Hercule Poirot is now a farmer and WW1 veteran, carries a pistol and does action scenes.
This is not Agatha Christie's Poirot. This is Harkle Porridge, a sad parody of Christie's work. Branagh should be ashamed of himself for making such garbage.
The "real" Poirot was already a policeman when WW1 broke out and he went to England as a civilian refugee. Branagh also looks nothing like him, his Belgian accent is an abomination and rather sounds like a stereotypical French guy trying to sell baguettes.
David Suchet remains the ultimate Poirot, followed by Sir Peter Ustinov.
As for the story itself? It doesn't follow Agatha Christie's novels. It's a mishmash of nonsense with some characters completely changed, some added, for no reason other than incompetence.
Dear Hollywood. Stop rewriting things made by people a million times smarter, more creative and more talented than any of you.
