmost respect, its incredible. I hope he earns an oscar nomination and even a win. I also want to give props to Tom Hanks because he is known as an “American treasure”. But to act a conman and make me actually hate him then I believe Tom did a great job. It shows he can play a hero but also a bad man.

15:43 I think that was supposed to be Revered W. Herbert Brewster. Elvis used to sing with the choir in his church when his family moved to the government housing project in Memphis. Saw a snippet of him being interviewed about the teenage Elvis, said his voice 'only needed tuning' and that 'he was a bundle of energy set to music'. The reverend wrote several songs as well, one of which I'm sure was 'Old Landmark' that we see/hear James Brown performing in the first Blues Brothers movie (annoyingly is not in the soundtrack but it's a performance you have to watch rather than listen to).

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

Watching this movie in the theater I totally lost the thought it was Austin Butler, instead seeing only Elvis after a short time. I thought Rami Malek deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury and now I strongly feel Austin Butler definitely deserves the Oscar for his portrayal of Elvis because he truly transformed into Elvis. And yes, 'Col Tom Parker' (wasn't any of those titles/names) was a true greedy POS. This is most definitely my favorite Elvis movie of all time due to the hard prep work of Austin Butler.

So, all the singing before the '68 Comeback Special is 100% Austin Butler. From that special onwards, it's the real Elvis Presley with Austin's voice mixed in to a certain degree.

I just discovered this video and your channel and I've got to say, the editing style is awesome and you're freaking hilarious! I love this movie and haven't been looking through the reactions people have been posting and you're definitely my favorite! You've earned yourself a sub!

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank you so much!!

2:30 I didn't get it either but the whole thing about snowmen is that they're conmen - snow equals blizzard equals being unable to see (I think that's the logic behind the other term 'snow')

[@evalee9385]

flashed back to me: something on wall like "League of Snowmen" in Colonel's room...

I’m from Memphis,my grandfather was taught Karate by the same guy as Elves Master Kang Rhee.

The most interesting and entertaining review of the movie I’ve seen. I love this movie. I know some people feel that important items were left out but he had to limit the length AND the focus was on the relationship between EP and no colonel, no Tom, no Parker. It was exceptional acting.

[@vibeatles]

I saw the movie 13 times in the theater. Never happened to me before as long I can remember. I just bought the DVD and the soundtrack. Absolutely love it! And love Baz movies, specially Moulin Rouge. And this movie Elvis is one if his masterpiece. Oscars for Austin and the movie. His almost three years of preparation for the movie really paid off. The Colonel only saw Elvis as a negotiation 🥹😔😡. Love every detail of your review. 😉.

He sings everything before he goes into the military and then it is a mixture in some of the rest, according to Baz. Austin had never sang to anyone before, but he does play the guitar and piano.

[@mbrights3158]

Fyi, If I Can Dream with Elvis in white suit, it is Elvis'.... whereas when Austin is laying down singing a few lines of that song, it is Austin. And it is 100% Elvis in Vegas, and Unchained Melody at the end.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

@@mbrights3158 Where the stems were used in Vegas is done very well and Wheeler the guy who cut it says that Austin matched the actual footage so well it is difficult to tell where the stems happen.

[@ats5179]

25:34 Elvis always treated girls good and cared for them as his own children.

[@ellenwendt]

And we were made to believe that Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump introduced Elvis to his dance moves 🤣

[@MoviesinDepth]

RIGHT

[@DarahThunder33]

That moment at the end is actually Austin in a Fat Suit, they didn't show the real footage. My mom and I thought the same thing when we saw it in theaters and then when I got home I did some research and Austin actually put on a fat suit and the outfit for that final song.

[@alexrossi4110]

So to answer your question earlier in the video, Austin does sing as 50’s Elvis. Anything after the 50’s is a mixture of Austin and Elvis’s voice.

[@mbrights3158]

Fyi, it was Elvis from the 68 Special and afterward. By a "mix".. it means there are a few exceptions, for example: If I Can Dream with Elvis in white suit, it is Elvis'.... whereas when Austin is laying down singing a few lines of that song, it is Austin. And it is 100% Elvis in Vegas, and Unchained Melody at the end.

[@tonib9416]

The younger Elvis songs are sung by Austin Butler. Older ones are Elvis, I believe.

[@mbrights3158]

Yes...absolutely. People are confused. It was Elvis from the 68 Special and afterward. By a "mix".. it means there are a few exceptions, for example: If I Can Dream with Elvis in white suit, it is Elvis'.... whereas when Austin is laying down singing a few lines of that song, it is Austin. And it is 100% Elvis in Vegas, and Unchained Melody at the end. Best~ ;)

[@larasemerad2605]

The guy sounds and looks Colburn talk show-I like this guy and he is fun.

[@kathleenromani9429]

aye your intros are always the best!! I still haven't seen the movie yet lol I'll come back when I do!

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank you so much!!!

[@mbrights3158]

Austin is singing the young Elvis. Elvis is singing from the 68 Special on.

[@mbrights3158]

There are minor exceptions... such as If I Can Dream with Elvis in white suit, it is Elvis'.... whereas when Austin is laying down singing a few lines of that song, it is Austin. And it is 100% Elvis in Vegas, and Unchained Melody at the end.

[@jagerbradley]

The editing in this reaction video is more frantic than the movie's itself 💀
