DVD Reviews of Poirot - Classic Crimes Collection (The Mystery of the Blue Train / After the Funeral / Cards on the Table / Taken at the Flood)
DVD Review: POIROT-Classic Crimes Collection
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are an Agatha Christie fan, don't buy this collection. I watched (suffered through) 3 of the DVD's. They have changed the endings of the stories and have made muddled messes of the plots.
I gave my brand new collection away.
Read the books.
DVD Review: Great Collection!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Hercule Poirot and bought it because I really liked The Mystery of the Blue Train but I also fell in love with After the Funeral and Cards on the Table. I have re-watched this collection many times and I am so proud to have it within my own collection! DVD Review: Another Christie-Suchet Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
Even though Acorn Media's Poirot releases were lot better, I think AE's Poirot adaptations are satisfactory.
There are only few things that make you feel like it's 1940s or 50s England, but still adaptation and storyline is very accurate.
Probably that's all we are looking for in a Poirot movie...
DVD Review: Porot, indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
Great purchase for me. I love the A&E or Mystery TV of the Poirot series (whichever channel it was on....) and grew up reading Agatha Chrisite. This product was just how the seller claimed and arrived quickly. Thanks! DVD Review: Poirot-Classic Crimes Collection
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been a big fan of David Suchet and all the actors of the BBC Poirot series. This collection does not live up to the superior standards of the earlier ones. A small complaint is the amatuerish acting. But a bigger complaint is that I can barely understand the dialogue. The actors mumble and slur. And there's no Closed Captioning! How can these be produced without Closed Captioning? In spite of all this I give these films three stars, primarily for the presence of David Suchet, and for the fine detailed sets and locations.
Description of Poirot - Classic Crimes Collection (The Mystery of the Blue Train / After the Funeral / Cards on the Table / Taken at the Flood)
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 05/30/2006The incomparable David Suchet reprises his role as Agatha Christie's indefatigable Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot in this collection of four A&E teleplays. Poirot is older now, and mostly solo in solving his crimes, without his previous sidekicks Hastings and Japp. Yet the world-weary Suchet is as compelling as ever to watch, surrounded by the decadent rich who seem to find murder an easy solution to life's inconveniences. The Mystery of the Blue Train, for instance, features a young, and suddenly very dead, heiress, with a dissolute husband, an overprotective father (a fabulously blustery Elliott Gould), greedy cousins, and all sorts of scheming money-owing hangers-on--all cocooned and coddled on a luxury train on the French Riviera. Indeed, one of the many pleasures of this collection is its very high production values; sets, costumes, and locations are detailed and opulently believable. (Though one annoying tic from the films' TV roots inexplicably remains: some "naughty" words, like the "God" in "God-damned," are edited out; surely we home viewers could handle a teensy bit of upper-crust rough talk?) The supporting casts are rich and varied, and the suspects deliciously numerous. And at the center of it all is the ever-refined, driven Poirot, who will not rest until the evil-doers are exposed. Extras include biographies of Agatha Christie and of David Suchet. --A.T. Hurley
