Bullet Train was alright. I think it's kinda like the Hitman's Bodyguard for me, where it was fun, but I wouldn't watch it again 🤷‍♂️ I just don't care for action-comedy movies trying to make me emotionally invested in the characters and it was a bit too long imo.

Overall, 7/10 🫡

Well, after a long hiatus, I've finally gotten the chance to get back into giving my unsolicited opinions on movies I watched during long flights 😍

So first up, Nope 🎬 Ngl, I quite enjoyed it! It had good tension without stressing me out the same way that Get Out did -

And it didn't feel like it overstayed it's welcome, which I appreciated. The alien did looking like either a shittake mushroom or a bedsheet underwater was kinda funny 😅 The sibling relationship was also sweet 😊

Overall, 7.5/10, wish we had more wild west themed theme parks 🐎

Alright, last movie from my long haul flights! I think 7 movies in 21 hours was a pretty good effort. I actually enjoyed Space Jam 2 more than I thought I would. I think it might just be because I love Don Cheadle and he's basically the villain from Spy Kids 3 now. Overall 7.5/10

Alright, so I'm on my way to Frankfurt to start a postdoc, so that means almost 21 hours of movie watching time 🥰 And tweeting my unsolicited opinion after watching 4 movies in a row is the perfect way to kill time during these layovers 😂

Over a week late, but before I forgot😅 I feel the same way about The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, as I did about The Hitman's Bodyguard. It was a fun distraction and a nice palette cleanser after Old, but not something I'd rewatch. Overall 7/10, lots of fun with guns🔫
