    TBH I never read Agatha Christy's novels so I do not know how authentic Poirot's character is in the movies, but I assure you that those movies are actual fun to watch, it is so rare that we get to watch old fashioned detective movies, I hope Kenneth Branagh continues this series with many more adaptations

    There was the moment after Leopold's father's death where he ran off to cry and I'm positive that we see someone over his shoulder comforting him. But everyone else involved was still in the room at the time.

    Michelle Yeoh was SO SO good in this. I was so happy to see her in a role where her race is irrelevant and she is not a maternal figure or kung-fu badass. I wish the role was longer but I also think the emotional weight of her character is amplified by how briefly she is onscreen. It is short but memorable perfromance.

    I've just seen it at the cinema. It looked great, and it had a suitably spooky atmosphere for this time of year, but the ending? Meh. A bit far-fetched. As for that annoying little kid…

    The whole thing with the honey poisoning was a bit farfetched. The resolve was complicated as it should be in this genre but it wasn't beliavable as a story that could happen.

    I know they don't blow up the box office, but I really hope they continue making these films. Branagh's Hercule Poirot films are some of my favorite films in recent years. There are so few mystery films releasing these days, so these movies are a real treat.

    I think the marketing for these films could be a bit better. I only discovered the film was in theaters was because I decided to rewatch last weekend Death on the Nile on Disney Plus and looked up if they were planning to make a sequel. I never saw any advertisement or announcements despite being a huge fan sof the first couple films.

    My husband and I saw the film on a weekday in the early afternoon and there were like six other people. It made it feel a bit isolating and amazing because of it.

    I feel that Looper forgot to mention on how besides on choosing on how to live his life, its more so him believing that there is, while little, a shred of evidence of the supernatural which breaks his cynicism and pessimism on life such that there may be a presence of something beyond the physical world which would mean that there is hope that ultimately the scales of balance & justice can be achieved which then reignites his vigor as a detective.

    ⚠️(SPOILER ALERT)⚠️

    So am I right to assume that while the supposed haunted murders were in fact just committed by human, and Poirot seeing ghosts were possibly hallucinogenic drug effects, that there was still supernatural going on? Her mother’s death may or may not be based on Poirot’s hallucination, but how to explain the voice change of Joyce Reynolds and the turning of the chair? The M forming at the walls? The water turning hot in the bathroom?

    From what i have seen in the movie, I would say that Rowena developed severe abandonment issues possibly from her lover or husband leaving her due to not wanting to have children. This possible incident caused Rowena to develop a fixation on her daughter to remain with her forever and not be alone. This is just my theory, I would like to debate this in the replies,

    What an absolute pile of nonesense this movie is. I suspect I missed part of the plot due to the mumbling and muffled dialogue but then again the whole thing is so weak I don't even care.
