Everyone has a past. Everyone has a secret. Everyone is a suspect. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the ultimate case of whodunit when MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS arrives on Digital February 20th and on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD February 27th, 2018.
* Complimentary DVD Received for Review & Feature.
Kenneth Branagh directs and leads an all-star cast, including Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench and Leslie Odom, Jr., in this stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mystery based on the best-selling novel by Agatha Christie. Everyone’s a suspect when a murder is committed on a lavish train ride, and a brilliant detective must race against time to solve the puzzle before the killer strikes again.
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is a timeless classic that “will keep audiences guessing” (Peter Debruge, Variety).
Produced by Branagh along with Ridley Scott (Alien: Covenant), Simon Kinberg (Logan), Mark Gordon (Molly’s Game), Judy Hofflund (As You Like It) and Michael Schaefer (The Martian), MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is loaded with bonus material that dives into the making of the film including an eight-part documentary, eleven deleted scenes, commentary by Branagh and much more.
My Thoughts: I’m a huge fan of Ridley Scott and his movies. I first discovered him after seeing the hit movie Blackhawk Down (one of my favorite movies EVER). He’s one of the best movie producers in Hollywood, at least in my honest opinion.
I was really excited to sit down and watch this modern-day version of the classic, Murder on the Orient Express. Let’s start with the actors and the characters that they played. I thought they all did a great job, except for Johnny Depp. I am NOT a Depp fan and I really feel that they could of found a better actor to play that character. Just being honest. Other than that, I thought the rest of them did a fantastic job.
From start to finish…I thought it was a pretty good movie. It held my attention and had plenty of mystery and suspense to keep you entertained. If you enjoyed the original Murder on the Orient Express movie, I think you would really enjoy this modern-day upgrade. On my movie rating scale, I’m giving it 7 popcorn buckets out of 10 popcorn buckets.

The characters beloved by everyone – Gru, his wife Lucy, their three adorable daughters—Margo, Edith and Agnes—and the Minions provide hours of family fun in this heartwarming subversive comedy from Academy Award®-nominated producer Chris Meledandri (Despicable Me Franchise) and directors Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me Franchise) and Kyle Balda (Minions 1 & 2, The Lorax).
Hailed as “the best Despicable Me movie yet,” by Ali Plumb of BBC Radio 1, with over $949 million in global ticket sales, Despicable Me 3 is the ultimate holiday gift, with almost an entire hour of exclusive bonus features including an all-new mini-movie, a never-before-released deleted scene, and much more!
Illumination, the studio that brought you Sing, The Secret Life of Pets and the Despicable Me franchise, continues the adventures of Gru and his family in Despicable Me 3. After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down Balthazar Bratt, the latest evil mastermind to threaten humanity, Gru finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis. But when a mysterious stranger shows up to inform Gru that he has a long-lost twin brother — a brother who desperately wishes to follow in his twin’s despicable footsteps — the former super-villain rediscovers just how good it feels to be bad.
Academy Award® nominee Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) reprises his hilarious role as reformed criminal mastermind Gru, as well as his newly discovered twin, Dru. The all-star voice cast also features Kristen Wiig (Despicable Me 2), Miranda Cosgrove (Despicable Me 1 & 2), Steve Coogan (The Secret Life of Pets), Jenny Slate (Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets), Dana Gaier (Despicable Me 1 & 2) and legendary singer and actress Julie Andrews (The Sound of Music).
Check out this hysterical trailer for the movie! Funny and Entertaining!
We invited our 2 grandchildren, our godson and 2 of our nephews over for a family movie viewing party. All of the kids have seen Despicable Me 1 & 2 and were excited to see the newly released addition, Despicable Me 3.
From start to finish this movie will have you glued to the TV screen! It’s really funny! I’m not into slap-stock comedy and this certainly isn’t that! The movie has a great story line that is entertaining and fun! It’s one of those animated movies that the entire family will enjoy…from the littlest ones and clear up to senior adults.
After watching the movie with the kids I asked them for their opinions. 4 out of 5 of them told me that Despicable Me 3 is their absolute favorite one out of the three movies. My godson voted for the original Despicable Me, but everyone else agreed that this new one is the best one out of the entire franchise.
Here’s a free printable activity sheet for the kids! Print them out and let them work on the activities before, during and after the movie. We always print several of them and when the kids need some quiet/sit-down time…I hand them these fun sheets to do!
The Despicable Me 3 Movie DVD is available for purchase now and would make the perfect holiday gift! You can follow the movie over on Facebook and chat with movie fans!
