Went to see bullet train in the pictures. 

Haven't gotten to the cinema recently since becoming a dad but Dundrum have a pre crawlers viewing a couple of days during the week early in the morning.

Could see why teenager would love it, was good action but was a bit far fetched and the attempt at witty comedy fell on deaf ears apart from one or two scenes.  But as new movies go, was just about watchable.  Was only saying this down the pub on the weekend, theres been less and less really top class movies being released these days. Between the shift to streaming / TV shows and the whole comic world taking over cinema we probably only get one or two quality 7/8/9 out 10 films. Most things these days are as you said just about passable, 4/5/6 out of 10s at best. The only 2 decent films I've seen released this year was Top Gun an The Batman.

No over the top story line, acting or CGI, very little dialogue or relevant dialogue anyway, they just let the characters do their talking on screen. Its a very back to basics flick that captured everything that was so good about the original film with a new take on the series. Really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed it.   Heard from someone else that it's edited like a Marvel movie with all the fast cuts and I have no interest in seeing a woke Predator movie/Avengers hybrid TBH. You heard wrong then cause there no fast cuts and it bares no resemblance in any way shape or form to a marvel film or franchisee.  Theres also nothing woke about it, its set in the 1700s!

Heard it was excellent, the best since the original. Will have to get around to getting Disney+.

Analyze This - Generic comedy in the same vein as loads of late 90s/early 00s comedies. Billy Crystal coasts and Robert De Niro gurns. I'm a big fan of De Niro and the mob movie genre but I'd rather just watch Goodfellas or Casino for the twentieth time TBH. A couple of truly hilarious scenes but they're too few and far apart to warrant a recommendation. Joe Viterelli is a standout as De Niro's #2. Watch Meet the Parents instead if you're looking for a well-directed De Niro comedy that doesn't lag and offers quickfire laughs and genuine heart.
