Movie Reviews

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussThe film was somewhat radically reworked for a TCM special edition; the original is like an old-school monster movie that teases the audience before finally giving fans the spectacle they crave -- Elvis, tearing down the house in all his jumpsuited glory.
Parallax View - 6/10 by Sean Axmaker... chronicles his phoenix-like rebirth as a Vegas showman as a concert rockumentary interspersed with interviews, backstage material, and a wealth of footage featuring the King in rehearsal.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul Cone of the best concert footage that you can get on dvd
User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan BA fantastic documentary about the King on stage! This was the best time in his life. He never looked or sounded better!!! A lot of great music came from the year this took place. It showcases why Elvis will forever be the King of Rock N' Roll! Long live the king!
User Review - 10/10 by Paul Rwatching elvis' lunges and ham stretches during suspicious minds is the only time I've found myself questioning my heterosexuality. when I say only time, I mean only time EACH time I re-watch that clip. truth be told I am a little gay for mr. p
User Review - 10/10 by John OThe vhs Warner Bros. Special Edition has a cover far better than what it is shown at left. The whole point of Thats the Way it Is was to show Elvis getting ready for shows, the rehearsals, the fun time he had backstage. He was such a cut-up, a guy willing to fall backwards off his stool to get a laugh. Unpretentious, sharp, witty and always in control, Elvis shown here is just that, an up close look behind the scenes. This is Elvis as he was off stage and on, at least as much as could be told. The bodyguards, the band, the adoring love sick fans... there all here in glorious color and stereophonic Dolby surround sound. Metro Goldwyn Mayer presents Elvis: Thats the Way it Is. And boy, what a wild ride into the King's world it is. Running time 95 minutes plus 11 extra minutes. Included in the vhs version special edition is an interesting restoration documentary detailing the effort put into restoring the original film. Titled "Patch it Up: The Restoration of Elvis: Thats the Way it Is. As a fyi, the phrase: "that's the way it is" was an slang phrase meaning the unvarnished truth, or you're seeing the reality not some fake presentation. Outstanding in every way, a peek into the world of Elvis working and playing before the show. And some of the show as well. Well worth any fan's trouble to find and buy.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris CHe looked like a million bucks, sounded like a million bucks and blew the roof off Las Vegas. Long live the KING!
User Review - 10/10 by Sean Gwhat a performer!!!! you cant see shows like this anymore
User Review - 10/10 by Nik BMy favorite Elvis movie,after years of the MGM "location" movies(the King was a great actor but thru the 60's he kept getting scripts that were essentially the same except where they were filmed)Presley was tired of the film industry.After the success of the 68 comeback special Elvis decides to go back on the road and perform for the fans.This film is a documentary chronicling his 69 show at the international hotel in Las Vegas. The rehearsal footage from the MGM lot is great,showcasing Elvis's humor,dedication,and good nature.Many sequences of the film feature interviews with fans and staff from the International,but the heart of the movie is the concert.Elvis shines on stage and is at the peak of his career,it's one dynamic performance after another as the king belts out tunes and drives the women wild(during love me tender he is mobbed by ladies wanting a kiss from the king). A wonderful film essential to any fan of Elvis Presley,that showcases his talent,dedication to his fans,and ultimately his humanity.
User Review - 10/10 by Carolyn GProbably my favorite Elvis concert/documentary film of all time.
