Why Twisters is BETTER Than the First | Movie Review

This is my 2024 movie review of Twisters, the newest horror movie that premiered this weekend. Leave your Twisters reviews and reactions down below. Today, I tell you why this sequel is surprisingly a great time. Explain your thoughts on the ending and whatever spoilers you want to discuss.

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.

As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, Javi and their crews find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives

The thumbnail should've said, "It *BLEW* me away".

This is definitely more of a remake than an actual sequel. I was not expecting so many of the same plot lines and sequences as the original

[vnx]

as someone who watches almost every movie that comes out in theaters, i gotta say twisters has been the best movie i've watched in the last three years. i don't think ive ever left a movie theatre wishing there was more of something i just watched

[jerryrichardjr.]

I really enjoyed the movie. I'm going to see it again with my friends.

I had so much fun watching this movie in 4DX on a Sunday afternoon. Yes, Glenn is a movie star. I like his screen presence. Maverick was definitely his breakout role. So I wanted to see more of him. I love the original Twister, 🌪🐄 but I love this more. I like the chemistry between Glenn and Daisy's characters. This film showed the human side of when a natural disaster happens, for example donating, and showing compassion and having empathy/sympathy 🌪🌪🌪🌪

A summer blockbuster for sure 🩶

I appreciate that the director said he didn't want the film to be anything political at all, but the thing is, in the 2020s, *just* making a film _celebrating Americana_ IS a political statement of a sort. Just making a film about a normal heterosexual relationship where s3x isn't shown on screen IS a political move, sadly. Just making a film featuring a straight white male character who is *_unapologetically masculine and assertive_* is a political statement. THAT'S why I loved it -- even more than the riveting tension. Just like TG Maverick, it _celebrates_ the strong masculine hero archetype, instead of doing what's "in vogue" right now and sh!tting on it.

I'm a 24-year-old woman, so I'm not the target demographic for disaster/monster movies. But I LOVED this movie, because I *_freaking miss_* films where the male main character isn't shat on the whole time, made to look weak, or subjected to a beat-down from a Mary Sue Not-Like-Other-Girls Feminist GirlBoss! And furthermore, I freaking miss films with female characters who are smart and capable without being "underdog" Mary Sue feminists!

I loved the main plot of this movie too, but I was SOLD by the wholesome, natural, flirty banter between a masculine man and a smart but feminine woman who wasn't insufferable. No disgust from the woman at the man's _aUDAcitY_ to flirt with her, no speech from her about how men ruin everything or treat women like objects. In fact, she _literally tells him to chase her at the end!_ When was the last time anyone in Hollywood did that??

I just could not get over how much I missed that flirty dynamic between a normal straight man and a normal straight woman, that WASN'T about the man cow-towing to the woman's feminist awesomeness, but instead holding his own and being a man, and even _protecting her_ (the rodeo scene)!! I think _that's_ why audiences of both genders are eating up this movie.

Really enjoyed this movie, kinda surprised by the reaction of some reviewers saying the chemistry is lacking. I thought the chemistry was fantastic

After Normal People& Fresh, will watch anything with Daisy Edgar Jones in it! Seeing it this weekend

I loved Twisters. I watched it in 4DX which probably helped too but I had high hopes for this and I wasnt disappointed. I am surprised that it seems to be divisive in terms of reviews but its a win for me.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I went to the theatre with a group of 8 adults that loved the first Twister movie. 7 out of 8 really enjoyed the movie and especially seeing it on the big screen. I only go to the theatre for disaster style movies. I really liked this movie enough to go see it again. I liked the way they showed tribute to the first Twister movie by having several simular scenes and simular character personalities. Its made the movie more fun. 4 out of 5 stars.

[wacokid]

I had a great time with this movie. I thought it was awesome.

[gabrielcastaneda]

Twister was a movie I would rent constantly at block buster growing up watched it at 5 years old, for the first time. When the film came out in 1996 I was almost 3 months old. My dad and mom hold that original movie close it. Was their first date after having me

[daniellawson]

Twister is my favourite movie of the 90s so i had some trepidation but it was pretty good and an enjoyable reboot with good cast.Downsides are lack of Van Halen and while the tornado scenes are good, i doubt ill remember them in 20-30 years like i did twister.
Solid 7/10

[Pupeyes]

I wish I liked this movie. I didn’t hate it but it was watching it and even though there were destruction and “fun” happening, I wasn’t engaged. I was just emotionless watching it. The characters didn’t make me feel anything. Is it me? Maybe it’s just me.

[OrionInSpace]

I watched the original recently for the technical first time because I also once saw a little bit of it on tv when I was young. It’s a decent film for sure I agree. The original is definitely one of the better disaster movies but the thing that will blow my mind the most is that if Twisters makes just a little bit over $500M worldwide then this franchise officially becomes a $1B IP. That’s insane…😅

[owentanner]

Great review. Hope you are having a good holiday. I think Twisters has to be my 2nd favourite movie of the year (behind Dune). I just had so much fun with it

[chelsey]

Daisy Edgar Jones is really pretty, in this movie her character looks like a mixture of Emma Watson and Brittany Murphy

[eddiemiller]

Well, if you haven’t seen it in 4DX, ya are missing the fun. I recommend seeing it that way while it’s still in the format. Yes the movie is good too but the 4DX is an experience like no other but if you back trouble I wouldn’t recommend it as this one jolted me pretty hard most intense 4DX experience I’ve had yet.

Now this is a review I was waiting for.
