The movie was impossible to watch as the character played by Tom Hanks, Colonel Parker, ruined it. The voice grated on my nerves like nails scratched down a chalkboard and I tried to watch it on mute with subtitles to see if that "helped".

It did not.

The movie was one cliche after another and Austin Butler's version of Elvis' accent was, well, just as bad. (Given that he has adopted the accent in real life as shown at The Golden Globes makes it even more annoying and laughable!... Best Actor? For this tripe?) Although artistic like as of Baz' films are, the awful acting and ridiculous dialog made this one of the worst movies I have EVER seen!

I had waited for years, literally, for this movie and now that it is out, I am wondering why I was excited. (Blame the pandemic and Armie Hammer's supposedly awful behaviour for the delays...I think that at least half of Hollywood is kinky in some way, his problem was that he got CAUGHT!)

I enjoyed Branagh's character of Hercule Poirot and the story behind the infamous moustache but I had guessed the killer early on despite the circuitous route to the real killer/killers and the pile of dead bodies that end up on that boat.

The movie is predictable in so many ways: it is a text book whodunnit..but I really didn't care whodunnit in the end,. Take it from this librarian ... read the book!
