Ok movie, except the main character.

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2018)

This movie fun to watch and somehow i found characters more than just place holders. Except the "Poirot" and how he was written, directed and acted. End result literally had nothing in common with the original other than the name. Some change is good and preferrable (otherwise there would be no reason to make remakes) but if you change everything of the character, why still call it that? Why not just go one small step further, change the name and be done with it.
While Poirot was snobby, proud to a fault and at times arrogant (but never attention seeking as that's not how gentleman behaves), this version just seems like more of a overacted parody version of him.
First nails to the coffin was the egg-scene.. Enough about that. The next was the "step in pile of poo".. Jeez!!! And from there thing really started spiraling down! One of the last and biggest nails to the coffin was a serious physical altercation between "Poirot" and a other passanger. Hercule Poirot was, to say it bluntly, obese. Despite his years in police force while younger, he really had none of the fitness left in him. He actually suffered from it and was forced to take health vacation to lose weight. In this movie, "Poirot" fights like Crouching Tiget and runs stairs up and down without breaking a sweat... Again, total, absolutely opposite of the original material.
Sad, i was really hoping much from this. Good follower for David Suchet and his performance. Instead i got spoonfull of cinnamon.
I give 6/10 stars to the general quality and other cast, but "Poirot" gets -1/10 making the final 5/10. Couldn't bare to give more stars for a movie that's main point is the title character and that sinks down like a lead weight.
