Death on the Nile Reviews
Kenneth Branagh wasted not a single frame.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 22, 2024
Meanwhile the spectacle of wealth gives viewers a chance to live vicariously through the characters. “Death on the Nile” may make an unofficial perfect accompaniment to “Triangle of Sadness” (2022).

The template of this film isn’t an unfamiliar one at all - if anything, it is probably just dead in the water.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 10, 2023
All who enjoy Agatha Christie novels for the cleverly put-together puzzles and familiar characters, are sure to be disappointed with this version

A sequel that is slightly superior to the predecessor when Branagh takes Poirot's magnifying glass, but its whodunit mystery on the Nile is not able to hide the weaknesses that sink its plot into a regular and predictable river. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 13, 2023
Might take forever to get going with its extremely long first act… & gives to many indicators to who the killer will be… making it obvious before the murder happens… but still I found it surprisingly entertaining in the back half

The film drags on too long and there is too much setup prior to the murder that becomes distracting over time.
| Jul 25, 2023
Death on the Nile retains the problems of its predecessor, containing an even less mysterious central mystery and even less interesting multiple storylines.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 25, 2023
Is there a point to re-adapting these already-familiar films and novels? Branagh doesn’t successfully answer that question, seemingly trading on that sense of familiarity to sell tickets to the remake.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2022
As stated, many times here, Hercule Poirot may be the greatest detective in the world. Is Death On The Nile the greatest detective movie in the world? Definitely not. Not even close. Anyone who says otherwise has had enough champagne to feel denial.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2022
Jump on board and let Death on the Nile take you on a well-crafted mystery.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 2, 2022
Death on the Nile is a handsomely helmed adaptation of Agatha Christie’s iconic source material, elevated by an all-star ensemble and pristine production values.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022
“Death on the Nile” feels like a relic from a bygone era which I found to be one of its most alluring traits.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2022
There's not enough champagne to make it through

I REALLY didn't like it. Go watch the Original.

...It’s still a mostly style-over-substance affair that’s fun in the moment but doesn’t at all stick in the mind.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 26, 2022
The kind of overwrought whodunnit that makes going to the movies in February worth it. I’d watch Kenneth Branagh make 10 more of these.
| Jul 6, 2022
Giving Poirot's 'stache its own black-and-white origin story to start the new movie truly is the height of indulgence.

Even though it accomplishes what it sets out to do, entertain, whodunit intrigue, powerful musical score... the movie almost falls apart because of its use of subpar green screen shots. [Full review in Spanish]

Wonderfully entertaining, if a bit bleak in its depiction of humankind.
