    Great detective movie
    Loved it, played like a Cluedo movie.

    Acting top notch, especially from Kenneth Branagh and I hope we get more of him as Hercule Poirot.

    Characters had interesting stories that connected, worked as coming across with multiple suspects.

    Great sets set in Egypt, gave the rich vibes whilst also exploring a new adventure.

    The way everything unravelled was great and how it all came together by the end.

    The beginning was also great with a scene during ww2 with Hercule's backstory, really want a full movie like that.

    All in all very much enjoyed it as a detective movie as it came across with the, putting all the clues together vibe.

    I'll take Maggie Smith and Bette Davis, Angela Lansbury and Pete rUstinov off any day.
    Considering the resources that were brought to bare in terms of the actors actresses, and the production, this should have been a lot better than it is. I know it is not a documentary but at the same time the whole thing looks way too modern for 1937. This applies includes the costumes make up and hairdressing. In terms of the storyline, I have often said, leave Agatha Christie alone, she does not need any help from anyone. The overlong prologue on the early life of Hercule Poirot does not advance Miss Christie's murder mystery plot. Neither do the politically correct additions in terms of race and sexuality. I also don't know why they bothered to go to Egypt because I think most of it is generated by computers.

    The good thing about novels being turned into movies is they sometimes do make you curious about the original source material. That is why many people, including myself have actually read Dodsworth, War and Peace, Auntie Mame, Gone With the Wind, Mildred Pierce, Great Expectations, and on and on. With the exception of Gone With the Wind and Dodsworth, movies, usually suffer by comparison. Auntie Mame I find actually makes a better movie, even though they have turned it into an all out comedy, which in its original form it is not. I expect I will find the same result, as I am reading death on the Nile and its original form.
