English term or phrase: on second thoughts

Greetings,

A married couple go to see a film and as soon as it ends, the husband tells his wife, “That was a great film!”

His wife says nothing, giving him time to have a good think. He then says, "On second thoughts, it wasn't such a good film after all – it was let down by the acting."

As you can see, “On second thoughts …..” is a useful linguistic function for changing your mind about something. Btw, this is UK usage - I think that in some other parts of the word they say "thought" in the singular.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

aslına bakacak olursak(or here "olursan")

Explanation:
We have a free/literal translation here. Therefor I don't think that we can translate here word by word, etc. On the other hand we may also say here "aslına bakılacak olursa", "aslen/aslında", etc...Due to the specific situation or context here there are several Turkish forms of saying available.
