The movie is great. Even with the bits of 'poetic license ' taken. I love Kenneth's take on Poirot. Did Poirot hint at the next movie? Perhaps 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd'?
On a train, on a boat, the next should be a plane: 'Death in the Clouds', a murder and interviews, then a denoument, all in real-time, during a flight from Paris-Orly Aeroport to Croydon Airport outside London, on a Handley-Page HP.42 four-engined biplane airliner. That, I'd pay money to see.
.... If s person doesn't understand that this was a classic "who+dunit", or they simply can't enjoy a movie without constant car chases or explosions, then maybe they should have not gone, normal people that knew what to expect, mostly enjoyed it by a huge margin. It is what it is, a murder mystery movie. And it does it exceedingly well, in every way.
If the plot is the same as the book, this is one of my most fav Agatha Christie mysteries and I've read them all. It's very clever and has surprises right up to the very end.
I really enjoyed this movie❤️ I thought I had the killer figured out at the beginning but through out the movie they throw you off track with new evidence, which confused my theory or made me second guess. Turns out I should stuck with my first instinct 😁
Great direction, very sophisticated also the care of the scenes and on the boat ... I very much hope that there will be a 3rd film about Poirot .... (y)
Branagh is brilliant, but for me, Suchet is the quintessential Poirot, especially Death on the Nile…cast, and real trip on the Nile with real Egyptians in bit parts. It’s more authentic and true to the original story. Still I love Branagh as a genius actor, creator, director, etc.
I'm glad I saw it in theaters! Because I live in France and in France the films that are released in the theatre are only released on the streaming platforms (netflix, Disney +, ...) 3 years later!
This movie was amazing. Absolutely wonderful. Dame Christie would be absolutely chuffed. And I honestly can't think of a better cast (though I will say I love the 1970s film).
Emma Mackey is a superb discovery. Sophie Okonedo won my heart with her with and raw lines. And Annette and Kenneth of course and the whole damn great cast !!! Amazing much better than the 70's version with Mia Farrow David Niven and Angela 💖 Langsbury
I was bedazzled by it all, shocked to see the detour from Agatha’s original story (!), wondered if they had to get permission from her estate to change the story, and want to see it again…to give it a chance. It’s a sumptuous movie.
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that they have detoured from the original story. I loved the book and loved the original movie with Mia Farrow, Lois Chiles, Peter Ustinov and a host of other greats (Lansbury, Niven, Bette Davis and Maggie Smith) even more. However that makes me want to see what they've done with this one now. Surely they wouldn't be allowed to change the plot? May be just the characters to make them contemporary since there aren't too many ex-army generals and dowagers running around anymore? I'd be fine with that. I notice that the character names are still the same.
@@jasminderpinder not really. They have introduced Bouc, who is gorgeous, but not in the original story, and a few other significant changes…makes it more contemporary, which I enjoyed after the second viewing, but I still wonder what do A Christie’s heirs have to say? I would guess…if it is lucrative, go for it. It’s always about the money😉
Of course, they do have permission to tweak the story. The estate knows that. This isn't the first adapted story wherein they had to tweak things. If the estate didn't approve, the film would not have been released.
Of COURSE they had permission to change/tweak the story, just like Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes tweaked the plot lines. Films like this are not made without approval from the Christie estate.
I just finished watching this movie. I was surprised. I was watching it to fill time while I did other stuff. Funny enough I couldn't stop watching it and forgot about the other stuff 🤣
I don't know why so many critics delighted in trashing this. I'm convinced that in their personal lives, they are probably not able to maintain a personal relationship for very long, as their cynical, vitriolic nature would drive people away.
Because the story did not make sense with the character changes and the movie had no proper lead character played by a good actor. The story was anchored down by no one. It looked gorgeous, but played weak.
@@alantes I agree. I didn't mind the character changes, since every new version has to inject something new into the mix, but the consequences of those changes weren't addressed. Social behaviour was presented as if it was some woke 21st century story, and this just didn't ring true in the context of the 1930s.
I saw it. I loved Kenneth Brannagh's Murder On The Orient Express. I have several criticisms of this film. Firstly, the casting was influenced by affirmative action. There was a lesbian couple, two black women, and an Indian man. Mabe I need to go re-read Agatha Christie's book but I don't remember that kind of diversity among the guests on the Karnak. What was really grating was the dirty dancing scenes in the beginning of the movie. It felt as if these scenes were filmed to ' spice' up the film or make it appeal to a wider audience. Then there was the very loud and annoying jazz music and the jazz performances by one of the characters. It all detracted from the classic Agatha Christie story. Now for the good news; I still love Kenneth Brannagh as Poirot. The climax of the movie, as Poirot reveals the murderer, was absolutely stunning. Russell Brand was surprisingly good as the doctor and Emma Mackey dominated every scene that she appeared in. I literally couldn't take my eyes off her. I understand the reason for some of the CGI images of Egypt. Modern day Egypt looks different from the Egypt of 1937, but the CGI images of the Old Cataract Hotel; now the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel; are ludicrous, and the scenes; supposedly inside Abu Simbel; were not accurate in any degree. Sill, I enjoyed the movie and felt the stirrings in my soul at the scene of Poirot at the Pyramids of Giza, and the glimpse of the Kiosk of Trajan, ( Philae Temple, Aswan ) as seen from the Nile. If you love Agatha Christie, Kenneth Brannagh, or anything Egyptian related, I recommend this movie.
Agree w/ everything you wrote. I do not get how an Indian male is supposed to be playing an Armenian that is supposed to be a cousin of a white woman that is played by an Israeli actress. None of it made any sense. And if anything, the character Annette Benning played would have severe problems about her white British son being with a black woman from the South, as opposed to having objections pertaining to this relationship b/c she just doesn't believe in love. Or because the girl was an American. Please. If you are going to change the race of the characters, at least make it make sense and make it seem probable.
@@looloo4029 Naw… I had my fill. Don’t think I want to sit through some other british branded SJW shitfest of a production. Egypt was rendered beautifully though… I understand this movie was entirely made on a computer. No setting or backdrop was real.
I loved the movie despite the criticism. In terms of this video, the cocktail was my favorite. However, it would have been nice to have a cocktail recipe for Salome Otterborne's character.
While I can understand this might not be a 100% accurate version of Poirot and the story it’s telling, I really enjoyed it. Though I can understand why people wouldn’t enjoy “action hero Poirot”.
This movie is less surprising than the first movie. I can guest the culprit from the beginning not like the first movie where i keep wondering who was the culprit and that where the plot twist lies. It still good movie tho
Loved this film - if linnet had just married windlesham, he would be happy ans she would be still alive, then simon would have married jackie and they would also have survived, lol
In this film, Emma Mackay is the standard-bearer of riveting British acting. The woodenness of the rest betrays their casting simply to gain more financing.
Behind the scenes on a film which was all shot at a studio with CGI used to fake the location scenes? The 1970s version was actually shot in Egypt on the Nile!
What the flukk. Are some people just incapable of enjoying a good movie ? I guess that we were so rapt up in the movie from the very beginning, that we never noticed the cgi. Most critics live for a chance to outdo others in eviscerating a reasonably good movie. Some viewers that had misunderstood what it was going to be,
Très loin de la version de 1978 au niveau jeu d'acteurs, ambiance etc Il manque cette aura de cette époque des STARS hollywoodienne comme Bette Davis, David Niven, Peter Ustinov, Angela lansbury etc. Pas de suite par pitié, ni de nouveaux remake fait à la chaîne.
Well , David Suchet is still The Poirot for me :) i like his interpretation of Poirot and novel itself much more , but have to admit , that this is not bad at all ... so sad it had to be done with modern style cliche like Poirot fighting like Indiana Jones or changed main storyline of third death which leads to Poirot's cry at the end . But as i said , not great , not terrible .. decent movie . 6/10
Not gonna lie the Depeche Mode song in the trailer is what got me out to see this movie. It was okay, loved the cast! I would be interested in seeing a third movie, but Branagh needs to up the mystery intrigue. This movie took too long to get to the murder.
Yes people do love a great puzzle. The problem is this is not a new great puzzle. The books of Agatha Christie are some of the best loved and best known crime fiction novels in the World. There is also the classic film from the mid 1970's with Peter Ustinov as Poirot that many people have seen. So, who does not know this story and who the murderer/s is or are?
I must dissent; go see the earlier version with Ustinov. It is better written and better acted. I am surprised that the Christie estate allows this travesty to be perpetuated.
Poor….looked very nice, not a patch on the original, characters didn’t have any development…who they were explained by Boc at the start…very two dimensional
Dont read if you havent watched When gal gadot died i was so disappointed. when I found out her best friend and husband betrayed her i was disappointed. when i found out she doesn't feel save on the boat but still followed i was disappointed.when i found out her cousin tried to kill her i was disappointed.This was so much to take it.This movie is so detailed.
Kenneth Branagh is wrong from head to toe. Not an ounce of humor in his interpretation of Poirot, he made the little guy BORING. But the whole cast is dull. (A few hot pieces, but they’re snores.) Why cast Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French then do nothing with either of them? And there’s no mystery. It’s really obvious what’s really going on. Branagh should make a better picture than this. The other Agatha Christie remake was flat, too.
The staff at the Hotel contains numerous Egyptian characters, probably played by English people of the right appearance. The boat Karnak has a number of notably white / brown servants, who appear only as a 'chorus' as in ancient plays, leaving the boat at times so they don't have to be interviewed by Poirot.
This movie was utter crap and he should not be allowed to ever make another agatha christie movie again. And if possible sent to prison for his crimes.
@@mrsterling5306 If I may there were notable actors in this movie that had some baggage. Pretty sure Emma Mackey's character was supposed to be filled by Jodie Comer but she had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts. Letitia Wright was 50/50 due to her stance on the Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic. And finally as you'd expect, Armie Hammer (Simon Doyle) is a monster.
The design of the KARNAK is so anachronistic. It's too SLEEK and streamlined for something in 1937. Plus, the boathouse is over that Grand Saloon but there is no connection of the wheel to the bottom-controls of the boat? HELLO? It's just too STERILE a boat and that DESIGN did not Exist in 1937 -- no curtains, no fronds, Also, this is set in Egypt, a muslim country, yet the ship employs female attendants dressed in shorts, etc. In a muslim country, women wouldn't even BE WORKING on that boat. That, to me, is the biggest FAUX PAS of this film.
If you watch a film called 'Khartoum' you will see that side-wheel riverboats like this existed in the 19th century, when 'Khartoum' was made in the 1960s, and still exist for tourists today (search 'Nile River Cruisers'). The one in this recent film is not a real boat at all, but is an artistic setting for a mystery / murder, and was built to suggest a sleek cage of cut glass, where everything should be visible, but much was hidden. The earlier 'Death on the Nile' starring Peter Ustinov was shot on a real boat on the real Nile. But it also is not a boat from 1937. It's actually much older, as tourist boats tend to be.
@@stevetheduck1425 Thanks for your comments. Will address them in reverse order. #3 - Boat from the 1978 version. No problem with that. It was older, so it fit the period. #2 - Eh, the sleek look w/o curtains, w/o fronds doesn't work for me. #1 - I know the boat isn't real -- altho they did build a full-size model in the studio. For me, the design chosen destroys an otherwise entertaining film. Also, I just googled Nile cruise boats from the 1930s, NONE of them look like this cleaned-up version which existed only in Branagh's head. So its look is FAKE and FABRICATED -- inconcistent with the reality of the period. I mean, why set things in a particular period (1937) and then go fantastical in other details? At least be consistent.
A massive showy bit of nothing. 1. The characters were hardly fleshed out at all (compare to the earlier versions) 2. Poirot never ever used a gun. Belfast was fabulous, stick to things like that..,,, as a lover of David Suchet and all of Agatha's stories. Hugely average and disappointing. Nothing new. Nothing special. For pity sake more fleshing out of characters! You had good actors and you didn't bring them out!!!@
Such a bunch of bullshit. That's modern acting if the stars have to promote this movie knowing it's shit. The whole cinema was laughing about "the conclusion" in the end of the film. "Sexiness, glamour and romance" for the director; not for the audience.
I especially enjoyed the prologue into Poirot's background in the army and that it was black and white. Excellent opening.
We saw this movie, and it was WAY BETTER than I was led to expect. Enjoyed it immensely.
Never trust critics
@@jamesmcdonald5026 Amen
Yes I love it
Same here. I almost gave it a miss after reading reviews. It has made me wonder what other films I have missed out on over the years.
The movie is great. Even with the bits of 'poetic license ' taken. I love Kenneth's take on Poirot. Did Poirot hint at the next movie? Perhaps 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd'?
In what part of the film, did him hint to an adaptation of Murder Of Roger Ackroyd ?
I also hope that is the next adaptation
On a train, on a boat, the next should be a plane: 'Death in the Clouds', a murder and interviews, then a denoument, all in real-time, during a flight from Paris-Orly Aeroport to Croydon Airport outside London, on a Handley-Page HP.42 four-engined biplane airliner.

Just in case no one knew, this movie is a remake of the 1978 film and based on the 1937 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie.
I dknt know why it has low scores and box office. It's an awesome movie.
Because it was crap and a terrible terrible terrible adaptation of the novel.
This movie is less surprising than the first movie. I can guest the culprit from the beginning not like the first movie where i keep wondering who was the culprit and that where the plot twist lies. It still good movie tho
Who murdered whom in this film? Six names needed. ;-)
You'd say the same thing if you saw this version first, then followed by the 1978 original.

Very amusing that Armey Hammer aka CannibalDude has been edited out of the trailers and now this making of doc ... cue the chewing noises 😂
My main complaint is Jacqueline/Emma’s underdone, out-of-period hair.
Great movie, watched it 20 times (AT LEAST!!) However, my favorite is Peter Ustinov.
I would love to play Jaqueline de bellefort
This is not much of a making-of, rather an ad for the movie, though. I was hoping to see a bit more behind the screens than a cocktail menu.

Kenneth Branagh is wrong from head to toe. Not an ounce of humor in his interpretation of Poirot, he made the little guy BORING. But the whole cast is dull. (A few hot pieces, but they’re snores.) Why cast Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French then do nothing with either of them? And there’s no mystery. It’s really obvious what’s really going on. Branagh should make a better picture than this. The other Agatha Christie remake was flat, too.
First 🥇
yet another wonderful agatha christie novel mutilated
They talked about diversity but I didn't see one single Egyptian actor on this movie and the place supposed to be in Egypt
No Egyptian characters were in the story and no Middle Eastern actors wanted to work with Israeli actress Gal Godot.
The staff at the Hotel contains numerous Egyptian characters, probably played by English people of the right appearance.
The boat Karnak has a number of notably white / brown servants, who appear only as a 'chorus' as in ancient plays, leaving the boat at times so they don't have to be interviewed by Poirot.
Well an Indian was playing an Armenian that was supposed to be a WASP... so there you have it.
“You think you know but you don’t really”
Yea I literally predicted who the murderer was like 25 min into the movie and I was right lmfaooo
I think the point is, you can be correct in your assumption, but you can´t be totally sure you are right
i got the husband but not the other girl
Everyone's known for 80 years, you're not clever or special
This movie was utter crap and he should not be allowed to ever make another agatha christie movie again. And if possible sent to prison for his crimes.
I do feel a bit sorry for a majority of the cast. For the well-rehearsed reasons, Disney pretty much let this one sink.
what do you mean the “well rehearsed reasons”?
@@mrsterling5306 If I may there were notable actors in this movie that had some baggage. Pretty sure Emma Mackey's character was supposed to be filled by Jodie Comer but she had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts. Letitia Wright was 50/50 due to her stance on the Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic. And finally as you'd expect, Armie Hammer (Simon Doyle) is a monster.
We walked out after 30 minutes: Sir K.B. miscast himself, dreadful music, AVOID !
The design of the KARNAK is so anachronistic. It's too SLEEK and streamlined for something in 1937. Plus, the boathouse is over that Grand Saloon but there is no connection of the wheel to the bottom-controls of the boat? HELLO? It's just too STERILE a boat and that DESIGN did not Exist in 1937 -- no curtains, no fronds, Also, this is set in Egypt, a muslim country, yet the ship employs female attendants dressed in shorts, etc. In a muslim country, women wouldn't even BE WORKING on that boat. That, to me, is the biggest FAUX PAS of this film.
As Hitchcock said, “It’s only a movie”. Settle down.
If you watch a film called 'Khartoum' you will see that side-wheel riverboats like this existed in the 19th century, when 'Khartoum' was made in the 1960s, and still exist for tourists today (search 'Nile River Cruisers').
The one in this recent film is not a real boat at all, but is an artistic setting for a mystery / murder, and was built to suggest a sleek cage of cut glass, where everything should be visible, but much was hidden.
The earlier 'Death on the Nile' starring Peter Ustinov was shot on a real boat on the real Nile. But it also is not a boat from 1937. It's actually much older, as tourist boats tend to be.
@@stevetheduck1425 Thanks for your comments. Will address them in reverse order.
#3 - Boat from the 1978 version. No problem with that. It was older, so it fit the period.
#2 - Eh, the sleek look w/o curtains, w/o fronds doesn't work for me.
#1 - I know the boat isn't real -- altho they did build a full-size model in the studio. For me, the design chosen destroys an otherwise entertaining film. Also, I just googled Nile cruise boats from the 1930s, NONE of them look like this cleaned-up version which existed only in Branagh's head. So its look is FAKE and FABRICATED -- inconcistent with the reality of the period. I mean, why set things in a particular period (1937) and then go fantastical in other details? At least be consistent.
Not the Indian playing an Armenian that is supposed to be a WASP?
it's a movie chill dude.
The accent s so fake
I prefer the original with the classic actors of the past, not this woke version.
A massive showy bit of nothing. 1. The characters were hardly fleshed out at all (compare to the earlier versions) 2. Poirot never ever used a gun. Belfast was fabulous, stick to things like that..,,, as a lover of David Suchet and all of Agatha's stories. Hugely average and disappointing. Nothing new. Nothing special. For pity sake more fleshing out of characters! You had good actors and you didn't bring them out!!!@
и сняли говно по итогу! декорации ужасные
Such a bunch of bullshit. That's modern acting if the stars have to promote this movie knowing it's shit. The whole cinema was laughing about "the conclusion" in the end of the film. "Sexiness, glamour and romance" for the director; not for the audience.
Excellent film. Bravo #russellbrand
Awful movie.
Rubbish movie
Great movie!
