    Elvis is the King

    Let me start by saying that Elvis Presley is the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen. He had the talent and charisma the like of which we will never see again. In his personal life, he was a fun loving man who who was polite and generous to everyone he met. This film potrays Elvis as moody and angry, which is totally unfair and incorrect.

    The task of playing the role of Elvis is an impossible one, as no actor possesses the unique qualities that Elvis had in abundence. Maybe they played Elvis as this angry bitter man because they couldnt find someone to fill his shoes......again, totally unfair!! It seems like the casting criterea for the part of Elvis was to get someone with high cheek bones. If that was the mission, then congratulations!!!

    And just when you think, it cannot possibly get any worse, Rhys-Myers miming and dancing to 'If I can Dream', which is one of Elvis's most powerful songs, is just cringeworthy! However, this scene does however have one positive aspect. It shows that Elvis cannot be immitated.

    If you must watch this film, then please please look up Elvis singing 'If I can dream'. Either buy the 68 comeback special or go to you tube and watch it, then compare it to the stiff, ugly , no rythm version that you see played by Rhys-Myers. If the film ended with the REAL ELVIS, singing his song, just to show his magic, then it could have saved itself from being an embarrising mistake.

    A dissapointed Elvis fan.

    Long live the King!

    Craig is top of the pec-king order

    • 06 Sep 2009

    Bond star Daniel Craig has pecs appeal - he has topped a new poll to find Hollywood's hottest torsos. The scene in which the hunk emerged from the sea wearing only tight trunks in Casino Royale proved the biggest hit with women in a Lovefilm.com poll. Scottish tough-guy Gerard Butler was second for his ripped appearance in Spartan epic 300. In third place was Brad Pitt, who showed off his toned torso in Troy, while hairy comic Sacha Baron Cohen's green 'mankini' scene in Borat was voted into... Read more
