My friend loved it but I thought it was too slow and drawn out. Kenneth Branagh had a ridiculous stuck on moustache and it wasn't as good as the earlier version of the film. Can't moan though as we went on OAP day and was only £4.50 plus a free coffee. I did doze off half way through though....

You've not sold this film to me mrsmopp! Not keen on Kenneth Branagh because I think he has the same characteristics in every role he plays. Even with a dodgy stuck on 'tash! Maybe one to miss.

I’d like to see it, but cannot think of anyone but David Suchet as Poirot. When I’ve seen Kenneth Branagh in trailers the moustache just looks ridiculous.

What is it about Murder on the Orient Express that no-one seems to get it right? Albert Finney overacted in his version, the Suchet version had a completely out of character Poirot and now this new film which from reviews I have read seem to concentrate on the moustache!!

Well, for what it's worth I enjoyed it, funny moustache and all.
I always think David Suchet's looks painted on anyway.

Branagh is so like Olivier who was Olivier in every film

I really liked it. Great cinematography and some lovely hammy acting.

I think Branagh's moustache is much more like the one described in the books, which is always very luxuriant.
