This was one of the most disappointing movie of the year by far . . . It had so much potential, but it was such a let down. The biggest problem I had with this movie that it felt like facts and not a story. It felt like they were throwing facts after facts after facts about what the person was involved with the killings. The first 20 minutes and the last 10 minutes didn't feel like I was being the throated down with boring facts about the mystery. But 90% of the movie felt like we were going one person after another after another with just asking the usual questions they ask in these types of Hercule mystery movies. But unlike Death on the Nile (by far, so much more intriguing) and even Murder on the Orient Express, this felt like a no breather to expand more on the storyline or even the tone/direction but just go from person to person to question them - it was boring, lame, and just felt like a waste of time. One thing I will give this movie is this - they had at least the guts to change the tone and the direction of the whole Hercule mystery movies. I enjoyed the haunted, eerie atmosphere but it also didn't help that they didn't explore it even more. This movie felt like a waste for so much potential that was lost. One of my most anticipated movie of this month just turns out to be definitely one of the most disappointing movies of this year I've seen.
