Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Beautifully filmed, outstanding cast but they're trying to make bricks without straw. Branagh is so consumed with himself trying to imprint his own stamp on Poirot as a gastronome that he makes an nearly unrecognizable cartoon out of a caricature, and loses any of Poirot's sympathetic characteristics. In an enormous betrayal of the character, he eats from the plate of someone he despises. In a further effort to impose 21st century sensibilities on an early 20th century world, we are shown women adept at physical defense, an upper class anglo african physician, aging beauties who speak to strangers of "women's needs" and, in a completely gratuitous scene, outspoken embrace of what at the time would have been considered "miscegenation". All of these are expected in today's enlightened society but would have been cause for censure and scorn 80+ years ago. This film has many excellent actors whose talents are sidelined.

No twist, no smart story! It was like the writter was rushing to finish his story. Maybe they should've hired a detective to write the story

Cinematically beautiful, but the plot and the wrap up are just weak which is really unfortunate for such a great looking film

Really, I loved the book. But the way it was written, it was hard to in-corporate it into 120 min movie as there are almost 15 characters. Now with time-constrains movie was able to focus on only few characters or moments and even the last revelation seemed way forced. For someone who have not read the book, the movie is gonna seem very odd.If it could have been a mini-series each episode focusing on 2 characters interrogation like in book, it could have hit the Homerun.Though, is it still too late? HBO, Showtime, Lifetime?Awesome cinematography btw
