A decent watch

Rating: 5/10 (11 February 2018)

Murder on the Orient Express is your perfect average go to movie. It's not fantastic by any means, it's not horrible. Depending on the person you might finish this movie with a good vibe and a bad one, why?
First of all this movie is beautiful, cinematography wise that is. From beginning to end this movie just gives a very fresh and clean look and while this might not be the most important point to people I just like to point it out because I love cinematography and this movie nailed it.
Characters wise is okay, it's nothing out of the ordinary. The main focus on this movie is the detective Hercule played by Kenneth Branagh and his great character work and the way he deals with this murder case. Hercule is a decent enough character that should have been much more but works fine. Every other character I found to be either boring or irrelevant. May that be lazy poor acting such as Johnny Depp or Daisy Ridley or just boring characters who really offer nothing more than just a filler in this movie (literally everyone else).
Story wise it's fine, the twist is amazing and it was by far the best part of it. The reveal and the build up to it grabbed me in a way that the movie didn't in any other scene and it was a vital point on why i'm not downgrading my opinion on it.
Overall Murder on the Orient Express is a decent movie, nothing out of the ordinary. You should just stick with the classic.
