"I found a Haunting in Venice tried to be too clever and dark with the camera shots which maybe tried to cover up a poor storyline. Don't remember it before as a Poirot film, certainly not a cinema one, maybe it was one of Christies weaker stories. I remember Branagh and Emma Thompson in a cracking film called Dead Again at the start of their careers but both then got a bit arty and Branagh certainly IMO is a bit hit and miss."

Never been a big fan of K Branagh Remember he did a reboot of the Swedish detective series Wallander The Swedish bloke in the original series convinced as a slightly run down detective in rural Sweden Branagh in the English remake looked like a STAR slumming it in suspiciously well made clothes

"Iron Duke 9:43 Thought the first Knives Out film was very good, the second however s bit ordinary. Hope the next instalment (Wake Up Dead Man) is as good as the first."

Ok. Ham maybe a tad strong. But as zico pointed out. Stick him with a good supporting cast and he do a good job. Put him along side French and Saunders. And that acting powerhouse that is Gal Gadot. He looks like he’s reaching.

Branagh is a ham. After David Suchet portray of Poirot. Following him. Is a bit like Moyes following Fergie.!

I tried to watch one of Branagh’s Poirot films. It was pretty shit. The Knives Out films are much better.

"Swiss - Must agree. His Murder on the Orient Express was ok ish even though you know what the story is but not a patch on Finney but this was so boring I fell asleep. Didn't help that Tina Fey was in it, he was scraping the barrel for co stars."

"Watched A Haunting in Venice, one of the three Kenneth Branagh takes on Poirot and god it's dull. Loved the Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov films but Branagh just puts you to sleep, don't think I'll bother with Death on the Nile!"

Tarot is OK for this type of horror genre. Problem is now everything is so woke you know the black guy will survive so it’s all a spoiler.

"Looked forward to Civil War, but like 'Men', it's absolute garbage. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was also a massive disappointment. Just a bobbins Inglorious Basterd that I switched off before half way. Hollywood really is crumbling."

Will give Monkey Man a look. I think I started to watch Boy Kills world and turned it off but maybe I'm wrong.

"Watched Chim's reco Monkey Man, I wouldn't rate it quite as highly as Chim did and maybe it's 20 mins too long, but really enjoyed it and good to see Dev Patel back on the big screen."

"I've seen quite a few films recently two at least are in the same stupid (but funny) Napoleon Dynamite vein, Please Don't Destroy The Foggy Mountain Treasure and the more kid friendly Riddle Of Fire. I'm guessing most of you will hate them but they appeal to the little kid in me. The best film I've seen for a while is Dev Patel's Monkey Man. Frenetic and very 'stabby' it looks like he's going to be in the running for a new James Bond which we all know is going to have a 'diverse' 007. Having seen him play the action hero I honestly couldn't say I'd be disappointed of him in that role. It slowed just a tiny bit in the middle but that's because the rest of the film went at 100MPH. A very enjoyable film with shades of Tarantino and John Wick. Beautifully shot and edited if you like that Paul Greengrass hand-held camera style. I usually don't but in a place as frenetic as Mumbai it fitted perfectly."
