Ring leader Kenneth Branagh shows incredible stamina with his latest project. He not only directs but stars in it as the world’s greatest deceive Hercule Poirot. But it doesn’t end there, he then appears in almost every scene in the entire film. Few thespians have put in more effort on a single project.

Agatha Christie’s stories have appeared on the big and little screen with regularity over the years but few have looked as sumptuous or been informed with so much Hollywood star power. The set design is also a star and features a fantastic Art Deco look that does an admirable job of setting the appropriate level of luxury.

It’s hard to do much new with a mystery that anyone knows the details about already (at least for fans of Agatha Christie) but it’s still a fun journey.

It pulls out all the stops in its effort to entertain and to bring the overriding story arc to a popular conclusion, this includes surprise cameos and events that have been on the cards for quite a while now. It provides almost too much information upon first view and will certainly divide the uber fan as few franchises have such vested followers.

Even with a long running time of 141 minutes, there is little down time. The action is relentless as these characters have had ample time spent on their backstory before reaching episode nine. There are however a number of big reveals that will have fans who see the film feeling more in the club than ever. One thing that still rankles though is the disregard for the laws of physics, they are laws folks, not mere suggestions

Having grown up with Star Wars but never focusing on the minute details as some super fans have, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker provided a more than satisfactory end to a series of works that started strong, had a wobbly middle and ended on a high note. It will be at the heart of many a film discussion for years to come and rightfully so.

With projects like this, being based on exisiting books (and children’s ones at that) it puts added pressure to create a screenplay that will have something to offer all segments of the audience. In this regards the film is very successful and the script is filled with many delightful moments.

It crates a very fun and lighthearted atmosphere and one that delivers its message with a distinct absence of preaching. It also has a number of running gags that just work every time and elicit much laughter from the younger members of the audience.

Few children’s films work this well to entertain older members of the audience while still giving the young ones so many memories to cherish.
