None of the three movies in this trilogy may reach greatness on their own, however, this is a fantastic total package.

As much as I enjoyed the first one, this is even better.

Branagh tries something truly different and it makes for the most compelling of his Poirot adaptations.

It is about seeing an actor we like playing a character we have enjoyed in a story that feels familiar. It is generally pretty fun to watch.

It feels like the filmmakers watched a couple of eight-year-old boys play with their toys, then adapted it into a movie.

It is a noticeable step up from the original and makes a return trip to Pandora seem a lot more inviting.

It is merely a bunch of hollow spectacle that is a far cry from the series’ entertaining beginnings.

It does look different. Otherwise, this resembles every other MCU product.

Like its predecessors, it feels very similar to the stories that launched this universe, unfortunately lacking their sense of magic.

It simmers too many times when it should be boiling over. Regardless, it is generally entertaining, even if it’s not particularly memorable.
