Such a frustrating disappointment

disgusting, overrated, pointless

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

An unnecessary remake? Not a chance! Finely crafted on every level, with a few directorial quirks, but that's Branagh. Wonderful to watch and listen to. Great script. Perfect pacing. Flawless acting. Priceless one-liners. Agatha Christie brought beautifully to the screen. And I even forgive the CGI. Sometimes the critics are right and sometimes the public is. In this case, the latter. The movie made $350 million and hinted at a remake of "Death on the Nile." Go, Kenneth!

This is one of many versions of Agatha Christie's 1934 novel in which the original defective detective Hercule Poirot solves yet an unsolvable crime . After solving who stole a church artifact in Jerusalem, Poirot is looking forward to a much needed rest before heading to London on another case. Broc who is the director on the Simplon Orient Express offers Piirot a luxury filled trip of fine foods, wine, and relaxation, that is until he meets Edward Rachett, a fellow passenger. Rachett believes someone will try to murder him and wants to hire Pirot as his personal body guard, Pirot refuses and Rachett proves to be right, and he is murdered. Sit back for the next couple of hours with a blanket and a cup or two of your favorite hot beverage to enjoy one of the best classic murder mysteries that is filled with a star studded cast - Johnny Depp, Penelop Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, to name a few.Not suitable for young viewers due to adult themes.

It's visible, but the 1974 version with Sean Connery it's 10 times better and more accurate to the original book, I don't understand how they still hire Penelope Cruz, she is a disaster as an actress.

Really, I loved the book. But the way it was written, it was hard to in-corporate it into 120 min movie as there are almost 15 characters. Now with time-constrains movie was able to focus on only few characters or moments and even the last revelation seemed way forced. For someone who have not read the book, the movie is gonna seem very odd.If it could have been a mini-series each episode focusing on 2 characters interrogation like in book, it could have hit the Homerun.Though, is it still too late? HBO, Showtime, Lifetime?Awesome cinematography btw
