I hate remakes but this film - a remake of the first film I ever saw - was great.



I wasn't happy with some of the changes from the book and the Sidney Lumet film but all in all, Sir Kenneth Branagh and his cast looked after me and I was very, very nervous sitting in the cinema on Saturday morning. Johnny Depp plays a major league scumbag in the film and people like Daisy Ridley, Sir Derek Jacobi, Dame Judy Dench and Sir Kenneth himself are also good in their roles: Branagh's Poirot is actually quite funny.

Downside of the film: the changes and the fact that most of the supporting cast are dealt with and then discarded, like Willem Dafoe, who at first comes across as a racist ahole and then you see that it is all an act.

Please try and see it in a cinema if you can: it was shot in 65mm.*

Books will always be better than movies. Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to watch it this weekend.

And............ the critics hate it.  TongueOut

Critics don't pay money to see their movies.

I've always thought a critic should have to do something outstanding in their field before they are allowed to comment on anything. Not sure why their opinion is supposed to be more valuable than anyone elses or why people take so much notice.

Not a man I like, but I did read the back cover of Mark Kermode's biography and it said something along the lines of "In a world where 'Sex In The City 2' is a success regardless of  its reviews he does wonder about the point of movie critics."

Its about the only thing I have ever heard him say that I agree with.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
