Some great acting but an air of cheapness too

This is my first foray into these Branagh Poirots having grown up with David Suchet on TV as him, so he had some big little Belgian shoes to fill.Branagh brings enough intrigue and quirkiness to the character to make him his own, but in this film he is massively lost in the shadows of Tina Fey whose very presence steals any scene.Whilst I didn't know the story/plot, it kept me guessing throughout, but some poorly executed shots and weak CGI moments gave the film an element of cheap horror film, and this jarred with the characters.Yeoh's character was all too brief in her screen time, but she gave a great performance all the same. The main child actor - Jude Hill gives us a wonderfully intense, matter-of-fact, and sinisterly creepy Leopold. I hope to spot Jude flexing this skill in more films in future.Wouldn't watch again, and likely wouldn't have gone to see it in the cinema if it wasn't because of friends wanting to watch it.

was expecting more!

I love these types of movies: the who done it? Very reminiscent of Murder on the Oruent Express and Knives Out.

However what I enjoyed about those movies was the suspense element. In this movie they reveal who the killer is too quickly! And then I was like oh perhaps the detective will realize he caught the wrong person, but that was not the case.

There were also some characters that posed no suspicion of the murder (the two Romani siblings).

I did enjoy how they played with science vs supernatural. Constantly the audience are asking themselves are spirits real in this universe? Is everything orchestrated? It plays with our doubts from the very beginning - and there's no right answer!

Mixed feelings

This is an interesting film if you're not an Agatha Christie & Hercule Poirot fan. But for me it completely lacked the unique charm of Poirot, his methods and his personality. KB is a great actor but in this film he is as far from being Poirot as can be. Maybe that was intentional but for me it just didn't work. Tina Fey was a nice surprise although my image of Ariadne Oliver was quite different. The pace of the action is not at all balanced and is difficult to follow. It is not bad film, I would definitely recommend it instead of hundreds others but it doesn't do justice to Agatha Christie's marvellous writing.
