Has Kenneth Branagh ran out of ideas?

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2018)

Seen this joke of a movie, I will not call it a "Murder on the Orient Express" remake. It does not deserve to be labeled as such. For all of those who are true Agatha Christie avid readers, fans of the beloved Hercule Poirot, it is quite clear how forced, disappointing and failed Kenneth Branagh is in his poor interpretation of this great character, even mixing a little bit of "Mr. Monk" in his desperate attempt at one of the most complex and mysterious Agatha Christie characters, Hercule Poirot. And why, Mon Dieu, why that hideous, absurd, horrendous mustachio?! I can't call it a "moustache"... I'm sure it was supposed to exhibit the character's eccentricity, but for me, it kind of turned into poor taste, and Hercule Poirot could not ever show poor taste or present such a ridiculous facial asset. It would be the death of Poirot.
In my opinion, the most memorable and the most accomplished "Hercule Poirot" will forever be David Suchet. This man, was, is and will be Hercule Poirot, he walked like Hercule Poirot, he used his "little grey cells" like Hercule Poirot should, his moustache was truly the Hercule Poirot Moustache, all of his mannerisms and little quirks were beautifully alive is David Suchet's master interpretation. Anything else will not even come close, so why would a director or actor try to top that? Has Hollywood become so devoid of original film ideas, or great scenarios?
I guess it did.
Won't even bother to discuss about the other actors interpretations, it's useless and sad.
