I love the fact that Hollywood is allowing a major franchise to exist based on the whodunnit novels of Agatha Christie. In our age of endless sequels and franchise fatigue, it is lovely to see Hollywood use its powers for not-evil for once and let one of our greatest living directors spin yarns around one of the most beloved authors of the 20th century. Kenneth Branagh is arguably neither the first nor best actor to have ever played the great detective, Hercule Poirot.
