Not for classic Poirot fans.....!!!

Rating: 6/10 (27 January 2018)

Once you've watched the classics this can't be fulfilling. I don't think it is terrible but couldn't create the magic of a slow whodunit. Like Jeremy Brett can't be surpassed as Sherlock Holmes (no offence to Mr. Cumberbatch), there's no point questioning David Suchet as the Poirot Madam Christie would've dreamt of. Mind you there's some lovely picturesque and some strong performances too but something is missing, something which keeps you bound to a murder mystery; was lacking. Kenneth Branagh, I think is a bit rigid, a bit strong. The subtleness and the mischievousness of David Suchet is what I missed may be. The plot can't be wrong as it is a classic in itself. In the end, for the newer generation it would be watchable but for the older fans who have seen David for decades scratching his little grey cells, this would never suffice....!!!
