Very EnjoyableThis was my second time watching this movie, and I think I enjoyed it more on my second watch than my first one.
I wanted John and Nick to see this movie so they could see what kind of twists Christie pulls. I was worried because we were getting caught up with singular people in Death On the Nile. I wanted them to realize that multiple people could be in on this and it could possibly be very planned out. I personally think that Murder on the Orient Express has one of the best endings ever. A usual mystery is difficult due to the lack of evidence and clues, but in this one Poirot is so overwhelmed by clues that he can't narrow it down to one person. With everyone working together, they can work together to lie about their alibis. The movie itself was pretty good, but not great. I haven't read the book, so I don't know what they left out. It's pretty easy to follow, which is a big thing for a murder mystery. The reveal does make sense at the end. One thing I thought was interesting about the movie was that every time Poirot interviewed someone, he was in a different place. There was always something to look at besides just the two characters. It was also interesting how the shots turned out inside a narrow train car. How did they do the cameras with so little room? The movie also started with the ending of another mystery in Jerusalem, so whichever book that was, I can't read because I know who did it. Overall, I think the movie did the book justice, but it didn't blow me away. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy the whole movie. 7/10
