Good: overall Branagh pulled the character off well. Gadot did the same with Linnet Ridgeway.
Bad: can you say 'Woke worked into everything'?
They changed a bunch of characters(have to have a proper mix of races), threw in two lesbian lovers, an interracial romance, a bunch of crew members on the riverboat being both female and dressed as they would not have been in Egypt in the nineteen-teens or -twenties. And they really screwed the ending around.
The new version isn't terrible, but if you've seen the earlier the differences and Woke will really slap you in the face.

Watch the tv version with David Suchet. It is more accurate to the book. Same with the Murder on the Orient Express.
Masterpiece Theater ran a few seasons of Poirot starring Suchet. It's a good series worth checking out.
