Murder On The Orient Express (2017): How Good Will It Be?

in #movies7 years ago (edited)

Hello movie marauders! Murder On The Orient Express is being re-imagined again, but this time by director Kenneth Branagh (director of Thor). Murder On The Orient Express is a novel written by Agatha Christie in 1934, and was a movie in 1974. The script is written by Michael Green (who co-wrote Logan/Alien: Covenant). Murder On The Orient Express is a mystery/crime film, and is set to release November 10, 2017. If you haven't seen the trailer for it, click on the video below!! In this article, we are going to take an in depth look at what Murder On The Orient Express is about/who's in the movie/how good this movie will be. Let's get started!

Plot

Thirteen Passengers set foot aboard the Orient Express. This luxurious train ride is halted when one of the passengers is murdered, and the train is stranded in a very bad winter storm. Detective Hercule Poirot interrogates all the passengers, finds clues, and tries to find out who the killer is before they strike again. I am not sure who is killed or who did it because I want to be surprised when I watch the movie. I really like mystery movies, and being shocked when finding out who did it and what their motives are. Judging from the trailer, I am assuming Johnny Depp's character, Ratchett, is killed because we do not see him talking to Poirot (as a suspect). Also, "the widow" (Mrs. Hubbard) is the woman Ratchett was seen with in the trailer. The train looks like an amazing setting, and I love the wardrobe. I think this movie is going to be very entertaining to watch, and I hope that I am surprised at the end of the film.

How Good Will It Be?

I think it will be a great movie because of the director (Kenneth Branagh) and the story. I think this movie will turn out to be a great mystery that is entertaining from start to finish. I have watched the trailer many many times, and it has made me very anxious to see this movie. I love how the movie is set on a train, and the wardrobe. All of the characters look very cool, and fit their personality (the giant mustache on Hercule Poirot is pretty funny). I am going to guess that it will get around an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. We will just have to wait until November to see how good this movie is!!
