Summary: Another Christie-Suchet Masterpiece
Comment: 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...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Porot, indeed
Comment: 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!

Summary: Poirot-Classic Crimes Collection
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but not as good as the earlier Suchet's
Comment: I have all the David Suchet Poirot mysteries, including this set, and I like them all. But the stories in this set are not as good as the earlier shows. For one thing, the absence of Miss Lemon and the redoubtable Hastings is sorely felt. The three of them worked so well together, and Hasting's bumbling brought an excellent touch of comedy to the show. The stories in this set are well done and excellently acted. But they are darker in general. There is little humor or lightness. Now, that can be just what some people would rather watch. These stories spend little time on the character interactions and foiables of Poirot and his cohorts. There are just the stories - a couple of them quite stark. As I said, I like them all, and I'm still rating this four-stars. But the flavor is a little different from earlier Suchet Poitot's.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Quite Fun with exciting twists
Comment: Another good Poirot mystery collection starring David Suchet, who continues to be excellent as the great Belgium detective.
