A thrilling adventure that steams ahead, despite a few faults on the line. Having not seen any of the previous adaptations or read the original novel, I was pleasantly surprised by this. The characters are all presented rather well, there are some outstanding bits of cinematography and the music is great in building tension throughout. However, there are a few pacing issues within the 2nd act which tends to feel a little repetitive as all the characters are outlined and Kenneth Branagh does put himself at the centre of the film. This ultimately leads to some weak storytelling in terms of the overall twist and reveals towards the end but creates a great murder-mystery overall.

Agatha Christie, a truly magnificent moustache and a mystery to be solved. Add to that a spectacular cast, fine acting and gorgeous scenery. I have to say that my anticipation of this movie was greater than it's realization, but I still give it a 7 (good) out of 10. Kenneth Branagh said all he did was assemble a highly talented cast and then just sat back and watched the magic. Although I believe he was underselling his worth to the production, I'm sure just watching people steeped in their craft bring the goods was a privilege. Olivia Coleman said to just be able to sit and hold a dog while watching Dame Judy perform was brilliant. [Crime, Mystery, Drama, Remake]

Advancements in technology alone never justify remaking a classic. If you're not going to make it better, make it differently. If you're not going to make it differently, don't remake it.

[5.6/10] **WARNING: Vague References to Spoilers**

*Murder on the Orient Express* rises and falls on the strength of its main creative force, with Kenneth Branagh pulling double duty as both star and director. He assumes the role of Hercule Poirot, the protagonist of a long series of Agatha Chri More

**An effort worthy of merit, but which did not result in a really good work.**

Kenneth Branagh is one of those actors/directors who doesn't seem to be afraid of a challenge, and I respect him for that, even if his choices aren't always the wisest. Bringing the greatest book of Agatha Christie's w More

I have always loved this story and was looking forward to seeing this adaptation but afraid it was going to be Branagh'd, especially when finding out he was playing Poirot himself and cast Johnny Depp as Ratchett.

When a director wants to put their own stamp on something, they usually screw it u More

Beginning with Kenneth Branagh's second decade as a filmmaker, I suggest he became an industry workhorse. He acted in many films and directed several, all with varying results in quality. Most pointedly, few felt like they were personal projects for 15 years. For example, his direction of **THOR** More
