DVD Reviews of Poirot - The Complete Collection (Lord Edgeware Dies / The Murder of Roger Ackroyd / Evil Under the Sun / Murder in Mesopotamia)
DVD Review: My collection is complete
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love David Suchet as Poirot and this set completes my collection of his work as the witty and urbane detective. If you appreciate great acting, wonderful dialogue, and period details, you would find this series to be very entertaining. A "must-have."DVD Review: If you love an English mystery, you will love these
Summary: 5 Stars
David Suchet is the perfect Poirot. Love the longer viewing time of these, even though they can be choppy, as noted by other reviewers. Still, it's Poirot and well done: costumes, locations, acting, etc. I admit I prefer the Poirot 'episodes/movies' with Japp, Miss Lemon, and Captain Hastings. However, anything Poirot is good fun, especially watching to see how he thinks through and then resolves his various situations: the words he chooses, the timing, the delivery. Enjoy!DVD Review: Great stuff.
Summary: 5 Stars
I give this five stars because of the excellence of the original production. The phrase "lovingly crafted" certainly applies to the Suchet version of Poirot. The supporting cast is outstanding. The only negatives regarding the DVD version are the lack of extras and the sometimes muddled captioning, obviously written by someone not familiar with British terminology from the thirties. For example, the actor may say "five shillings, thrupence," while the captioning will read "five shillings, crumpance," a crude guess indicating not much effort in getting it right.DVD Review: Superb Poirot
Summary: 4 Stars
Most people seem to agree that David Suchet
is fabulous as Hercule Poirot. He is indeed.
Including the humorous side to this detective.
You will see some of the humor as well as the more
serious side of Poirot. I only wish that some of the
producers had decided to expand on Christie. Namely,
Cat Among the Pigeons and The Third Girl. Christie wrote a lot
of books and there are many fine actors to choose from.
I enjoyed all of these mysteries.
DVD Review: classic mystery stories
Summary: 5 Stars
excellent stories, beautifully shot and directed. very nice color and audio quality. very faithful to the original
agatha christie novels. a must buy for poirot fans. can't go wrong.
Description of Poirot - The Complete Collection (Lord Edgeware Dies / The Murder of Roger Ackroyd / Evil Under the Sun / Murder in Mesopotamia)
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 12/31/2002 Run time: 400 minutes Rating: NrFour beautifully made mysteries comprise this boxed-set collection of Agatha Christie classics, in which David Suchet perfectly captures the brilliant detective Hercule Poirot. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, in which yet another of Poirot's retirements is interrupted with murder, is an admirable adaptation of a nearly unfilmable plot. Lord Edgeware Dies offers the pleasing combination of murder, theater folk, and a glimpse of a besotted Poirot. Evil Under the Sun features cold-blooded murder at a sunny health resort, and Murder in Mesopotamia doubles the fun by dropping all the intrigue into an archaeological dig. Each mystery is lovingly crafted with clever direction, a clear fondness for Christie's work, and painstakingly accurate period settings. Suchet and Hugh Fraser (as Captain Hastings) make a marvelous pair, capturing both the easy companionship and the frequent bickering of true friendship. Special DVD features include an index of all the Hercule Poirot stories and biographies of Agatha Christie and David Suchet. --Ali Davis
