"Murder on the Orient Express" is pretty good... (No Spoilers)

[First Speaker]

...it's bright, moves well, and is gorgeously photographed. The shots of old Jerusalem, Istanbul, and the train going thru the countryside are mouth-watering. The script gives this old chestnut some real originality and zest, the acting is superb. Especially Michelle Pfeiffer, and Branagh himself as Poirot. The way he uses his eyes, his voice, how he moves...it's a pitch perfect performance, despite--maybe because--he's so different from David Suchet's Poirot. I'd recommend this to any Agatha fans...

1. Everybody knows whodunit, that story has been around for so long,

but I'd like to see the movie anyhow.

5. It was the butler in the conservatory right?

6. Colonel Mustard, in the library, with a lead pipe, IIRC.

9. I'd saw the original (never read the book)...

But I'd totally forgotten who-done-it. Even if you KNOW it'll still be fun.

[Ohiya]

2. Mrs G and I give two big thumbs up!

Very enjoyable time.

3. Kenneth Branagh

He tends to make good products.

4. It was very good

7. Big Kenneth Branagh fan here!

Fell in love with him when I saw Henry V! He knows how to use voice inflections well. After his pre-Agincourt speech I was calling for my squire to bring me my sword!

Not fond of the Suchet version of Orient Express (tho' he's a fabulous Poirot!), maybe I'll take a look at this version.

8. The scenery was spectacular, as I knew it would be.

Enjoyed the cinematography. I'd recommend it.
