Why perform Shakespeare over and over again? Why not record it once and just have it on streaming?
A big part of cinema is the theatrical experience... Seeing a newly released movie in the theatre is very different than your "tiny" 65 inch TV...
What a terrible analogy.
Why? There is a performance aspect to cinema... it's something that is lost these days given the ease of streaming on phones and tablets and the decent size of TVs, but the theatrical experience is important and is distinct...
Why not have both? Why not release the original 1970s movie in theatre again, as has been done with Alien, Titanic and Terminator 2? Why not have a remake where the ending is changed as well as a remake with the same, unchanged ending?
I don't see why this has to be an either/or choice...
Poirot movies have the particular aspect of the endings being the best and most exciting parts of the movies.
So you want the best bit changed?
Someone with better knowledge of Christie adaptations than me will probably be able to give a more definitive answer, but I suspect that very few adaptations change the "whodunnit".

I've already explained to you: repeating exactly the same thing over and over makes it totally predictable and redundant.

These are ADAPTATIONS. Adaptations get changed every time. This should be no different.
It was. Poirot's moustache, physicality, and the mystery photo as well as the intro and a few character changes. Most of which people complained about.

Are you sure you're not actually Phillipe LeCharade?
You know, I have seen many versions of different versions of Murder on the Orient Express. And this is the first time i had any real sympathy for the killers. By the end i though these people have suffered enough. So I think the ending was fine for the tone the movie was going for.
Imo there is a quite profound difference in Hercule Poirot and what drives his final motivation. Indeed the outcome and I suppose the conclusion is near the original work and so bring not much new. But what finally motivated Hercule is different and I dare say more deep than even Agatha may ever have had in mind... so if you are a fan of the story, I think you should enjoy it for this reason alone.. Imo it is not better than the original, but it is different enough to be interesting.
I know how it's gonna end. I've already seen these story before.
Maybe my typed words didn't translate well with what I'm trying to say. Now that I look at it; it can surely be deciphered in a couple different ways so I'll be clear.

The way in which every person; one at a time; at the end of the movie is depicted all lined up; stabbing the victim one right after the other is the most utter bit of nonsense I've ever seen in a movie.

No, what you said made absolutely no sense.
Why not changing the ending bit? Why being always the same thing?

Yeah, what you say makes no sense.

If you can stomach the ending; you'll probably like the movie.

Maybe it read better in a book.
