I think I saw a fake Poirot

Because I watched it with the little fairy, I added a star.

The director gave me a fake Poirot, although I gave full marks to the impression of the accent at the beginning! Except for the beard and accent, everything else is not what I remember. The whole reasoning process is also weak, and no spark is seen.

I have also watched two of the prosecution witnesses, I know the answer, and I can find the director's ingenious plot design. This movie doesn't have this feeling at all, it's too bland, including the murder scene, the whole movie theater is laughing, but I think this should make the audience feel comfortable, from the anger after knowing that he is the murderer, to justice being served. Heartwarming. Unfortunately, I didn't feel it.

This is just the guise of a big IP.

PS or BBC's remakes in recent years are more sincere.
