Not the best Elvis movies.

These are not some of Elvis's better movies, but I like the
look and feel of most shows done in the 60s. The way
people dress and do their hair is very appealing to me.
if you are looking for good Elvis movies you should pass
these up, but if you enjoy the early 60s look and feel
check them out.

It's popular because it's Elvis, but as a movie it plods along endlessly. The plot line is boring and incoherent, the characters are mostly annoying, and by the end of the movie I was merely glad it was over!

Good actors, the plot not so enticing. Too scrambled and too demeaning to all: wife, husband, father, and the player-woman ( I adore Cameron Diaz' smile). All in all, a pretty limp story with actors making great effort to put some glamour into it. Not a "must watch again" flick.

I felt that King Kong did not live up to Peter Jackson's previous works, Creatures, Frighteners, LOTR, and was at times filled with too long of V Rex fight scenes as well as death and looking scenes. The pacing was slow after the first hour and it became less interesting until the end of the film. Although the energy of the first hour was building it up, it failed to deliver what was promised from the strength of the opening of the film. It would be a good film to sit at home with on a rainy day when you have a lot of free time that you don't know what to do with, but it is very different than what he has done before.

There are many better family movies. "Camera Angles" and attire are done on purpose i think. Story line very very predictable.

I am not familiar with all of Elvis movies of the past, and none of these three movies were as good as Blue Hawaii.  They were fine for the money, but I would have liked to be able to tell the popularity of his movies some how before I bought them, maybe their commercial box office success from long ago?  The purchase was just fine, but not great.

This was not the worst movie I have ever seen by any stretch of the imagination. The acting is a bit wooden, the story is a bit thin, and the set is less than stellar. It did however have me watching even though I knew exactly what was going to happen. And the ending was way to abrupt for my taste.

I didn't have time to even get to know the characters before they started dying.

Because of the names in this movie I thought it would be much better than it actually was. It wasn't a bad story line, just really long and dragged out.

It was just okay in my opinion.  I appreciate that it was based on a true story and the acting was top notch, but I found parts of the movie to be pretty boring.

This was the typical movie where they give you despicable villains and then kill them off in what they hope will be a gratifying way. This formula works for so many people, most of the time. However, this movie didn't really work too hard to be realistic. It was actually more "campy" with bodies exploding like they were sacks of ketchup. That kept it from being too offensive, however it wasn't that great a story either.

I was moderately entertained hen I wasn't cringing, but I felt the customer reviews built it up too much, and as a result it didn't meet expectations. If you LOVE the actors, or Quentin Tarantino, you will like it. I doubt you will love it though.

The movie lacked the entertainment but the music is ok...but not the best.

This movie moves a little slow, there's not much depth to the characters, and at the end they show the pictures of the actual criminals.  That's just not right, gives them too much attention.

I was a little disappointed, some good and some not so good, still worth watching. Some of the movies were fairly old.

It's something to watch, but not a good movie.

It was okay. Battle scenes could have been better. Didn't like the ending. Russell played an old man with not much on the ball. It's a movie you only need to watch once and won't be talking about around the water cooler.

Not one of Elvis' better soundtracks, but fun to hear him working out the songs take by take in the recording studio.

Released in 1963, Fun in Acapulco stars Elvis Presley as a lifeguard/singer at a ritzy Mexican resort who stirs the interest of two women and rivalry of a Mexican diver. As with most of Elvis movies, he sings a song every 7-12 minutes.

While the story takes place in Acapulco and a lot of scenes were shot at a resort there, Elvis never set foot in Mexico during filming, presumably due to his busy schedule. This becomes clear as you watch the movie: Several cast members clearly shot some scenes at the actual resort (Ursula Andress, Elsa C&aacute;rdenas and Alejandro Rey), but whenever interaction with Elvis is required, out comes the rear-projection. Some good examples include Presleys bike ride with the Mexican kid, Elvis & Ursula along the street and every shot with Elvis and another character sitting or standing near a wall overlooking the ocean. The film is such a lark and rear-projection was so prevalent back then that the movie works in spite of this, but it was definitely noticeable and therefore excessive.

As far as the women go, forget Marguerita (Andress) and Delores (C&aacute;rdenas) (as fine as they are), I'll take Janie (Teri Hope), the petite blond on the boat at the beginning. She had the requisite curves.

The film runs 97 minutes.
