A Haunting in Venice

[Britpopbaby]

I found this very underwhelming and charmless. I really enjoy Agatha Christie adaptations but this was just meh.

I saw it earlier today, I liked it!
I thought that Rowena was Grace from peaky blinders but it wasn't. Doppelgangers.

@Mouldyfoodhelp maybe somebody spoiled the whodunit

It bore virtually no resemblance to the source material and Branagh it a very different take on Poirot. I would have enjoyed it more without trying to make it a Christie.

That aside Jude Hill was really good in this, as he was in Belfast. A child actor to watch as long as he doesn't go off the rails 🤞

I enjoyed it. And my teenage DD enjoyed it so much. She came home and watched the other two on Disney +.

To be honest, I actually started laughing at some of it part way through. It was so daft in parts and predictable, which is not what I want from an Agatha Christie. Glorious nonsense. Was more Midsomer Murders than Poirot.

I also think Kelly Reilly and Annabell Wallis look alike.

Not as good as I was expecting but good fun all the same. Not as good as previous films in the series.

I saw it last night and absolutely loved it!

This is now on Disney Plus if people still want to see this. Just watching now.

Tina Fey is not a good Ariadne Oliver! I only know her from Only Murders in the Building.

Arghhh, we had planned to watch this on Disney+ tonight. Not so sure we should bother after reading this thread. We enjoyed the first one, not so much the second one. Sounds like the third might be even worse!

Absolutely rubbish

We watched tonight and glad I saved it for a free Disney plus watch.

It was silly! I am glad I didn't pay for it.

Dh and I have just finished watching it, we enjoyed it.

I thought it belonged on Sunday afternoon TV.

It was a damn sight better than the truly awful Death on the Nile.
It was a shame most of it took place on a soundstage in Pinewood and not in Venice.

It wasn't bad. I liked the spooky element although I disliked how much they deviated from the original story.

The whodunnit was very obvious. Not as strong as the last two films.

DH & I watched it this evening. Tbh I thought it was not as good as the previous two. I thought there was quite a bit of mumbling and I missed some of the dialogue, despite gaving the volume turned up way higher than normal. It was also too dark and gloomy.

DH fell asleep before the end and I had to tell him what happened! The best bit, for me, was the beautiful panoramic view across Venice at the end.

All of Branagh's Agatha Christie adaptations have been poor. Orient Express is the only one I made it all the way through and even it wasn't great.

Slept through it.

I didn't like what they did to the character of Ariadne Oliver - it really didn't feel like her. Bring back Zoe Wanamaker!
