My biggest complaint is the blatantly obvious attempt to placate the wokies. I'll admit I've never read the source material, but I'm fairly certain there was no closeted older lesbian couple in it, nor was there a southern blues singer from America. All of those character changes served the sole purpose of ticking a box and meeting a quota. I realize it's an adaptation, but stories shouldn't be bent just to appease a small, but vocal, substrata of society.
My other complaint is that the story took WAY too long to get going. We were half way through the movie before anyone was actually murdered.
Apart from those two things, I really enjoyed it. I have no clue why people complain so much about Branagh's performance of Poirot. I think he's great. All the moaning and groaning about the CGI is something else I don't get. They're obviously going for a very particular aesthetic, which is one I like. All in all, I'd watch it again. Probably will. And I'm looking forward to the next one.
