So my fiance wants to see this movie cause she is a big Elvis fan but is it even Elvis or is it an "Elvis-type" character? Also ive been seeing some stuff about this movie having a Christian message more then anything. I don't want to sit through this if it has some kind of religious propaganda message.
I wish these movies were required to identify themselves.
That, and if they want to preach at people, they should pay the people to come see them. Tricking money out of people paying for entertainment when all you really want to do is proselytize is skeevy.
Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.
Socialism and Christianity have nothing to do with the other.
Nonsense. There are many similarities between the two. In America Christianity may appear to be the preserve of the right-wing but elsewhere it appeals to a much broader base. One of Britain's most respected politicians, the recently deceased Tony Benn was both a committed socialist and a Christian. The problem with America is that it politicises religion so that only a "certain type" of person is supposed to be Christian.

liberal millionaire socialist? I know it's hard to think and articulate and it's easier just to lump together a bunch of random conservative buzz words, but seriously sir, it makes you sound like a complete imbecile.
Then they edited it, and added stuff not even in the Bible, and released it theatrically to have the same people who basically watched it for 'free' on cable to then pay for it afterward in theaters.
The filmmakers say that it's not about Elvis, but I'm pretty sure that is so they don't have to pay Elvis' estate anything. Looks just like Elvis, sings like him, he had a twin brother (ok in real life Aron died). It doesn't really have a Christian message. The main character in the movie-his dad is a minister and he wants him to be a minister, too, but that's about it. A few scenes in church. Go for it, it's a lot of fun!
Religious people won't flock to a movie that's not good. Religious or not. Noah bombed. If it's good. Word of mouth spreads like wild fire and Christians go to the theaters. All of you anti christian people need to get a grip. You seem so tolerate of everything else. Except Christians.
Thank you for saying that but don't waste your breath. The robot secular army is sadly being churned out of our liberal universities, factory-style, at such an alarming rate, there's no sense trying to reason with them. Their group-think is unprecedented and their fear of being caught marching out of step borders on terror. The irony is they are programmed to believe that we (people of faith) are the brainwashed sheep.
Sad that because the Bible can't stand up to rigorous examination and debate the religious have to blame universities for the decline in people who believe.
This isn't 1500 when people were ignorant and all masses were preached in Latin to keep things mysterious and "above" the average peasant, nor is this certain countries in the Middle East where a person dare not even think about questioning the existence of the God of Abraham. This is the United States in 2015 and the enemy of religion isn't institutions of higher learning but free thought itself. If religion can't stand up to it that's your problem.

It very much is a faith-based movie. I am a reviewer of books and for some reason the production company pitched this to me, thinking I would review it, not knowing I am an atheist. They pitched it as a Christian redemption story. So unless they changed it afterward, it very much is a religious film.

Aren't people who review things supposed to review them objectively and without prejudice? So what if this is religious film?
