[Review] Murder on the Orient Express 2017 - Bland and tasteless

So Murder on the Orient Express (2017) officially opened. Despite receiving a good response from the majority of the audience, for me this is still a bland, lousy and no-hit movie. I thought so, and after watching two other versions: One is Murder on the Orient Express in 1974, played by Albert Finney; Second is the Japanese version of Orient Kyuukou Satsujin Jiken, played by Mansai Nomura central character; My opinion will remain unchanged.

Adapted from the well-known novel by detective novelist Agatha Christie, the film revolves around a murder on the night on an East Express train, and all passengers are subject to question.

The 2017 series brings together such well-known actors as Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Josh Gad, Judy Dench, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe ... but all are added only to be the basis for director and lead actor Kenneth Branagh. What do you know about staging this movie for a film when most of the scenes revolve around how the "divinization" of Hercule Poirot is most prominent?

The duration of the movie is less than 2 hours but it takes the first 15-20 minutes just to talk about how perfect Poirot is, how to measure the egg, how to step one foot and stomp on the other. , deciphering a subordinate case in Istanbul, all contributed nothing to the main plot and did not highlight anything special about Poirot. Rather than add to this completely pointless and extravagant episode, there is only a small scene when Poirot goes to bed, flips through newspapers, wears gloves, fixes beard, arranges evidence on the table in the 74s. The Japanese version was enough to show how intelligent he was. This helps to increase the focus on the case and increase the attractiveness of the film.

Another point that I hated was the character Poirot built by Kenneth Branagh: he was so arrogant. Who introduced himself to the passengers again saying: "I am Hercule Poirot, and perhaps I am the world's greatest detective"? Throughout the film, Branagh is alone in solitary confinement, investigating soloists, solving crime with some nonsense, and eventually setting the scene for the guests to sit on a long table. In the cold snow, he stands in front of him and accuses the suspects of being in a judgmental "justice". If I did not want to turn Poirot into a goddess so ridiculous, I did not know what to call it.

The focus on Poirot made the role and the grudge of the suspects become superficial and uninteresting. The scene of 12 people in turn stabbed the evil villain is described in detail in the 74. The characters call the name of the dead and down to justice to be executed. The main incidents appear and are interpreted reasonably, the sad story as well as the anger of the suspects are clearly shown.

As for the Japanese version, because it is a drama, the length is more comfortable so it can be exploited in more detail, the film introduces more episodes showing the tragic story of each person, why they choose to handshake. Made such a horrible plot. The Japanese script is very strong and logical. Even though it was a television show, the acting, the appeal and the drama of the movie broke the 2017 screenplay by Kenneth Branath.

In addition, Mansi Nomura and Albert Finny's Poirot have a very personal personality. In Japan, Poirot (renamed Takeru Suguro) is a bit cunning, but not hated but funny and funny. Albert Finny's poirot is right, with a stout body, a gentle gentleman always paying attention to details. Both are very close and very "human".

They have the common trait or use of psychological blows in the course of the case, the testimony because too perfect that becomes imperfect in the eyes of the great detective. His ability and excellence in reasoning is very convincing in view of the viewer and the characters. The secretary in the Japanese version asks him, "Are you a god?" He simply replied, "I'm a detective."
What about Kenneth Branath's Poirot? Pompous. His poirot in 2017 is just like the old Gilderoy Lockhart character in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets he once played, flashy outside but inside was empty. With a fake beard and a frivolous English style, the Branath's Poirot is like a cheap detective named Poirot.

The music of the movie does not hold anything in the audience, while the Japanese and the 74 are very prominent and impressive, increasing the mystery of the story. There are no fictional or altercation scenarios such as the 2017 edition, but viewers still feel the thrill and thrill of watching the story.

The 2017 shooting angle is too boring and annoying. I wondered what was the purpose of going from top to bottom during an autopsy? The view of the audience is narrow, the remaining character monologue from top to bottom as the angle of rotation.

The Japanese and the 74s were mostly focused on interrogation, but during the interrogation the suspects displayed their characteristic and narrative details of their activities, the tacit confrontation between the detective and the suspect became more attractive, making the movie not boring.

Also in 2017? Superficial declarations, characters are superficial, few sentences say a few actions such as spit, shaking from the original, the rest is the same (except the face). I did not sleep well in the movie theater. Harmless and time consuming, a bland movie, no more no less.
