The 1973 “Murder on the Orient Express” is the quintessential Agatha Christie movie. The 2000-some update of the same title proved to be horrid. Didn’t they learn? A galaxy of international stars which has earned 5 star ratings from every reputable film critic in the past 37 years versus a handful of tv actors who no one, outside of the UK, would even know? Must they do it again? It’s like remaking “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “Gone with the Wind” or “Citizen Cane”. Why? What’s the point? Rating: 1 / 5

Seriously overpriced, $44 currently for just two movies in the series? I just don’t understand that. I guess they are trying to cash in at the end of the series. I will place this in my Amazon Wish List and wait for its price to be slashed when nobody purchases it at its highly inflated price. Rating: 1 / 5

I’m getting the entire series – bit by bit. That’s how much I like Suchet and Poirot. Rating: 5 / 5
