Death on the Nile

I had a lot of fun with 2017's "Murder On The Orient Express"; a story I was already familiar with due to both the book itself and the 1974 film which my parents kept on a VHS tape in our home, and we would occasionally watch together as a family. Kenneth Branagh returns both as director and main character, Hercules Poirot, for the sequel, "Death On The Nile". Is it as good? Not quite. It's a bit too long (Do we really need the origin story for Poirot's moustache?) and some of the reveals don't land as well as they should, but Branagh at least makes the endeavour suitably cinematic, and I... read more

Death of the Nile's biggest surprise is how Russell Brand can actually act an not be an irritating obnoxious individual. Visually stunning and engrossing murder mystery although that part starts quite late. I did find the way future clues were referred to in advance very obvious, but enjoyed the denouement nonetheless. Not sure the moustache origin story was needed? Especially since the lack of scars or even bald patches on Hercule Poirot's face makes it not very credible. I for one enjoy Kenneth Branagh as a director and as Hercule Poirot and wouldn't mind another film... read more

it's bad but all in all watchable but just, because of the character hercule poirot. i am going to forget this movie very quickly. i wouldn't recommend it. read more

لأقصر بلدنا بلد تفاح فيها الاجانب تتفسح لو متعرفش انه فيلم من نوعيه من الجاني اعتقد هتقضي اول ساعه مالفيلم مش فاهم فيه ايه او الاحداث رايحه فين، فحته اني متوقع الجريمه ديه انقذت اول ساعه لاني عارف بنبني لايه لكن لو معرفش معتقدش اني كنت هقدر لان مفيش حاجه كانت واضحه بالأضافه لان زمن ساعه ده وقت كبير قوي لو هتسخدمه بغرض تقديم الشخصيات بس. بدايه من النص التاني الاحداث اتظبطت والايقاع تسارع وبقي فيه تشغيل دماغ وصولا الي لحظه الكشف اللي كانت مختلفه ومش سهل تتوقعها وخلت التجربه لطيفه النقطه الأهم هي انك لو متدايق انهم ليه مصوروش الفيلم فمصر بدل المؤثرات الخره والجغرافيا الغير صحيحه والفكره... read more

A murder leads to another and then to one more during a luxury cruise on the Nile, but Hercule Poirot is ready to solve the mystery. Once again directing himself in this direct sequel to Murder on the Orient Express (2017) (and a remake of EMI's classic 1978 adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1937 novel), Branagh adds a 10-minutes, black&white WWI prologue to the film merely to justify his character's prominent mustache and once again has the whole whodunit structure take a backseat to showy virtual settings, acrobatic camera movements and the misguided attempt to give Poirot a consistent read more

The CG was bad but Gal was worse. Also if that was supposed to be a "preview" for Gal's Cleopatra then they're in denial because it was horrendous af. read more

Finale troppo scontato, bella l'ambientazione e i costumi 6/10 read more

Se Murder on the Orient Express incomodava por sua resolução — já no livro, uma reviravolta blindada por sua obviedade, que faz com que o clímax soe quase como um deus ex machina, ainda que exista a devida construção —, Death on the Nile peca pelo mesmo problema, com um desfecho pouquíssimo inspirado. Na continuação, porém, o problema ainda é agravado pela montagem, que chama atenção para aspectos importantes e que impedem que o desenrolar final seja minimamente surpreendente. Montagem que, por sinal, parece incrivelmente inimiga de Poirot/Branagh, pois além de tudo cria um ritmo enfadonho... read more

Snooze fest. Thankfully the reveal was semi interesting. He shaved the stache at the end too. Surprise. read more

One of the weaker Christie novels and it shows in this movie. The film tries to make up for it with weird camera angles and extra plot lines but they fall flat. Cinematography is gorgeous though. read more
