Poor portrayal of Poirit

Huge dissapointment

I'm a big fan of Poirot and have seen many portrayals of the great detective, and this is probably the worst... John Malkovich however talented he may be - is not a Poirot...

I know the story of the ABC murders and I was still confused as to what was going on, so I can't imagine how it must have been for somebody that doesn't know it, it was over complicated in its narrative and writing and didn't flow in an easy to watch way.

I genuinely feel it is three hours of my life I cannot get back.

Kudos

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966) in Movies

Aug 10, 2019

For a given value of 'good', anyway: we enjoyed this immensely although probably not as the makers intended. Absurd pulp adventure as Fu Manchu, the most evil racial stereotype in the world, tries to conquer it by blowing up St Paul's Cathedral with his wireless death ray. The actual brides are fairly incidental to the plot.

Good production values, preposterous script, performances which are difficult to describe. It may be a bit racist but really, really doesn't warrant being taken that seriously. If Fu Manchu had a better HR department he could probably have got away with it, too. Hugely entertaining if you're in the right mood.
