Other than the scenery and costumes, the movie had no redeeming qualities. Poirot seems to stumble from one scene to the next without gathering details or making astute observations. The "diversity" plot points are superfluous and don't add to the story. The acting was overdone by all and led by the King of Hams, Kenneth Branagh. He disgraced the character of Poirot. The fact that Branagh thinks he could remake a character already done to perfection by David Suchet shows how arrogant he is. His attempts to "humanize" Poirot only make him seem pathetic rather than sympathetic. Hopefully Hollywood puts this "franchise" out to pasture.
