Boring

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

When I hear "Elvis", Aloha from Hawaii is the first thing that comes to mind.I have this show on VHS, laser disc and multiple editions on DVD,as well as the audio on LP and CD.Arguably Elvis on Stage in Memphis captured a better live performance, Aloha is spectacular to watch.

This concert is just amazing; it's Elvis at his best. Unfortunately, he wouldn't live to surpass this performance. I won't mention all the songs because you can or probably have read them elsewhere, but he delivers every song with all the emotion and power you would expect from the King.Don't complain about the awful jumpsuit or the longer hair - this was January 1973 after all. But either way, he never looked better in the 1970s than he did here. He crash dieted before the concert, and it paid off with him looking and sounding his best. You can watch this concert over and over and it never gets worse... if you wanted to know why this man was a legend, this concert shows why !

In 1973, Elvis Presley appeared for two nights in Hawaii and this film of one of those nights was beamed to numerous countries around the world by satellite, the first concert to be so treated. (The other night's concert has been since released as 'Alternate Aloha' and is just as good).After a crash diet, Presley looks good and is in amazing voice, with his usual backing band and singers (the Stamps Quartet and the Sweet Inspirations). This concert contains gem after gem (including I'll Remember You, a poignant song which fits the moment perfectly).Perhaps his last great filmed concert (the one in 1977 is simply sad, despite his voice still being in evidence), 'Aloha From Hawaii' is a fantastic memento of an unsurpassed artist who could sing in almost every style. This concert proves that.

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.
