Watch Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii For Free

Expected more

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I love this concert.Even though I find it does not have the energy of the 'That's the way it is' concerts it is so well filmed and the King looks great! His voice is also on great form which I appreciate more if I listen to the album and compare it to other Elvis concert albums.Truly a groundbreaking concert with the satellite live broadcast and not to mention the 8 track cartridge album that I would love to get my hands on one day :-). I wish I could have been old enough to see the live broadcast but I was only 2 at the time.All in all I can watch this concert time and time again.

This was a fantastic concert of Elvis. when i first saw this i was electrified it was amazing i was witnessing the king at his very best. he was giving fantastic performances of country,rock,blues,love etc.. to a world wide audience of over a billion people via satellite the first of its kind. He looked fantastic,he sounded fantastic,he treated us with something that no other singer could. If any one was in doubt about Elvis or needed answers to questions about his talent or the man him self they got their answer here. i loved this concert and never ever saw another one like it. i watch it from start to finish every time. all in all this is a terrific DVD of the king i give it a deserved 10/10!

Elvis' peak was the '68 comeback special and the Memphis sessions that followed in January and February 1969. It's hard to believe this event was only four years after those vibrant performances. "Suspicious Minds", the only song from the Memphis sessions performed in this movie, lacks passion. He's already becoming the caricature we're so familiar with. It's apparent Col. Parker's comfortably back in the driver's seat on a sad downward spiral. The fact that Elvis never toured outside the US has more to do with the success of this event than the performance itself. Don't get me wrong, he's in excellent voice and the backing ensemble is great. It's just disappointing. The footage of the crowd when the camera pans around the auditorium speaks volumes. The only animated audience members are the women close to the stage getting kisses or sweaty scarves. And what's with Charlie the designated guitar/scarf guy? Can't the man pick up his own accessories? The direction is pretty hackneyed as well, with clumsy quick cuts on the downbeat during several songs and goofy split screen set pieces during slower numbers.Do yourself a favor. See "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" from 1970 or "Elvis On Tour" from '72 instead.

Elvis performances 30 odd songs to a capacity crowd at a charity concert in Hawaii. He performs his own songs and several good covers. The concert was broadcast worldwide at the time (1973).I'm not a big Elvis fan and I only really like him in his early days when he was younger and fitter. This concert finds him still very much a good performer but he is in his white jumpsuit, rhinestone covered, sideburn sporting Vegas period. For much of the show he sounds great but he is starting to get a bit heavy and he sweats very heavily from early on.This isn't a major complaint because the music is mostly very good and Elvis still `had it', if you knw what I mean. The majority of the film is the concert itself – it's shot in split screen at times (who said 24 was innovative!) and is quite tacky in terms of lights etc but the music holds it all together.The main criticism is that all the split screen shots of Hawaii are very plastic and look like a travel agency has put it together. It detracts from the music when it's on but happily it's limited to the start and end of the film.Overall if you hate Elvis then you'll not enjoy this and if you hate his Vegas period then you may struggle with this show. However the music is very good and Elvis himself still looks OK if not as good a showman as he was. Ignore the tourist bits and enjoy the songs of a legend.
