Thought I would watch before I watch death on the nile. as I've both seen the two previous versions one made for tv and the 1974 film version so I already knew what was gonna happen and knew who dunnitt. It has a all star cast of suspects and then there's Kenneth branagh as poirot not someone I would of thought to play poirot but he is the star and the director overall good who dunnitt bring on death on the nile

I've probably seen every episode of columbo repeatedly on the tv over the years and I'm rewstching again today. Peter faulk is columbo thru and thru as u watch him try and catch the which suspect that week if its william shatner or Robert Vaughan. Alot of it is now outdated and showing its age and predictable but always worth a rewatch now and again

It’s rare that I prefer a film or TV series to the book it is based on but I think this may be the exception. Having only seen the 1st series on TV I thought I’d give the book a go and although the world-building lives up to what I’d expect the story itself is slow and not as tense.

It’s scary and an all believable world that Atwood creates but the telling seemed bogged down in details over the mundane.

I probably spoiled myself seeing the TV series first but I’d recommend that to all. I feel the theme has been gone over plenty so won't rehash but it's a worthwhile story however you decide to consume it.

Not as good as the Albert Finney, or David Suchet versions (0 more)
Pretty remake but lacking charm
I'm a bit Agatha Christie fan and love a Whodunit. I've seen the original Albert Finney version a few times and the David Suchet made for TV one. This is behind both of those. Although it has a great cast and some nice scenery it lacks any charm, suspense or tension. Maybe because I know the story so well but the flash backs, clues and final summing up weren't as good as the other versions. Might be more fun for those who haven't seen the other versions. I wasn't keen on Branagh's portrayal of Poirot either... But it's still a good story.
