I had high hopes for this one. I love Agatha Christie books and I am also huge Kenneth Branagh fan...especially Hamlet and Othello, but also I enjoyed Thor 1, which he directed...I've never seen him in a movie were I didn't appreciate his performance. And Murder on the Orient Express was no exception. Branagh made a perfect Hercules Poirot. But the movie just wasn't that great, even though it is Kenneth Branagh directed. It drags along...Johnny Depp phones in a performance...but the ending is well done.
I give it a 2.5 out of 5...Branagh's performance keeps it entertaining enough that it keeps your attention to the end.
IMHO, if you aren't a big Branagh fan, wait for this one to hit the local library and check it out for free.
