Review of The King (2021) by Sammy H — 21 Aug 2018
Update...I apologize. My rant about the sound was not the fault of the producer/director. I was the fault of the theater. I'm so sorry to have shot from the hip. .
Please ignore all comment about sound problems. I will go see it again now that I have informed and straightened out the theater. It was a new guy running the show who didn't know what the heck he was doing. Please notice I up my star rating to a full 5.
This film had enormous possibilities.There was/is a wealth of info and drama to be seen. I say seen because this pos movie had the worst sound track/dialogue rendering I have ever,make that never heard. Music is far,far too fuckin' loud. All the dialogue was over powered so as to be inaudible. It wasn't the theater. I've seenalotoffilmsinthesametheaterbuthaveneverhadsuchahorrible experience. All that said, If you can tolerate such auditory assault better than I, by all means give it a go. More of an indictment of the shithole country we were and are than revealing Elvis. Nice, nee, great effort on the filmmaker part but some one should have told him to fix the fuckin' sound. It wasn't just me. There was a theater full of pissed off folks.
