No point to this other than to rehash that Elvis chose to take a lot of drugs and died young-ish. The few men who are interviewed were apparent friends or musicians who supported him and blame others for Elvis' life choices.

It's a very pro-Elvis short "documentary," but honestly doesn't paint him in a very good light. Why would someone make something in 2025 to remind us that he wasn't a good actor, wasn't a good husband, made poor life decisions, frequently yelled at his underlings, and ultimately seemed to give up, performed poorly at concerts, and then, inexplicably, tell us he was a staunch Christian who died while reading a bible?

This did not need to be made. There are MUCH better documentaries about the life of this complex person. This, however, is a complete waste of time.

I am a big Elvis fan, but acknowledge his flaws, so I'm not writing this from the perspective of a disgruntled fan.

That said, this documentary is just poorly done. In the first few minutes of the documentary, there are several inaccuracies with dates, songs/albums, his timeline and career, etc. (For example, it states that Elvis met Larry Geller in 1954, almost two decades from the truth). The narration seems like it was done with AI, and all of the footage is reused from previous interviews with the Memphis Mafia, over 30+ years old. There are no great revelations.

The King deserves better.
