From someone who used to inhale Agatha Christie books - the whole "he saw something the audience didn't" thing is completely a book thing. She writes her stories like that, where Hercule knows and finds out things you as the reader never get a clue about until the very end. Like "I went to XYZ and talked to ABC and they told me EFG" and you're like "oh okay, so that's what he did that day". I like that they kept that in the movie even if it compromises re-watchability.

I don't put this into the same category as a usual sequel. Lots of sequels get made because the original film, which was in no way set up to have a sequel, was so commercially successful that studios want to milk the cash cow some more. The result of this is that sequels are almost never anywhere near as good as the original (e.g. Jaws 2, Speed 2, Rambo II, etc.) but _very_ rarely they can be as good or better (e.g. Terminator 2: Judgment Day). This, however, is merely an adaptation of another novel in a long series of novels originally written by Agatha Christie. The story has been there since 1937 when the book was published. This also applies to James Bond; most of the early films were pretty close adaptations of Ian Fleming's novels. I don't think they really started to depart from Fleming's original stories until the fifth movie "You Only Live Twice." As I said, with very, very rare exceptions (again, think Terminator 2) a sequel to a movie clearly never set up to have one proved to be a good film; most of the time, sequels of this sort suck. I have noticed that when sequels are good, it is almost always because they are adapted from pre-existing material, like novels, in the case of Poirot or Bond. The Godfather Part II is so good because at least half of it is taken from material in Mario Puzo's novel that was left out of the first film. Even The Empire Strikes Back fits somewhat into this category. Geo. Lucas, intending to make sci fi movies that recalled the film serials he'd watched as a kid, had wanted to adapt Flash Gordon, but couldn't get the film rights. So instead, he had to write his own story from scratch. Accordingly, Lucas sat down and plotted at least the basic outline of the entire saga, about the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. It was just a broad outline at this point. Back in 1977, when no one could foresee that Star Wars would be a success at all, let alone become the entertainment and cultural juggernaut it became, Lucas looked at that outline he had created, and decided to make Chapter IV into his movie, because it could work as a standalone film, with no cliffhangers or loose ends, in the event the film didn’t perform well, and no sequel was ever made. But I think the Star Wars saga worked because it _was_ set up from the beginning to be just one chapter in a bigger story. And I think that's also a reason the sequel trilogy has sucked: Disney threw out Lucas' treatment for the rest of the saga, _but did not replace it with any coherent vision for the saga to take its place._ J.J. Abrams had at least _some_ idea for a trilogy (though it was unoriginal as hell), but Rian Johnson ignored it and filmed his own movie with The Last Jedi, prompting a fan backlash and Abrams came back to do damage control on the third film in the sequel trilogy. Thus, the Star Wars sequels suck for the classic reason that sequels almost always suck: there's no consistent vision for the overall story, and the studio is just churning them out to make money.
I had read "Death on the Nile" before seeing the movie, so I knew who the killer was going in, but I also know that when adapting these well known murder mysteries they sometimes change things up, even Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express is different from the original story.
I also read the book before seeing the movie and I feel like the pacing was off in the movie. There wasn’t enough time given to each character’s storyline and motives like there was in the book. Still enjoyed the movie though
@@58christiansful completely agree. They changed so much from the book it was jarring. They leave out characters and invent new ones. They leave out pieces of evidence. They didn’t even introduce the characters and give them reasonable motives. I sat rolling my eyes through most of it. Why use the name if you’re going to basically rewrite the whole story? Make your own murder mystery
It's a preference thing, but I like David Suchet performance as Hercule Poirot from the BBC show Poirot much more than the one from these movies. I feel like it's more true to the character. I recommend everyone to check that show out.
BBC Poirot is such a nostalgiafest for me. Finaly bought the complete series last year, binged it, then binged it again and about to bing it again. Love this show! Maybe Jeremy could give t a try?
@@LuisSierra42 totally agree, he is a masterful world builder. The cinematography is amazing every frame/shot is art to behold. Especially with this one a mix of noir and Art Deco 40s style, bold and stylish. Besides solid performance from it’s ensemble cast , It really deserves credit and attention
My main problem with Murder on the Orient Express was that I as an audience member had absolutely no chance to piece the thing together myself as the main character just had information that I didn't. If you're saying the sequel is at least a little less like that, I might give it a chance.
For MotOE It takes a few repeated viewings to piece all the details together as they are mostly inferred and not revealed consecutively. I expect no less for this one although I've read the books already so I know (vaguely remembered) who are the culprits.
It's quite possible to work it out not too far into it, but if you don't pay attention or miss when they're inspecting the body and the 'wounds' description, you're mostly shit out of luck.
While a love Kenneth Branagh, the Masterpiece Theater version of Hercule Poirot, played by actor David Suchet, is so iconic that I have a really hard time seeing anyone else in that role. Nevertheless, I know that I will purchase this edition of Death on the Nile for my personal streaming library. Agatha Christie novels are so well known that a significant segment of the audience will already know the story prior to watching this movie. Even though I expect this is a little less of the case with today’s less well read audience. For me the enjoyment of a story like this is in the performances, seeing a well loved story brought to life and the exotic locations. Another modern murder mystery that I think was really well done is Knives Out. I look forward to the sequel of that movie with another interesting detective that I hope will be making many appearances in that role.
I’m sure the 2019 monthly vlogs were a lot to keep up with but I would love to see something like that return to the channel. It doesn’t have to be as big of a thing as that was. You have one of the best personalities on RUclips. I, along with many others I’m sure, would watch something that showed that off
Wow, Jeremy threw a red herring here. Usually when he says "What I liked about this movie..." you know it's gonna be "a better time if you're drunk" or lower. He oughtta be a murder mystery writer!
@@edvaira6891 For me, Finney is still the best Poirot in Murder on Orient Express. Suchet's version was horrible - and I LOVE Suchet's Poirot. I actually know majority of his films by heart, scene by scene. But his Orient Express was bad. Even Branagh's was better.
I'm so ready for this and I know I will like it. Hopefully Kenneth Branagh continues with these. Maybe "Evil under the sun" next? ..or "Murder in Mesopotamia"? ..or both? 😉
I actually preferred Murder on the Orient Express, it was more claustrophobic and the fact that they were ALL guilty was something I haven't seen. If you have, it's probably because what you saw was inspired by Agatha Christie, who came up with a lot of these tropes.
I was mixed about Branagh's version of Mystery on The Orient Express but I might check this one out. I really like the Peter Ustinov version of Death on the Nile so it should be a fun comparison (my favorite Poirot adaptation overall so far is the 1974 Sidney Lumet version of Murder on the Orient Express).
To me, Scream 1996, and Scream 4 (I do like the new one but the killers in 4 are the best next to the OG) are (And Hateful Eight is also a good one) the pinnacle of a re-watchable murder mystery. It's INCREDIBLY FASCINATING to watch those movies and try and figure out who was killing who, who was on the phone, and just in general think "WOW these sons of bitches are just gonna murk all their friends without a second thought and here they are just actin' like nothin' happened. Insane."
Not that I know of, and I doubt studios would be keen on doing it these days. Clues multiple ending gimmick didn't sit well with audiences at the time of theatrical release. It was only after television and home releases (where all three endings were played in succession) that people were happy with it.
Albert Finney was the definitive Poirot,it is unfortune that he decided not to reprise the character for "Death On the Nile". However,Peter Ustinov wasn't quite as good,but a peg or two over David Suchet ! The rumour is that if they produce another film, based on the returns of
Ustinov's can. And does. And I'm saying it as the guy who worships Suchet's Poirot and knows every his movie by heart. Suchet failed in the two most important stories - Orient Express and Nile. Both Finney and Ustinov, respectively, gave better versions of these two stories.
Would've loved some comparison to the 1978 movie. For Murder on the Orient Express, I really loved the original movie and I found the new one fell pretty flat in comparison. For Death on the Nile, I didn't like the old one just as much, so I see room for improvement here.
The 1978 one is kind of a slog, by modern standards. The story is great (because it was written by Agatha Christie) but the pacing in the 1978 version really drags, in the beginning half. All they needed to do with this is add a bit of modern gloss, and tighten the 2h 20min runtime. But I know the killer by looking at the trailer, so it's kinda pointless for me. Cool for the kids I guess
@@shredd5705 : The slow Gemütlichkeit of old movie is by historic point of view more accurate, similar to last Sherlock Holmes movies, they had for ,Victorian Age" to much ,Action'.
@@brittakriep2938 It has nothing to do with "historic point of view". History is full of action packed wars, where acting slowly would get you killed, since ancient Rome. However, I didn't say it needs more action (I absolutely hate how they made Sherlock Holmes into an action hero), I said the pacing sucks and it's a badly made movie. "Rear Window" by Hitchcock is over 20 years older and has excellent, tight pacing, that grips you from the start and never lets go. No wasted scene, now wasted line of dialogue. The 1978 movie had sloppy screenplay, with too much downtime that doesn't progress the original Agatha Christie story in any way. It picks up pace only towards the end, and is way too long. From what I heard, this remake repeats the same mistakes, unable to tighten the screenplay notably. It just added some modern gloss, but didn't improve on the 1978 movie
@@shredd5705 : What i, my english is not so good, wanted to say in my comment, is the following thing. The story Death on Nile ( Tod auf dem Nil) plays in 1930s Egypt. It is no war/ rebellion, but a murder/ crime case not in a large , modern town in Europe / USA, but in rural Egypt, with no ( for the time) modern policeforce involved. So one private detective investigates, the persons are limited in number, the invidents are happening on ship or in context of journey. Such an investigation is usually a work with no action, so for this reason, i think the ,slow speed' of older movies is not wrong. But i am in my mid fifties and conservative, for younger people, used to watch movies in modern style, it is perhaps to boring.
I was introduced to Poirot through the original Death on the Nile film from the 70’s. It was on quite a bit in the early days of HBO. I’d never seen Murder on the Orient Express before 2017. When I did; I loved what Branagh did both with his performance and his direction. And it continued when I saw Death on the Nile two and a half months ago. I feel he is reintroducing this character, and the works of Agatha Christie, to a new generation of film fans who are also fans of classic literature.
I have already seen Death on the Nile from the original and the David Suchet version, both are excellent and I can't wait to see this one too. Death on the Nile is still one of the, if not the, best murder mysteries ever written
Well I for one am looking forward to the inevitable Christieverse, culminating in a movie where we finally get to see Poirot work with Ms Marple, Superintendent Battle, Parker Pyne, Tommy & Tuppence Beresford and the mysterious Mr. Quin at last!
Re: 4:22, that's what made Sherlock (the TV series) great. Especially the first season. It showed everything the detective saw with all the clues, messages, and hints he received. Doesn't mean you'd figure out what he was thinking though.
Look... I DO love Kenneth Branagh. I love when he directs or when he acts. But Poirot is David Suchet. He became the perfect embodiment of the character. I did not see the movie yet but Kenneth let me down big time in the previous movie. Poirot wins with his gray cells. Not by wrestling and action. You can't improve upon perfection (the David Suchet version)
Amen and then some! I watched the BBC episodes with my grandmother on American PBS. Suchet's Murder on the Orient Express surpasses Kenneth Branagh's by leagues, and I liked Kenneth Branagh's version.
As much as I love David Suchet as Poirot, he doesn't have to be Poirot for it to be enjoyable for me. My favorite Orient Express movie is the one with Albert Finney. It just works better for me with that cast and script. I also enjoyed Peter Ustinov as Poirot. So many different ways to interpret such an iconic character. Looking forward to Death on the Nile.
Well there could be many sequels as Agatha Christie wrote many books with the character Hercule Poirot, but this and Orient Express are the most well known and have already had movie versions made in the 1970’s
I kind of want to check it out just because of Russel Brand, it's been a while since I saw him in a movie, but he's a good actor and he's been killing it on RUclips lately
I've been waiting for this movie to come out!!! Ever since they remade the Oriental Express; I loved the old Death on the Nile along w/ any other Agatha Christie novels made into movies, like The Crooked House
I enjoyed it. It could be a little slow at times and there were some scenes that just didn't need to be there. I read the book a year or so ago so I knew the story and who did it. I still thought it was fun.
A great scifi show with some mystery but also equal measures of action and infinite rewatchability is The Expanse. Would love your take on it! Please review it!
As a massive David Suchet Poirot fan I can say both of these new ones are fine, this one was an okay watch (especially on 5 dollar tuesdays at my local movie tavern) this one is a bit slow at the start and he really portrays poirot not as much as poirot but just a detective, but still overall it was worth the watch
David Suchet IS Hercule Poirot, go watch the versions with him, it would be cool of you did a review or a comparison. And watch the 70s Orient Express too. tell us what you think.
I feel like I can skip this one, since I've seen the Peter Ustinov movie, which had the added bonus to include the great David Niven as a second investigator.

2:34 In fact, this movie was shot on glorious 65mm Kodak FILM STOCK, that´s why it looks so great. By the way, Branagh was of the first to use 65mm film again in movies after a long hiatus. His 1996 "Hamlet" was shot in 65mm film.
Jeremy watches Russell, that tells me that he doesn't buy the crap that we're fed by government and media. You sir have just become my favourite human.
I already know who did it. I've seen the Peter Ustinov version dozens of times. When I saw Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer on the cast I immediately knew what roles they were playing.
Are you really this evil??? I ALSO saw Ustinov's version million times. Also Suchet's. Also read book. But why would you spoil it to someone who did not?
haven't watched this but David Suchet is amazing as Poirot i saw his version of this years ago i remember Emily blunt was on it too so definitely check that out too
W/ all the crap about some of the actors, it’s so refreshing you focused solely on the movie & not the scandals that this movie has faced (that’s all I’ve been hearing about this movie. & not even the directly behind the scenes of this movie). I still don’t know if I would watch this movie, but maybe if it’s good enough from everyone else perhaps. But I do now want to finally watch the first one! 😉
Just watched the movie, no spoilers, it was a great film kept me on the edge on my seat. Great film 10/10. Kenneth Branagh and Gal Gadot nailed their parts absolutely well done!
I didn't watch murder on the orient express because I love David Suchet so much in the BBC series Poirot that I don't think they can improve on it. I probably won't watch this one either, this episode in the BBC series was amazing. I just don't think they can improve on the series. Other than that Branagh looks ridiculous as Poirot compared to.Suchet.
I'll catch this movie when it's available streaming. I suspect I won't like it as well as I do the 1978 adaptation with Peter Ustinov as Poirot, as from what I've read the '78 version is a more faithful adaptation of the novel. For that matter, Branagh's adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express was a movie that I enjoyed, but not as well as I liked the 1974 version (which again, was a closer adaptation of the original novel). The soundtrack is really going to have to be something else to top the awesome main title theme that Nino Rota wrote for the '78 film too. But, hopefully the film will surprise me in a good way. Time will tell.
I think the BBC Sherlock is the ONLY one of these types of investigations that put you in the mind of the person doing the investigating. Judging by Jeremy's complaint, that sounds like something they should have incorporated into this movie.
@@unvergebeneid yup, someone clearly haven't seen enough detective mystery series. If u want a very recent n good detective portrayal, Netflix Harlan corben series, the innocent. The detective takes notes during questioning, wear sensible clothes n make sensible, rational deduction with the evidence she had.
Having just come out of a second viewing of this movie, I think it definitely has rewatchability. The movie does show you everything you need to know ahead of time, but if you don't already know what to look for, it's gonna fly over your head. The fun of the second viewing comes from knowing what to look for and seeing that yes, in fact, everything was set up ahead of time.
I felt like the first movie in this series was the perfect movie for a flight. Not the best movie in the world but beautifully shot, fun, and entertaining. I'm on the fence on if I would go see this in theatres but I'll for sure be watching it when it comes to streaming
@@megamikethemovieman Not yet, but once it comes to streaming I'm gonna watch. The next time I hit the theatres will be strictly reserved now for Batman lol It looks amazing
@@ABlackMan9 super excited for the Batman, doing a whole series on my channel where I review all the Batman movies leading up to the new release. You should check it out my friend, you would enjoy!
SPOILERS FOR BOTH MOVIES AND THEIR ORIGINAL BOOKS I personally like Murder on the Orient Express better because of the way it elevates the original books. The original book ends with Hercule Poirot revealing how all the passengers participated in the murder and everyone simply agrees that they're not going to report that to the police; there's no real emotion behind it besides it's the right thing to do in this case. In the movie, Poirot tests the characters to see if any of them actually deserves "justice", but in his words "what is justice here?". With his OCD tendencies and his staunch black and white view of things, you know that this would eat at him. As he says "He must learn to live with the imbalance". You can see it does a number on him emotionally. Now of course with Death on the Nile, it does a number on him emotionally too, but that's because they changed who got killed. Bouc is not a character in the book (in fact there are a number of characters who are pretty much just combined into one). Three passengers died before the murderers were revealed, yes, but of them Poirot seems to be the most affected by Linet because it was a tragedy he saw coming and couldn't stop. They tried to make it more personal to Poirot and clearly it affected him here. The original book the tragedy of five people dying seemed to be along the lines of "What was the point?" And to the movies' credit, it doesn't end on a simple note. Poirot has been changed by it. I also don't think the final murder/suicide was all that good compared to the original. In the book, Jacqueline made her confession and it's heavily implied that she and Simon Doyle will turn themselves in willingly. The next morning, as the police are arresting them and taking them off the boat, Jacqueline pulls out a gun, shoots Simon while he's on the stretcher and then kills herself. It's so sudden but it implies this devious planning behind it, rather than a spur of the moment like in the movie. I personally think the movie did it just to get the shot of five bodies being removed from the boat The one thing about both of these books, it tends to be fairly easy to figure out who the killers are; the mystery instead is how they did it. Murder on the Orient Express. As soon as you realize how many people on the train had a connection to the family that was the motive for the murder, you realize that this couldn't have been a coincidence and it had to be conspiracy. Death on the Nile, the scene where Jacqueline shoots Simon has a build up to it that is so on the nose of how it's staged; they're clearly trying to get the timing right, that it's practically in your face that they are the killers. The fact that they both seem to have alibis however is where it's confusing. In both cases the mystery is less about who it was rather than how it was done
I heard that Agatha Christie did NOT like Albert Finney’s mustache in the first Murder on the Orient Express, but loved Peter Ustinov’s take on the character.
I've already seen 2 different adaptations of Death on the Nile (Suchet, Ustinov), also read the book, and I can't wait to see this one! :) So far, Ustinov's one is the best, but we'll see.

He is certainly the closest that live action has come.
David Suchet is the best Poirot
My late Mom loved him as Poirot!
BBC Poirot is such a nostalgiafest for me. Finaly bought the complete series last year, binged it, then binged it again and about to bing it again. Love this show! Maybe Jeremy could give t a try?
Suchet is Poirot. Branagh isn't even close I am afraid.
Nightmare Alley, please review it Jeremy. It’s a gorgeous cinematic experience
There is not a single Del Toro movie with a bad cinematography or an average set design
@@LuisSierra42 totally agree, he is a masterful world builder. The cinematography is amazing every frame/shot is art to behold. Especially with this one a mix of noir and Art Deco 40s style, bold and stylish. Besides solid performance from it’s ensemble cast , It really deserves credit and attention
I already got that reviewed covered for you Zack, let me know how I did reviewing it?
But the movie is boring.
@@zsomborbudai7473 I could see that, let me know if I did it Justice in my review of it my friend?
Can't believe this is the same person that played Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter
My main problem with Murder on the Orient Express was that I as an audience member had absolutely no chance to piece the thing together myself as the main character just had information that I didn't. If you're saying the sequel is at least a little less like that, I might give it a chance.
Never watched it but wow that sounds infuriating. While an obvious mystery it's not fun, but it's even less fun when they don't play fair.
Bruh I guessed the murderer easily in that movie
@@firekingM101 murderers
For MotOE It takes a few repeated viewings to piece all the details together as they are mostly inferred and not revealed consecutively. I expect no less for this one although I've read the books already so I know (vaguely remembered) who are the culprits.
It's quite possible to work it out not too far into it, but if you don't pay attention or miss when they're inspecting the body and the 'wounds' description, you're mostly shit out of luck.
While a love Kenneth Branagh, the Masterpiece Theater version of Hercule Poirot, played by actor David Suchet, is so iconic that I have a really hard time seeing anyone else in that role. Nevertheless, I know that I will purchase this edition of Death on the Nile for my personal streaming library. Agatha Christie novels are so well known that a significant segment of the audience will already know the story prior to watching this movie. Even though I expect this is a little less of the case with today’s less well read audience. For me the enjoyment of a story like this is in the performances, seeing a well loved story brought to life and the exotic locations. Another modern murder mystery that I think was really well done is Knives Out. I look forward to the sequel of that movie with another interesting detective that I hope will be making many appearances in that role.
Why not Tom Selleck? Became famous as detectve Magnum, had a moustache then and has Hercule Poirot age now :-))
I’m sure the 2019 monthly vlogs were a lot to keep up with but I would love to see something like that return to the channel. It doesn’t have to be as big of a thing as that was. You have one of the best personalities on RUclips. I, along with many others I’m sure, would watch something that showed that off
@@SynthwaveWine OMG THAT WAS SO GOOD
“Enough champagne to feel denial” - Gal Gadot
Wow, Jeremy threw a red herring here. Usually when he says "What I liked about this movie..." you know it's gonna be "a better time if you're drunk" or lower. He oughtta be a murder mystery writer!
Will be interesting to see. Did you ever see David Suchet as Poirot? That version is just....Godmode compared to e.g. the Orient Express movie.
And Suchet's version of this had Emily Blunt as the victim!
Yeah, but Branagh is Second-best…Light years better than Albert Finney’s or Peter Ustinov’s
I believe Suchet's portrayal of Poirot (among other characters he's played) earned him a knighthood.
@@edvaira6891 For me, Finney is still the best Poirot in Murder on Orient Express.
Suchet's version was horrible - and I LOVE Suchet's Poirot. I actually know majority of his films by heart, scene by scene. But his Orient Express was bad. Even Branagh's was better.
@@edvaira6891 Not really.
this is why you can watch almost every Columbo episode a thousand times but Death On The Nile with Brannagh only once.
I'm so ready for this and I know I will like it. Hopefully Kenneth Branagh continues with these. Maybe "Evil under the sun" next? ..or "Murder in Mesopotamia"? ..or both? 😉
I would love him to do Evil Under the Sun!
"The ABC Murders"
I actually preferred Murder on the Orient Express, it was more claustrophobic and the fact that they were ALL guilty was something I haven't seen. If you have, it's probably because what you saw was inspired by Agatha Christie, who came up with a lot of these tropes.
“He was an actor now he’s a RUclipsr”
*Brits knowing he was/is a stand-up comedian above everything else*
Yeah I always saw him as a comedian that happened to do a few movies on the side like how Jack Whitehall is turning out
What about Big Brother host? 😉
I remember when he was the annoying skinny guy interviewing ravers on MTV. Now he does conspiracy theories for alpha male American hipsters
@@tenaciousdean6179 Jack Whitehall has never been a comedian ;)
I was telling myself all that film that i know him. But could not remember from where...
I was mixed about Branagh's version of Mystery on The Orient Express but I might check this one out. I really like the Peter Ustinov version of Death on the Nile so it should be a fun comparison (my favorite Poirot adaptation overall so far is the 1974 Sidney Lumet version of Murder on the Orient Express).
To me, Scream 1996, and Scream 4 (I do like the new one but the killers in 4 are the best next to the OG) are (And Hateful Eight is also a good one) the pinnacle of a re-watchable murder mystery. It's INCREDIBLY FASCINATING to watch those movies and try and figure out who was killing who, who was on the phone, and just in general think "WOW these sons of bitches are just gonna murk all their friends without a second thought and here they are just actin' like nothin' happened. Insane."
Glad to have a fellow Hateful Eight fan! Love that movie so much.
I watched the new Scream for a 2nd time and knowing who the killers are it was interesting to see the those actors reacting to things.
Would Se7en or Clue count?
There are so many clues throughout scream that you miss the first or second time. It’s a really good whodunit even though it’s a horror movie
If your a fan of Scream, I’ve done lots of Scream videos on my channel if you would like to check them out?
We need another movie like/a sequel to Clue, has any other murder mystery done multiple endings before?
Not that I know of, and I doubt studios would be keen on doing it these days. Clues multiple ending gimmick didn't sit well with audiences at the time of theatrical release. It was only after television and home releases (where all three endings were played in succession) that people were happy with it.
But Tim Curry is too old now
@Neil Deep they were doing a remake with Ryan Reynolds but I think they cancelled /shelved that movie
Albert Finney was the definitive Poirot,it is unfortune that he decided not to reprise the character for "Death On the Nile". However,Peter Ustinov wasn't quite as good,but a peg or two over David Suchet ! The rumour is that if they produce another film, based on the returns of
Do yourself a favor and go watch the David Suchet version of Death on the Nile. No other adaptation could match it.
The Peter Ustinov one can.
Ustinov's can. And does. And I'm saying it as the guy who worships Suchet's Poirot and knows every his movie by heart.
Suchet failed in the two most important stories - Orient Express and Nile. Both Finney and Ustinov, respectively, gave better versions of these two stories.
Usual suspects is one of my favorite murder mysteries
Mine too!
You realize that 90% of the questions asked in that movie, are left unanswered.
Would've loved some comparison to the 1978 movie. For Murder on the Orient Express, I really loved the original movie and I found the new one fell pretty flat in comparison. For Death on the Nile, I didn't like the old one just as much, so I see room for improvement here.
The 1978 one is kind of a slog, by modern standards. The story is great (because it was written by Agatha Christie) but the pacing in the 1978 version really drags, in the beginning half. All they needed to do with this is add a bit of modern gloss, and tighten the 2h 20min runtime. But I know the killer by looking at the trailer, so it's kinda pointless for me. Cool for the kids I guess
@@shredd5705 Disagree.
@@shredd5705 : The slow Gemütlichkeit of old movie is by historic point of view more accurate, similar to last Sherlock Holmes movies, they had for ,Victorian Age" to much ,Action'.
@@brittakriep2938 It has nothing to do with "historic point of view". History is full of action packed wars, where acting slowly would get you killed, since ancient Rome. However, I didn't say it needs more action (I absolutely hate how they made Sherlock Holmes into an action hero), I said the pacing sucks and it's a badly made movie. "Rear Window" by Hitchcock is over 20 years older and has excellent, tight pacing, that grips you from the start and never lets go. No wasted scene, now wasted line of dialogue. The 1978 movie had sloppy screenplay, with too much downtime that doesn't progress the original Agatha Christie story in any way. It picks up pace only towards the end, and is way too long. From what I heard, this remake repeats the same mistakes, unable to tighten the screenplay notably. It just added some modern gloss, but didn't improve on the 1978 movie
@@shredd5705 : What i, my english is not so good, wanted to say in my comment, is the following thing. The story Death on Nile ( Tod auf dem Nil) plays in 1930s Egypt. It is no war/ rebellion, but a murder/ crime case not in a large , modern town in Europe / USA, but in rural Egypt, with no ( for the time) modern policeforce involved. So one private detective investigates, the persons are limited in number, the invidents are happening on ship or in context of journey. Such an investigation is usually a work with no action, so for this reason, i think the ,slow speed' of older movies is not wrong. But i am in my mid fifties and conservative, for younger people, used to watch movies in modern style, it is perhaps to boring.
I was introduced to Poirot through the original Death on the Nile film from the 70’s. It was on quite a bit in the early days of HBO. I’d never seen Murder on the Orient Express before 2017. When I did; I loved what Branagh did both with his performance and his direction. And it continued when I saw Death on the Nile two and a half months ago. I feel he is reintroducing this character, and the works of Agatha Christie, to a new generation of film fans who are also fans of classic literature.
I have already seen Death on the Nile from the original and the David Suchet version, both are excellent and I can't wait to see this one too. Death on the Nile is still one of the, if not the, best murder mysteries ever written
That title usually goes to The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
@@Dacre1000 I just got done with After the Funeral and it is also a contender
Well I for one am looking forward to the inevitable Christieverse, culminating in a movie where we finally get to see Poirot work with Ms Marple, Superintendent Battle, Parker Pyne, Tommy & Tuppence Beresford and the mysterious Mr. Quin at last!
Re: 4:22, that's what made Sherlock (the TV series) great. Especially the first season. It showed everything the detective saw with all the clues, messages, and hints he received. Doesn't mean you'd figure out what he was thinking though.
So Jeremy watches Russel Brand… interesting.
Well RB is interesting and appealing for many people
Russel Brand is basically Tim Pool with a soul
Look... I DO love Kenneth Branagh. I love when he directs or when he acts. But Poirot is David Suchet. He became the perfect embodiment of the character. I did not see the movie yet but Kenneth let me down big time in the previous movie. Poirot wins with his gray cells. Not by wrestling and action. You can't improve upon perfection (the David Suchet version)
Amen and then some! I watched the BBC episodes with my grandmother on American PBS. Suchet's Murder on the Orient Express surpasses Kenneth Branagh's by leagues, and I liked Kenneth Branagh's version.
As much as I love David Suchet as Poirot, he doesn't have to be Poirot for it to be enjoyable for me. My favorite Orient Express movie is the one with Albert Finney. It just works better for me with that cast and script. I also enjoyed Peter Ustinov as Poirot. So many different ways to interpret such an iconic character. Looking forward to Death on the Nile.
I love the Albert Finney version as well. The cast was amazing and the music was beautiful. I have yet to read the novel for it, but I want to.
@@ff6girl It's a great Christie novel. Highly enjoyable
“Kenneth Branagh earns every proverbial teabag.”
Well, that quote needs to be on the poster.
I did NOT realize this was a sequel until just now.
Kids these days don't know their Agatha Christie anymore it would seem ;)
@@unvergebeneid lol obviously apparently not.
@@unvergebeneid They are setting up the Agatha Christie Cinematic Universe
Mystery stories like this are usually self contained anyway
Well there could be many sequels as Agatha Christie wrote many books with the character Hercule Poirot, but this and Orient Express are the most well known and have already had movie versions made in the 1970’s
I kind of want to check it out just because of Russel Brand, it's been a while since I saw him in a movie, but he's a good actor and he's been killing it on RUclips lately
That Carmen San Diego reference though!! Lol Can't wait for this. Loved Orient Express!!
It would be so cool if murder mystery movies released different endings to the cinemas simultaneously lol the internet would go wild
@@RandoLePerson it didn't fail. In fact it's hailed as a classic nowadays because of the different ending it had....
Pretty wild to see people talking about Poirot! I feel like he's an underrated legend, especially David Suchet's version of him.
Crazy to think we're getting Knives Out 2 later this year.
The original Death on the Nile from 1978 starring Peter Ustinov was terrific and one of the few murder mystery films with good rewatchability.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot - The Best Hercule Poirot
One and only.
I'm only interested in it to see if it matches up to the Peter Ustinov original.
ha haha
Basically this movie is the 98 cent knives out 2 since both are on a boat.
This story is older than director of Knives out
This is the OG boat murder mystery.
I've been waiting for this movie to come out!!! Ever since they remade the Oriental Express; I loved the old Death on the Nile along w/ any other Agatha Christie novels made into movies, like The Crooked House
Finally they released it!
Does anyone else think Hercule's mustache is over the top?
That's one of Poirot's main atributes. He has weird mustache that instantly gets attention.
@@dasik84 I know, it's just that I envisioned it differently. 🤔
@@laviniasnow4494 Oh, then I absolutely agree.
yeah thats a pass for me... there is only one Hercule Poirot. in my world and thats David Suchet...
Same here.
I enjoyed it. It could be a little slow at times and there were some scenes that just didn't need to be there. I read the book a year or so ago so I knew the story and who did it. I still thought it was fun.
A great scifi show with some mystery but also equal measures of action and infinite rewatchability is The Expanse. Would love your take on it! Please review it!
Knives Out is probably my favourite murder mystery, it’s actually a masterpiece
That and “And then there were none” also by Agatha Christie
Loved Knives Out ❤️
A masterpiece? Really? It's a good movie but don't you think masterpiece is a bit much?
I liked Brick a bit more.
As a massive David Suchet Poirot fan I can say both of these new ones are fine, this one was an okay watch (especially on 5 dollar tuesdays at my local movie tavern) this one is a bit slow at the start and he really portrays poirot not as much as poirot but just a detective, but still overall it was worth the watch
I really liked Knives Out and Orient Express. Really looking forward to this one 😀
Awesome movies. To bad the got Gal Gadot in this one.
David Suchet IS Hercule Poirot, go watch the versions with him, it would be cool of you did a review or a comparison. And watch the 70s Orient Express too. tell us what you think.
I feel like I can skip this one, since I've seen the Peter Ustinov movie, which had the added bonus to include the great David Niven as a second investigator.
2:34 In fact, this movie was shot on glorious 65mm Kodak FILM STOCK, that´s why it looks so great. By the way, Branagh was of the first to use 65mm film again in movies after a long hiatus. His 1996 "Hamlet" was shot in 65mm film.
*I like Murder Mysteries like "Knives Out". That one was compelling and it had interesting characters.*
nah. it's sucked.
This, like his
Orient Express, was shot on wide format film and is getting a 70mm release here in NY. That's why it looks so good.
Jeremy watches Russell, that tells me that he doesn't buy the crap that we're fed by government and media. You sir have just become my favourite human.
Holy shit I got nervous there lol my notification said " Jeremy Jahns Death......" lmao
I already know who did it. I've seen the Peter Ustinov version dozens of times. When I saw Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer on the cast I immediately knew what roles they were playing.
Are you really this evil???
I ALSO saw Ustinov's version million times. Also Suchet's. Also read book. But why would you spoil it to someone who did not?
@@dasik84 I didn't spoil anything. Where did I spoil??
@@dasik84 They just fit the characters. Nobody has spoiled anything.
I agree, it looked so vintage. Reminded me of a great epic from the golden age of Hollywood.
haven't watched this but David Suchet is amazing as Poirot i saw his version of this years ago i remember Emily blunt was on it too so definitely check that out too
Nice Russell Brand impression! (Good to see you have watched his channel).
The 2010s: Where we make every historical movie as dull and dingy as possible so everyone knows this is THE PRIMITIVE PAST!
I think David Suchet is one of the best Hercule Poirot ever to be on screen.
W/ all the crap about some of the actors, it’s so refreshing you focused solely on the movie & not the scandals that this movie has faced (that’s all I’ve been hearing about this movie. & not even the directly behind the scenes of this movie). I still don’t know if I would watch this movie, but maybe if it’s good enough from everyone else perhaps. But I do now want to finally watch the first one! 😉
What scandals?
@@Theocracy8 Armie Hammer's allegations, Letitia Wright being too openly anti-vaccine. Its an easy google on all of this.
Aww i love that Jeremy showed appreciation for Russell Brand!!
Just watched the movie, no spoilers, it was a great film kept me on the edge on my seat. Great film 10/10. Kenneth Branagh and Gal Gadot nailed their parts absolutely well done!
Bruh, that missing paint line ruins the film. Gives away whats going on immediately.
Not sure about Gal Gadot, she was ok but the rest of the cast were really good.
You took me back with the Carmen San Diego reference 😄😄
I’ve been really excited for this review!!
That part about Russel going in with 'Hello you 4.8 million wonders' is just marvelous!
I didn't watch murder on the orient express because I love David Suchet so much in the BBC series Poirot that I don't think they can improve on it. I probably won't watch this one either, this episode in the BBC series was amazing. I just don't think they can improve on the series. Other than that Branagh looks ridiculous as Poirot compared to.Suchet.
I'll catch this movie when it's available streaming. I suspect I won't like it as well as I do the 1978 adaptation with Peter Ustinov as Poirot, as from what I've read the '78 version is a more faithful adaptation of the novel. For that matter, Branagh's adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express was a movie that I enjoyed, but not as well as I liked the 1974 version (which again, was a closer adaptation of the original novel). The soundtrack is really going to have to be something else to top the awesome main title theme that Nino Rota wrote for the '78 film too. But, hopefully the film will surprise me in a good way. Time will tell.
The fact that Wonder Woman is in this movie is the reason I'm hyped!
I can see you have a thing for the barely able to act
@@ryckarduhryckarduh180 Gal Gadot is a fine actress. She's no Meryl Streep but she gets the job done.
@@vetarlittorf1807 she's not a dummy, I'll give her that, but she can barely emote, she pretty much reads lines and not much else
@@ryckarduhryckarduh180 Oh she can emote fine. It's just that she sometimes delivers lines awkwardly. But she makes up for that with charm.
I'm watching for Russell Brand alone.
*YES FINALLY* can't believe this is actually in cinemas !!!
Seeing it this Wednesday night ❤️
I saw the original as a kid and this story has always stuck in my head. If the story stays the same then at the end you're like="F-ing no way!"
I think the BBC Sherlock is the ONLY one of these types of investigations that put you in the mind of the person doing the investigating. Judging by Jeremy's complaint, that sounds like something they should have incorporated into this movie.
Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock kinda did too
@@parkerok4286 Try Jeremy Brett, it's an older Holmes series, but that was Holmes from the books, 100%.
And I think you haven't seen _nearly_ enough murder mysteries to be using the word "only" here.
@@unvergebeneid Fair point ;) Inspector Morse, A touch of Frost, Midsomer Murders just to name a few. My favorite being, Waking the Dead.
@@unvergebeneid yup, someone clearly haven't seen enough detective mystery series. If u want a very recent n good detective portrayal, Netflix Harlan corben series, the innocent. The detective takes notes during questioning, wear sensible clothes n make sensible, rational deduction with the evidence she had.
All this made me think of was how much I hope Knives Out 2 is as good as the first.
Jeremy should shave head and beard at 2 million
That shout out to Russell Brand awesome. Jeremy is one of the 4.9 million.
I think Columbo is a bit better of a detective as a character, but these movies are very entertaining
To be fair that's how Poirot novels are written. We know from his reactions when he notices something but we don't know what he notices
Can’t wait for this movie!
Having just come out of a second viewing of this movie, I think it definitely has rewatchability. The movie does show you everything you need to know ahead of time, but if you don't already know what to look for, it's gonna fly over your head. The fun of the second viewing comes from knowing what to look for and seeing that yes, in fact, everything was set up ahead of time.
I felt like the first movie in this series was the perfect movie for a flight. Not the best movie in the world but beautifully shot, fun, and entertaining. I'm on the fence on if I would go see this in theatres but I'll for sure be watching it when it comes to streaming
You will like how this movie is filmed then, have you seen it Veno?
@@megamikethemovieman Not yet, but once it comes to streaming I'm gonna watch. The next time I hit the theatres will be strictly reserved now for Batman lol It looks amazing

Jeremy are you watching Reacher on Amazon Prime if so what are your thoughts?
Russel brand impersonation was spot on btw 😂
SPOILERS FOR BOTH MOVIES AND THEIR ORIGINAL BOOKS
I personally like Murder on the Orient Express better because of the way it elevates the original books. The original book ends with Hercule Poirot revealing how all the passengers participated in the murder and everyone simply agrees that they're not going to report that to the police; there's no real emotion behind it besides it's the right thing to do in this case. In the movie, Poirot tests the characters to see if any of them actually deserves "justice", but in his words "what is justice here?". With his OCD tendencies and his staunch black and white view of things, you know that this would eat at him. As he says "He must learn to live with the imbalance". You can see it does a number on him emotionally.
Now of course with Death on the Nile, it does a number on him emotionally too, but that's because they changed who got killed. Bouc is not a character in the book (in fact there are a number of characters who are pretty much just combined into one). Three passengers died before the murderers were revealed, yes, but of them Poirot seems to be the most affected by Linet because it was a tragedy he saw coming and couldn't stop. They tried to make it more personal to Poirot and clearly it affected him here. The original book the tragedy of five people dying seemed to be along the lines of "What was the point?" And to the movies' credit, it doesn't end on a simple note. Poirot has been changed by it. I also don't think the final murder/suicide was all that good compared to the original. In the book, Jacqueline made her confession and it's heavily implied that she and Simon Doyle will turn themselves in willingly. The next morning, as the police are arresting them and taking them off the boat, Jacqueline pulls out a gun, shoots Simon while he's on the stretcher and then kills herself. It's so sudden but it implies this devious planning behind it, rather than a spur of the moment like in the movie. I personally think the movie did it just to get the shot of five bodies being removed from the boat
The one thing about both of these books, it tends to be fairly easy to figure out who the killers are; the mystery instead is how they did it. Murder on the Orient Express. As soon as you realize how many people on the train had a connection to the family that was the motive for the murder, you realize that this couldn't have been a coincidence and it had to be conspiracy. Death on the Nile, the scene where Jacqueline shoots Simon has a build up to it that is so on the nose of how it's staged; they're clearly trying to get the timing right, that it's practically in your face that they are the killers. The fact that they both seem to have alibis however is where it's confusing. In both cases the mystery is less about who it was rather than how it was done
"Murder Mystery" with more of the "Knives Out" intensity.
I'm a sucker for a detective adventure so I'm ready to have a ball.
I heard that Agatha Christie did NOT like Albert Finney’s mustache in the first Murder on the Orient Express, but loved Peter Ustinov’s take on the character.
I've already seen 2 different adaptations of Death on the Nile (Suchet, Ustinov), also read the book, and I can't wait to see this one! :) So far, Ustinov's one is the best, but we'll see.
You're my favorite movie reviewer because each video has your rating nearly in the same spot on each video. Might I suggest a time stamp just to make it a little easier.
