Based off the 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express" written by Agatha Christie, and remake of the 1974 movie "Murder on the Orient Express" starring Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York among others which was also based off the 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express" written by Agatha Christie, "Murder on the Orient Express" (2017) starring Michelle 'I love you for life' Pfeiffer, Johnny 'Can't you see my mustache means business?' Depp, Judi 'I'm not dead yet imbecile' Dench, Willem 'the watered-down Charlton Heston' Dafoe, Daisy 'Rey for life' Ridley, Josh 'I'm in good company' Gad, Penelope 'I'm sad quiet and sweet' Cruz and director and lead Kenneth 'my 'stache is better than yours and I have gorgeous sweet blue eyes' Branagh among others is beautiful I love it. I love all of it, I love the beautiful acting, I love the beautiful scenery, and most of all the beautiful story but I hate the CGI train shots, I'd rather have an actual train rolling by it slightly takes away from the caliber of the film, but not much. Was Kenneth Branagh nominated for this? OR WHAT? Was he? I don't know, if he wasn't well then he should have been. Was Murder on the Orient Express (in quotation marks) nominated for best picture? Was it? I don't know if it was I'm asking. It damn well and easily should've been. I feel like it probably wasn't, but maybe it was. I don't know who did it, but the revelation of who the killer(s) is in this it's all-time I love it. I love Michelle. When you watch MotOE for the first time through you're trying to read the actors' expressions and figure out who did it, but it was near to impossible not knowing the novel, and the second time through the movie is viewed upon in a completely new light, a completely new found light, a completely new found discovered light, a completely new found discovered revealing loving light.

This is a stunning and beautiful production. More than appareances though, this was clearly made by fans of Poirot. I have always loved Poirot and this representation does incredible justice to the character.

I am an avid Agatha Christie fan. Murder on the Orient Express is a timeless classic. It is hard to mess this up, but Branagh managed to do it.He over played the role of Poirot. His mustache was way over top and totally distracting in every scene. There were many inconsistencies in the movie....scenes of the frozen mountain here the train is trapped in an avalanche frequently shows the cast outside without a coat, or sitting in a freight car with the side doors completely open, wind blowing their hair WITHOUT COATS or any signs of being cold; and then at the end, in the big reveal scene, Branagh WEARS A COAT!! but later briskly goes up and down narrow steps covered in 'ice' without any caution and gets inside vehicle WITHOUT A TOP...in the snow, in the mountains, in the winter. The cast of this movie is outstanding, so it took some effort or arrogance to mess it up....but Branagh succeeded.

This movie keeps you guessing and waiting. These days many movies are so predictable you can recite a line before it's spoken, this is not one of those movies. The cinematography was captivating and alluring. An all star cast that didn't disappoint. I'm not quite sure why it's gotten such brash reviews, my only guess is that the trailer lead you to believe it maybe a movie of the year, which it is not. . . But only one movie can be and this film was still fantastic.
