Loved it - Well done story and top directing

I wasn't the biggest fan of Murder on the Orient Express. I thought it was more style and less substance.

This was well done, with great sets, sound, and visuals. The cast was less "stunt casting" and more interesting and the whodunit well played out with a couple twists and turns. I thought Branagh was much more subdued and mature in this one, and it let the story breath a bit more.

It was a nice way to spend a couple hours in a theater.

Visuals are better, but otherwise little is added. Branagh's Poirot doesn't so much interview people as loudly accuse them. I get it. His predecessors were so good that he has to go a completely different way, but the way he has found isn't really an enjoyable one.

I dint like that movie. Bad directing, bad acting, too much CGI.

And I didnt even watch till the end the Orient Express. So bad it was.

Kenneth Branagh is not a good director. I was surprised how bad those two movies were considering he is elderly British person. It looked like it was shot by some 25 years old american hipster who knows nothing about those times and never read Agatha Christie books.

The only good movie Kenneth Branagh did was the first Thor where he gave life to Loki. It was the best Loki was among all other movies.
