This one tries to update characters and changes the rhymes and death methods to relate a little more toward the time. Instead of being on an island it's in the mountains during the winter. All of these changes are okay, but the original was perfect so why mess with it. I didn't like the musician character at all though...kinda lame.

First off, I have never seen this movie. But I read the book and it is one of the best i have ever read. Christie is truly one of the most gifted writers ever born.
