The first 2 minutes of this review sound like my parents having a conversation. Especially when Joseph says “Name one ☝️” film and then Nick names more 😂😂😂😂
You know why...name recognition gets butts in seats and studios are afraid to gamble. I'm sure that goes double for Agatha Christie adaptations.... I feel like american movie goers don't really care about her (more obscure) stuff like they used to...
Hi guys! I'm a recent fan from Brazil. You do an AWESOME job! It has been a pleasure watching earlier videos from your channel - which I discovered only two weeks ago! I love Joseph's hillarious summaries, Nick's very rich observations, and both of you guys' sincerity in your reviews. They are a breath of fresh air! I would also like to thank you for giving movie spoilers. Some times they are actually quite important if a person wants to decide to watch a movie or not. And such was the case here. I had high hopes for this movies because I have been a great fan of Agagtha Christie's novels ("Death on the Nile" being one of my favorites). Seeing your review was very important because I realized Kenneth Branagh changed the plot COMPLETELY. This is not a joke. Based on what you've said, he basically changed all the main suspect characters and their backgrounds, which are actually superb in the book. All the possible motives make sense in the original story, and some of the comments the book makes about prejudice and even politics are very contemporary. Just as a comparisson, Branagh was somewhat faithful in "Murder on the Orient Express", maintaining most of the original charcters and their motivation. If it wasn't for you guys I would have watched the movie in theatres and gotten very frustrated. Perhaps I will watch one day, on streaming. That said, I highly recommend the original 1970s movie, with Peter Ustinov, and even the special episode of the Poirot series. They are both much more faithful to the original material and (specially the Ustinov version) very good movies. And please, keep making your videos! They are wonderful reviews, but you also make fantastic recommendations (I chacked Janelle Monae's "Antebellum" because of you guys!). I hope your channel gets thousands more of subscribers! All the best!
The 1978 version (with Peter Ustinov as Poirot) was brilliant where (spoiler alert) the 2 "killers" were cast and portrayed far more sympathetically and likeable so once the 'reveal' comes it was a genuine surprise and the double death/suicide at the end a tragic (almost Shakespearean) footnote. Peter Ustinov did a few more Poirot's after this, but this was probably his best (though David Suchet will forever remained unequaled in the part). Thank you for the honest review which also highlights what not to do when adapting a Christie novel from page to the screen. Michael - South Africa.
One thing I didn't like about the Ustinov version was that it went all out to give absolutely everybody a motive, which rather strained my suspension of disbelief. Sounds like this version is trying the same thing. The book, and the Suchet version, didn't do this, and were much better for it.
@@christopherhuang9501 Agree - but then 78's "Nile" was a follow up to the highly successful 1974 "Murder on the Orient Express" where everyone (with good reason) was a suspect so in a way they wanted to keep the "formula". What I love about the 78 is the style, elegance, incomparable cast, magnificent costumes by Anthony Powell and brilliantly bravado score by Nino Rota. No one could ever equal Suchet so, for me, he is in a league of his own...
Great review! Got some good laughs. And I agree on your point about how many other books could be adapted into movies, but they keep doing the same ones. It's kind of a shame.
Enjoyed this review, thx. Could you review the apocalyptic 1980s or 90s English television movie called “ Threads”? I recently watched it on Shudder and was blown away by it.
Love your honesty and hilarity in this review (as always) - would love it if you guys could (spare the time and busy schedule and) watch the '78 version and give us your take of it (and compare it against this latest attempt)
I really hate to be this person, but for ages I too was calling her "Gal" Gadot. She is Israeli, and when my bro-in-law (who is Jewish and speaks Hebrew) heard me say her name, he corrected me. In Hebrew, the Gal would be pronounced as "Gull". Just a little tidbit. Don't mean to be "that" kind of person. Your review was terrific, as usual. Signed, the Pronunciation Police :-)
More like Pronunciation Extremist than Pronunciation Police, more when yourslef say that is a mistake you used to do. What is the point of the Pronunciation of her name and the relation of the movie anyway?
You guys are awesome, great review! After watching this movie, I realized two rules that murder mysteries shouldn’t break: #1) don’t make the murderers motivations as: they’re simply psycho. (Armie didn’t need to kill Gal that early, so his motive is just psycho). And #2) don’t kill the murderers in the end. It ruins the pay of off. Plus all the awesome points you guys made.
I recommend the 2004 version with David Suchet and all his version of Poirot's adventures. Definitely s much better watch and it's British produced and not Hollywood-ized so the performance is more nuanced and realistic.
Considering the Orient Express was terrible, I'm not surprised that this one's also bad. Branagh took a tense, claustrophobic story and made it weirdly grandiose with all the mountain shots and the dramatic "last supper" scene in the train tunnel... It just didn't fit and it seems like he did the same thing here. It's such a shame 'cause Agatha Christie's whodunnits are really fun and well crafted while these movies just suck the life out of them.
@@babytoshiro7014 Glad you did, but as a fan of Agatha Christie and having seen a better version of the Orien Express in the Suchet series, I really disliked it. Also, a majority of the story is supposed to take place in an area where I live and seeing it so inccorectly shown absolutely took me out.
I had no idea Kenneth & Emma use to be married. Then I'm yelling at my phone because Nick didn't finish the thought on Kenneth cheating. I had to google who he cheated with and image my shock: Helena Bonham-carter 😮😮😮😮
Thank you so much for doing a review on this one. I was hoping you would. As a life long Agatha Christie and Poirot fan, and having seen all the adaptations of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories, I am definitely NOT going to see this movie simply because the only Poirot for me is David Suchet. Of course it's personal, but for me, he resembles the image described in the books to a tee. But I am very curious what you think of this movie 👍🏻 Kind regards from the Netherlands, Reshma.
These types of movies are supposed to be a fun watch, disappointing to hear that it wasn't. I couldn't get through Murder on the Orient Express so I didn't have high hopes on this one either.
Always appreciate y'alls insight! I think this and the 1st are just fun. I guess part of reviewing movies, y'all are supposed to overthink movies...., but he's (the detective) supposed to be slightly annoying, but super insightful and helpful, right? i didn't read the books or see any previous shows or movies before this, maybe that changes things too. My Mom had seen the original and liked this one better, but we're both really easy to entertain, haha! Kenneth Branagh was also in the 2nd Harry Potter movie, lol Y'all please have a great day! ...even tho this review is from 2 weeks ago :)
15:17 - I'm pretty sure that scar tissue doesn't grow hair very well, so if Poirot had really grown a mustache over a bad scar, it would have looked awfully patchy.
I think it’s funny when y’all don’t like a movie. I watched the Clue movie from the 80s the other day and liked it so much more. I still feel like the painting mom killed the son. Russell looked really attractive in this movie. The accents in the movie were a distraction.
You guys talked about everyone but Emma Mackey. Even though I knew from the introduction in the blues club what was happening, I think Emma was one of the few people actually trying to do a good job.
Unless the killers are completely stupid, this is an idiotic plan. When Simon and Jackie found out the greatest detective in the world was going to be one the boat, they should have canceled the plan because they would have loads of time to come up with a different plan when a detective isn’t around. Second, after Jackie fakes shooting Simon, what happens in one of the other two people picked up the gun? Their whole plan would be screwed and Simon would have no explanation for why he faked getting shot. Third, since Simon was hold the handkerchief with the red paint with his bare hand, that red paint could have so easily been transferred onto the couch or anything else he touched including the door handle of his wife’s room.
The only thing about redoing Christie book movies is Peter Ustinov; who played Perot in movie adaptations in the 1980’s. He was WONDERFUL in the role. The cast was exceptional Bette Davis, Angela Lansbury, David Niven and Dame Maggie Smith. Among others. But, to me, the real star was always Peter Ustinov. He was so funny and clever.
Yikes. Sounds like a pass to me. I agree, Nick - Christie is a goldmine of stories. They keep making the same thing over and over, and not well. I couldn't make it through the Orient Express, so unfortunately not surprised. Thank you for the review.
Thank you guys for the review, well I'm , sorry, a lot into Agatha's Hercule (ok I'm Belgium) but OMG what did they do, I hated Murder on The Orient Express and yes, yes, yes there are such a lot of less known books, which are great, by Agatha that should be made into a movie . And to be honnest I loved the 1978 version. I realy think that Mr. Branagh is making such silly caricatures of the caracters.... It's a pitty but well, I was expecting this to be honnest .....So, if one day you can try the old version, Mia Farrow was great in it . And you'll see the other Linnet Ridgeway, you will get why she's murdered..... what a b...h in the original LOL .Thanx guys !
This movie was so disappointing. As you say, they make the solution to the mystery painfully obvious. A bunch of great actors have nothing much to do. Yes, there are so many other great Christie stories to choose to adapt as well!
@@lastlime3792 it can’t be that racist. Only good looking white people were killed Lol But seriously, Agatha Christie wrote a book (a rather good one that I first read when I was 10) called ten little tiggers. Anyways, all I’m asking is for an interesting mystery and my standards are low so 🤷♂️
Richard Granados you missed how they tied and labeled racism to 3 characters in the movie.... original story had noting to do with racism, but they wrote that in for what? Movie was pretty much centered and written around a racist narrative to sell racism. Watch the older version of the move or read the book and see if you think the 2022 movie wasn’t racist.
@@lastlime3792 I knew they added the racism angle to appeal to modern audiences. Writers do this all the time for adaptations from old works, especially from ones coming from long dead European writers like Christie. Personally, I find it cheap but I liked this film because of the production quality despite the cheesy special effects and elements. Removing all the woke or unwoke elements, it was a pretty fun movie. I recently watched the new top gun and almost fell asleep.
I just finished watching the Agatha Christie's Hercules Poiroit tv series with David Suchet on streaming. It's really enjoyable to me. This movie doesn't sound like a HP mystery. I liked the old Mystery on the Orient Express. It's too bad the modern remakes aren't very good. Thanks for saving me from this movie.
Veronica Colette 0 seconds ago I’m kind of interested to see how this movie is for me...the original film Death on the Nile from 1978, that actually filmed in Egypt is one of my all time favorite movies. The cast was phenomenal - Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith...I’ve read that this new 2022 film is a lot of green screen, where the 1978 film wasn’t. Gonna see this new one over the weekend.
First off- I LOVE when u guys say “ flimsy” second, I used to think Armie Hammer was SO hot and talented but he just fell off so spectacularly. His ego. His attitude and his personal life has ruined his mystique and appeal. Another great review guys. Just adore you both !!
That’s really a Shame that Gal didn’t deliver good performance . This was her chance to be that wicked terrible Condescending woman, That gets what she wants no matter who gets hurt on the way. Not just a rich nice lady what’s the point in that🤦🏼♀️ that’s not the Character.
This seems like a big studio movie that could have been made in about 1948 but not in a good way! A lot of the scenic backgrounds are obviously computer generated, it has some interesting stuff but I give it a C+ . Again it seems like an attempt to recapture old school style filmmaking while adding some slight bits of social commentary and checking the needed casting boxes…it’s just not that well done. Not terrible but not a great movie by any means.
The movie looks great if a little too clean if that makes sense. Kenneth Brannagh has absolutely ruined Poirot as far as i am concerned. I am not a Christie purist but turning Poirot into some sort of selfdoubting, lovelorn, emo-esque semi action hero is so far from the Poirot from the novels that it is just too jarring for me.i dont mind them changing Salomé Otterbourne from a writer to a singer, that's fine. Another thing that was just too forced was the lesbian "twist". It doesnt need it, it adds nothing really.
I thought it was just me!! Gal Gadot is not a sex pot. She looks Hella awkward..I thought so in Red Notice too. She's beautiful but this ain't her lane. Stick to WW
In every other adaptation, the murderers are nowhere near as telegraphed, and the weird connections of all the other passengers don’t exist because they Sargent part of the wedding party, they just happen to be on the same Nile cruise liner
I'm a HUGE fan of the David Suchet version of Poirot, and there will never be a better portrayal. Period. I do think Branagh's Christie remakes are good, but not worth rewatching. His Poirot character is probably more true to the book, but his portrayal lacks the depth that Suchet has cultivated over many years of playing him. I have watched every Poirot movie (with Suchet) multiple times. They grow more dear each time. The movie, Murder On The Orient Express, with Suchet, is ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! I rewatch it regularly. The last scene, where Poirot walks away from the train with tears in his eyes, is sooooo powerful. You owe it to yourselves to watch this one! (WITH SUCHET!) Thank you again guys😍!
The people on the boat are not part of a wedding party, not in the Christie novel nor in the previous film versions; they are simply people taking a cruise, except for a lawyer who has been swindling the heiress and has come on board the cruise in order to get her to sign some documents. The main premise in the novel is that wherever the new couple will go, his former girl-friend will suddenly pop up to spoil things for them, and to scare the Gal Gadot character. She shoots her former lover in the leg in order to give him an alibi in his wife's murder...he could not walk so he could not have sneaked all over the boat to get to her and kill her but that too is explained by Poirot later. The best version, as in Murder on the Orient Express, was the first version.
"She's not racist, she just hates love"! hahaha Thank you Nick and Thank you Joseph I really like Nick's insight and movie knowledge. So wonderful and helpful👏👏💖 And Joseph I'm sure you seen Kenneth Branagh movies before hahaha
Arnie and Gal being frisky on the pyramid looked like Gal was an alien who put on a human suit and was trying to figure out how to move her body 😂
The first 2 minutes of this review sound like my parents having a conversation. Especially when Joseph says “Name one ☝️” film and then Nick names more 😂😂😂😂
I agree, why is he just redoing movies that were already made? Christie has so much other source material that would be amazing.
You know why...name recognition gets butts in seats and studios are afraid to gamble. I'm sure that goes double for Agatha Christie adaptations....
I feel like american movie goers don't really care about her (more obscure) stuff like they used to...
Because this is one of the greatest mysteries ever written. A better question is why did they start with Orient...one of the worst plots ever...
I enjoyed the two new movies, but I would really like to see someone to a good adaptation of Death Comes As the End.
@@alicewilloughby4318 oh that was a great book!

That’s not incorrect.
Is Kenneth the one who played Lockheart in Harry Potter?

As someone that has read every Agatha Christie novel, Kenneth Branagh is a HORRIBLE Hercule Poirot!! Just awful!!!🤢
You could figure out from the trailers who was the victim.
Great review! Got some good laughs.
And I agree on your point about how many other books could be adapted into movies, but they keep doing the same ones. It's kind of a shame.
The movie you will know is Thor. KB directed the first Marvel Thor movie. He was also the bad guy in Tenet

I wish I could watch this review, but I'm too excited to see this! Haha. I'll come back when I have.
My favorite movie was the The Mirror Cracked.
That one has one of the biggest errors in any Miss Marple film - Ms Lansbury smoked.
who did he cheat on her with?
Should've mentioned he directed the first Thor..I'm sure everyone has seen that
Must be something wrong with me but I thought this movie was fun as hellfire. I’m super confused right now.
Massively racist movie...read the book or watch the other movies and see how they ruined this version to sell racism.
@@lastlime3792 it can’t be that racist. Only good looking white people were killed

The Last One He Did Was Mediocre As Well. Sad.

I watched this on a plane 😅
First off- I LOVE when u guys say “ flimsy” second, I used to think Armie Hammer was SO hot and talented but he just fell off so spectacularly. His ego. His attitude and his personal life has ruined his mystique and appeal. Another great review guys. Just adore you both !!
He has a very beautiful face, aristocratic.
I agree, I did not like this movie. I went to Cinabistro with my Fiance, she fell asleep on it( 30 minutes in ). This movie did not need to be 2hrs+ .
That’s really a Shame that Gal didn’t deliver good performance . This was her chance to be that wicked terrible Condescending woman, That gets what she wants no matter who gets hurt on the way. Not just a rich nice lady what’s the point in that🤦🏼♀️ that’s not the Character.

Not terrible but not a great movie by any means.
The movie looks great if a little too clean if that makes sense. Kenneth Brannagh has absolutely ruined Poirot as far as i am concerned. I am not a Christie purist but turning Poirot into some sort of selfdoubting, lovelorn, emo-esque semi action hero is so far from the Poirot from the novels that it is just too jarring for me.i dont mind them changing Salomé Otterbourne from a writer to a singer, that's fine. Another thing that was just too forced was the lesbian "twist". It doesnt need it, it adds nothing really.
Well people kill for less...
So much fun.
I paused this movie twice to do other things for a few hours lol blaaah
I thought it was just me!! Gal Gadot is not a sex pot. She looks Hella awkward..I thought so in Red Notice too. She's beautiful but this ain't her lane. Stick to WW
Joseph not knowing how to pronounce Gal Gadot's last name 🙈
I was just trying to pronounce it the way she does: ruclips.net/video/nuypn381JtQ/видео.html
I hate these type of movies it suprimes me why big budget studios throw money on shit like this
In every other adaptation, the murderers are nowhere near as telegraphed, and the weird connections of all the other passengers don’t exist because they Sargent part of the wedding party, they just happen to be on the same Nile cruise liner
I'm a HUGE fan of the David Suchet version of Poirot, and there will never be a better portrayal. Period.
I do think Branagh's Christie remakes are good, but not worth rewatching. His Poirot character is probably more true to the book, but his portrayal lacks the depth that Suchet has cultivated over many years of playing him.
I have watched every Poirot movie (with Suchet) multiple times. They grow more dear each time.
The movie, Murder On The Orient Express, with Suchet, is ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! I rewatch it regularly. The last scene, where Poirot walks away from the train with tears in his eyes, is sooooo powerful.
You owe it to yourselves to watch this one! (WITH SUCHET!)
Thank you again guys😍!
Go and watch the original 1978 film instead
2022 movie was massively racist.... Good story that they ruined.
This is extremely delayed movie
If you don't know KB, you are not qualified to be Roger Ebert...
This is not the channel for you.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews , we agree on that.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews , do you at least know Roger Ebert?
No
@@fishjellyfilmreviews , Roger Ebert is the most famous movie critic in history.
The people on the boat are not part of a wedding party, not in the Christie novel nor in the previous film versions; they are simply people taking a cruise, except for a lawyer who has been swindling the heiress and has come on board the cruise in order to get her to sign some documents. The main premise in the novel is that wherever the new couple will go, his former girl-friend will suddenly pop up to spoil things for them, and to scare the Gal Gadot character. She shoots her former lover in the leg in order to give him an alibi in his wife's murder...he could not walk so he could not have sneaked all over the boat to get to her and kill her but that too is explained by Poirot later. The best version, as in Murder on the Orient Express, was the first version.
this movie sounds like a mess!!!
Why keep telling us you do not know who the director is? Look him up! He has done so many great films. Do your research!
No thanks
Why are we listening to a movie review from a guy who knows nothing about movies?
He’s never even heard of many well known movies?
Yet here we are 🤷🏾♂️
Review is too scattered and inconsistent.
You’re welcome.
"She's not racist, she just hates love"! hahaha Thank you Nick and Thank you Joseph I really like Nick's insight and movie knowledge. So wonderful and helpful👏👏💖 And Joseph I'm sure you seen Kenneth Branagh movies before hahaha
