Ghosts of Venice: Review
“The Ghost of Venice” is a classic 20th century story, but different. For years, Walt’s Disney-owned entertainment giant has warmed our hearts with fascinating stories in the most unusual settings. This time we decided to appeal to our senses!
The Ghost of Venice is a high-concept film that relies entirely on direction, and thankfully that job was handled by master Kenneth Branagh.
The idea of setting a movie around a murder in Venice was a perfect fit for the 20th century.
In fact, according to review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, one top critic reviewed the film and said:
Kenneth Branagh once again stars as Agatha Christie’s great detective Hercule Poirot, moving the mystery of Lady Agatha from London to Venice and into the land of the paranormal. We’re both proud of this all-star (hi, Tina Fey!) scary-funny makeover.
Meanwhile, another top critic, Jonathan Dean, reviewed:
The Ghost of Venice knows exactly what it’s doing. The star-studded More Christie caters to the audience’s needs in movies like Leave Behind by the Superheroes and provides a cozy tea-time cushion to the big screen’s ITV drama.
