[John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot in The ABC Murders]

[philstar22]

I'm one of those who just can't see anyone else but Suchet in the roll. Suchet basically is Poirot for me. But you aren't alone in liking Malcovitch's portrayal, I don't think.

[greghousesgf]

I do think Suchet was the best Poirot but I also like Peter Ustinov's and Albert Finney's versions of Hercule (both of which are pretty different from Suchet's.)

It's weird seeing someone else in the role, for sure. It also makes a difference because it's Poirot not in his prime. He's a lonely old man who's largely been forgotten, which is really sad. :(

[ayebydan]

Yeah, I grew up with him in the role. He is Poirot for me. For years I didn't even realise it was all based on novels.

I hated this adaptation's take on Poirot so much. Everything was dark and everyone was an awful person with the shoehorning in of weird fetish heels and Catholic Priest Poirot that left a bad taste in my mouth. It was like a fanfic written by someone trying to gain social justice points for being utterly pro-immigration while titillating with the landlady's daughter's gratuitous scenes. Did not need to be 3 hours long. Did not need to leave out Hastings nor belittle Poirot in eyes of police and public.

ooooh Malkovich as Poirot!

[firecat]

Anyone other than Suchet is essentially cosplaying Poirot. But some cosplays of Poirot are interesting.

I just can't see John Malkovitch as anything but John Malkovitch, I'm afraid, whatever he's in.

I did like this adaptation though! Particularly the angry men on twitter it generated. Although I did think Rupert Grint with the hat and moustache looked a bit like a 15 year old trying to get served at the pub.

[froodle]

I really liked Rupert Grint in this, I thought he was probably the character and the portrayal i enjoyed most.
