Incredibly disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (13 August 2018)

I am an avid Agatha Christie fan. Murder on the Orient Express is a timeless classic. It is hard to mess this up, but Branagh managed to do it.
He over played the role of Poirot. His mustache was way over top and totally distracting in every scene. There were many inconsistencies in the movie....scenes of the frozen mountain here the train is trapped in an avalanche frequently shows the cast outside without a coat, or sitting in a freight car with the side doors completely open, wind blowing their hair WITHOUT COATS or any signs of being cold; and then at the end, in the big reveal scene, Branagh WEARS A COAT!! but later briskly goes up and down narrow steps covered in 'ice' without any caution and gets inside vehicle WITHOUT A TOP...in the snow, in the mountains, in the winter.
The cast of this movie is outstanding, so it took some effort or arrogance to mess it up....but Branagh succeeded.
