Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed.

The biggest crime Branagh commits is wasting one of the most impressive ensemble casts in recent history, reducing Poirot's 12 suspects to one-dimensional background characters.

Given the confined nature of the material as well as its period-specific aspects, this is a yarn that does not exactly invite radical reinterpretation. As such, its appeal is confined to the traditional niceties of being a clever tale well told.

well damn, was hoping for more..will still go see it. I know nothing about the story so will be going into it unspoiled and will probably read the book and watch the old movie afterwards.

Me, too. Definitely going to see 3 Billboards this weekend. Was going to do a very rare double with Murder, but I really enjoy the 1974 Sydney Lumet-directed classic. May just leave it as it is, then. I am a cynical a-hole, after all.

Have you never seen a movie that has a poor score that you enjoyed?
There is certainly a use for critic scores, but I wouldn't let them effect me into assuming a movie is bad or good without seeing for myself (outside of the obviously terribad movies like Geostorm)

my thoughts as well, I am still looking forward to seeing it. Have been since seeing the trailer for the first time

That sucks, this movie had a lot of potential. I’ll still see it, probably not in theaters though

RT scores usually sway me when it comes to going to see in a movie theater vs. waiting for it to come out on streaming.
A 66% score won't pull me into a movie theater.

Sooooo........ An Agatha Christie novel?

I figured as much.
This is where binge streaming has ruined movies for me at least. So much more of a complete story can be told. Movies = short story Show = Novel

Low rating is the least of Depp's problems.
Johnny Depp Hit With Foreclosure On Homes By Ex-Biz Managers For $5M Loan
quote:
EXCLUSIVE: Johnny Depp seemed quite tired and emotional last week at the London premiere for the new Murder On The Orient Express but today the Oscar nominee may be feeling the wolf is at the door, at least legally and residentially.
Nearly a year after Depp and his former business managers start throwing accusations and betrayals at each other in court over millions in the seemingly spendthrift actor’s troubled finances, The Management Group on Monday filed an “action for judicial foreclosure” against the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
Aiming for the heart of what started the lawsuits flying back in January when the actor went after TMG in a $25 million fraud suit, the move Monday is to force a sale of five Los Angeles properties owned by Depp run trusts. Those sales are part of a larger play to repay a $5 million loan TMG made to the strapped actor in December 2012.
“TMG agreed to come to the aid of its long-time client,” the complaint filed in LA Superior Court today said of a pressing and due City National Bank loan that Depp had no way of meeting and his ex-biz managers got a “pass-through” for. “The idea behind this arrangement, which was designed to save Depp from a public and devastating financial collapse, was that Depp would pay TMG what TMG was required to pay CNB under the loan,” the non-jury trial seeking document adds of the company and its 17-year long client’s deal (read it here).
“At least at the time, Depp and his sister, personal manager, and the president of his production company, (Elisa Christi) Dembrowski, were very grateful to TMG for coming to Depp’s aid and helping him to avoid a public financial collapse,” TMG’s lawyers Michael Kump and Suann MacIsaac assert. “In fact, three years later, Depp used the fact that TMG had lent him money to pressure his long-time agent, United Talent Agency, to guarantee a further multi-million dollar loan from Bank of America,” the duo declare.
These sort of foreclosure actions usually move through the courts faster than most matters and, if a judgment is found in Depp’s disfavor, could see the Sheriff or a marshall snagging the properties within a year and selling them to pay the loan Depp has apparently decided not. ...

They could just ad lib that story for future use. Depp is always broke because he spends a wild amount of money

The dude had 14 houses.
And not shacks and not in the slums. Hollywood Hills, France, Bahamas
And he had a Yacht.
I guess he thought Pirates would last forever. He made $300 million for starring in the Pirates franchise.
Dude is the actor version of the ESPN 30 for 30 on athletes going broke.

If you're stupid enough to blow through 300+ million dollars then you deserve to go bankrupt.

Neither of those reviews convinces me it is a bad movie. The second review especially tells what the director is up against. Its a great book that is never going to translate into a great movie.

Has Kenneth Branagh made a single memorable movie?
