Murder on the Orient Express - 6/10

 MV and I went and saw the 2017 Murder on the Orient Express last night.  I give it a 6/10.

 Pros: Gorgeous visuals and photography - the settings are exquisitely done and there is a sense of the train as a character.  Some casting choices (Daisy Ridley, Leslie Odom Jr.) are very good. 

 It's not bad, but I feel like the credits should have "Based on the title by Agatha Christie"...

 Cons: Changes to plot that didn't really work for me.  Some casting choices OR lack of screen time (Kenneth Branagh isn't great as Poirot.  Judi Dench does not get enough time.)

 Without further ado, let's move onto the specifics.  Spoilers lurk and I'm going to assume that you have read the book.  (Yes, I took notes.)
