Don’t waste your money on this flick … I’m sure Agatha Christie is turning over in her grave at how they’ve bastardized her story - go buy/rent the original movie version; it’s a better value for your dollar.

First half was hella slow. The ending was kinda predictable, but ended up being interesting as you watch it unfold.

Gal Gadot is truly a Wonder Woman, she will make even the most loyal of men leave their significant other

totally unbelievable, time/place/history= nothing matched. attempts to be too woke distracted from the film, the we scenes were amazing and everything went down hill from there.

First of all, I don't think anyone needed an origin story for Poirot's mustache. The explanation makes very little sense, and adds nothing to the movie. Personally I felt the movie started very slowly and the first third was a little boring. The plot was very Poirot, hinting at clues throughout and having twists at the end. Some of the CGI also felt a bit unpolished. The movie was adequately enjoyable but not a must-watch.

Beautifully shot scenes whenever they are at beautiful locations … though it wasn’t the movie I thought it’d be. It was a one time watch for me.

I liked it. I’m not sure which one I liked better: This one or Murder on The Orient Express…it was great seeing T. Bateman again. If you enjoyed MTOE then you will surely like this one as well. Both great rainy day movies that you can watch more than once.

Great cast, good story to keep the suspense going throughout the film, deliberately paced to absorb you into the story. Go Se it in IMAX!

Better than the 1st movie ! But anybody can guess who was the murderer from the beginning unlike the first movie. But it was still great to meet the cast of this one.

While it’s extremely slow paced in the first act, it does make up for it in the acts that follow. The quality of the costumes and the set design is very good. The writing is pretty good, too. All in all, it’s not a bad film. But it could have been executed at a little quicker pace.

Flashy enough for pantomime but lacking the sense of fun, the rest of the film follows Branagh’s journey into dull excess, with Christie’s cracking whodunnit deafened by the camerawork and deadened by lazy writing.

I liked Death on the Nile a fair bit more than Branagh’s previous Christie film, partly because it’s a less predictable and schematic narrative to begin with, and partly because Branagh the actor has a way of outfoxing his own pedestrian direction.

As it is, this “Death on the Nile,” for too long an affected and strained entertainment lacking any sense of place, floats well downstream from more bracingly constructed whodunits.
