Daniel Boyd (1066 KP) rated Murder on the Orient Express (2017) in Movies
Nov 14, 2017 (Updated Nov 14, 2017)
A Serviceable Retelling
I'm not going to tell you that this is one of the greatest detective movies ever made, but it is a lot better than a lot of reviews are making it out to be and I had fun with it. Branagh does a good job with directing the all star cast and they each get a moment to shine. He is also brilliant as Poirot, working as the staple that holds the whole movie together. The lighting and the cinematography in the film is stunning. It does have it's cheesy moments and certain actors could be mistaken for being in a pantomime, but that comes with the territory with a period murder mystery story. I'm not saying it's brilliant, but it is good fun and as remakes go, it could have been a lot worse.

Look if your looking for an Oscar-quality plot with great acting and cinematography this movie is not for you. This is a movie that plays to its strengths blowing stuff up, beautiful women and people doing dope things. It is a generic take over the world plot and I can't tell if Vin Diesel is phoning his return to XXX in but all things considered it wasn't that bad. High points were with Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, and Micheal Bisping I want another flick with these 3 guys as a team of mercenaries it sells itself. If you like over the top action this film is for you.

Loved it
Let me tell u. One day I will own all of this authors books in paperback they are Soo amazing .soooo Felix holds my heart and I really didn't think Alice would write another character that came as close as Felix but she did in this book. This was truly amaizng and fun and wonderful. I am going through a move right now so stress is high and this made me laugh Soo hard. These two are perfect and watching them try to figure out how to not be a pesky human(ha!) And a fancy camp (ha!) And watch them figure out themselves and also together. It was just wonderful and I cannot wait for the next book and I hope it's soon but no matter when it is....it will be amazing im sure

So I'm currently working through my backlog of Kindle books. Ones that have been on my Kindle for 6 or 7 years and this one was the latest.
2.5 stars
It started quite good and I was enjoying the relationship between Hunter and our girl but my interest started to waver a little after the middle when Hunter kept getting annoyed at being unable to tell her the truth for the thousandth time. I was growling at my Kindle, saying, what are you hiding?!
Admittedly, it did take me a little by surprise but not enough.
And then in relation to a certain boy. I figured it was you from about half way through, probably about the time my interest started to wander, with all your glaring and huffing and general moodiness. A bit too obvious.
