Death on the Nile Ratings & Reviews
- c2theg32January 31, 2026Keeps you guessing until the end. Pretty fun ride even though it's a little slow getting started, Worth it
- Ken KaniffAugust 21, 2025Good period mystery. It hits just about all the right notes. I wish that crocodile wasn't CGI..
- makdelartJanuary 29, 2026The film has nothing to do with the adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel. The scenes look like colourful pictures without soul, with actors playing contemporary characters dressed in period costumes.
- ZokkiieDecember 5, 2025Just like the Orient Express remake: an okay movie but a pretty weak remake. It looks great and has a solid cast, but it never comes close to capturing the charm of the original. Decent watch, definitely the lesser version.
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025I liked this quite a bit more than Branagh’s Murder On The Orient Express. Thought the visuals and setting were stunning in most instances even if there were a handful of moments where the green screen CGI obvious. My biggest gripe with MOTOE was that the solution for the crime seemed to come out of nowhere, nearly impossible for a viewer to solve by simply watching the film. Death On The Nile definitely corrects that issue that I had, but Branagh may have over corrected slightly. While the “who” was fairly obvious very early in the film (before the murder even occurs), I did feel like the “how” was a decent mystery, that could have been solved by an astute viewer (Not me). Fun movie, though, and I’m up for Branagh adapting more if he continues to refine the mystery element.
- RodrickKeenDecember 26, 2025Love the movie
- mickerdooSeptember 16, 2025This installment of Hercule was period, setting and design extravagant. I didn't solve before I should've. Enjoyable new mystery release.
- StephenJune 28, 2025Long drawn out plot of little or no significance. Dreary hammy performances. Horrible music, drilling your ear drums. Very disappointing!
- jackmeatSeptember 2, 2025My quick rating - 6.8/10.
- ርልዪረFebruary 3, 2025I am a big fan of "Murder on the Orient Express", and of some of Kenneth Branagh's work in general. "Death on the Nile" gets off to a very slow and uninteresting start, but picks up pace with incredible speed once the first murder is committed. From there, the film barrels from one suspect to the next, while Hercule Poirot (Also Kenneth Branagh) is absolutely dazzling. Gal Gadot, Emma Mackey and Tom Bateman were also brilliant. From approximately the one hour mark, the suspense blows through the roof, and you are truly glued to the screen. I was absolutely entranced within the story and the revealing of various hidden plotlines was extremely satisfying. The next hour passed in what felt like a few minutes. There are also some excellent establishing shots and great costume design. The visual thematic of this film are really well done. However, this isn't a film for a deep murder mystery "analysis". It's aim was to catapult audiences to Poirot's world, slam them with a very curious and unravelling mystery, and expose hidden layers towards the solution of the mystery, and it certainly achieved that. I don't believe a second viewing will uncover any more plot points, or a "deeper mystery" as such. Overall, Death on the Nile is definitely worth a watch, and is a very worthy competitor to it's predecessor.
