Hi from Europe,

First of all the movie is entertaining enough. It's only a few steps away from being a musical. But luckily we get 40% real time dialogue or maybe a bit less, but ok, hey it's Elvis.

If you expect a movie about the life of Elvis off stage too, you'll be disappointed. It's all about the performances. There's no private life with his wife, Sun, friends or groupies featured, it's all just a bit of back noise. His years and habits at Graceland are not even touched.

So don't expect too much, just enjoy. This movie was supposed to see Elvis through the eyes of The Colonel. But even that was weak, Tom Hanks is just a cardboard figure. It's more about Elvis trying standing up against him.

Anyway, a nice semi fictional picture of Elvis intertwined with the politics of the 50's and 60's and his twisted relation with his manager.

But in the end, I'm still waiting for a more realistic biography. I'll stick to the documentaries, not grounbreaking here to find. Just have fun with the music.

Hi from Europe I was in my early 20's when my wife and I rented the original series, and I felt a bit rushed, the series could be nervous at some times, but still liked it.

And just like that so many years later my wife and I binged the first 9 episodes. Because of the low ratings I was stacking episodes instead of watching them.

Well, the word woke has been used by several critics in the most negative way. But that's just crap. The writers have their finger on the pulse of society. I'm younger than the cast but if you keep an open mind getting older this series may enlighten you a bit. If you're rusty and old fashioned, hello!!! We don't live in the 90's anymore.

It's still a good dramady and if you can't stand things like non binary sexual oriantation, lesbian experiment, LTGB etc and sex problems above 55 years old then this series can be confronting sometimes.

When I binge a series it deserves at least a solid 8, could grow into a 9 if they keep the balance between comedy and light drama.

Hello from Europe.

I don't get the high rating for this movie. This ain't a ghostbuster comedy movie. It's weakly based on the first one from the 80's as far as it goes for the ghosts. One can even argue it was a lazy thing to do.

As for the story, it's weak, humorless, borderline boring.

The set is now in a small town with only a few actors in clothing and with hairstyles that should remind you of the 80's but in the end it's dusty and ugly.

It's just a cheap movie to milk the cow one last time.
