Twisters Movie Review

Twenty-eight years later, Twister is finally getting a quasi-sequel, Twisters, which, to its credit, has some terrific talent involved. That includes two of the most promising rising stars of the moment, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and a unique choice for a director in Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung. But can it live up to the original?

I saw the original Twister when I was 6. After the movie was over, we walk out into one hell of a thunderstorm. On our way home, we ended up hydroplaning and nearly crashed into a semi. I would like to thank that experience for a fear of tornadoes that enraptured me through my entire childhood.

I would normally agree about the lack of romance in movies today, but the final scene made up for it. I don’t remember the last mainstream that ended on a “cute” romantic moment like that

[skipper]

the original was just so much fun. I would hope this too be a good send up, i didn't expect it too surpass it, honestly, the OG was lightning in a bottle.

The original Twister was my very first DVD! I remember watching it so much not only because I loved the movie, but I was in awe with the power of DVD, LOL.

Twister was one of the movies the hubby and I watched in a theater while we were dating, along with Independence Day. Good times!

I thought it was fun. Not better than the original, and not worse. Just different. And that's ok.

Main character was making a lot of stupid decisions, but the script kept telling the audience she was so smart. Movie was ok. Better if you saw it for free

[djvoid]

Is there a reason why every big budget action movie has the cast looking utterly bored in the poster? Piss yellow colour grading and bored actors, really gets you pumped to see it

[Army]

A lack of a romantic subplot seems like a really stupid complaint tbh

This movie blew my expectations outta the water! So much fun and heart! Also the soundtrack is excellent! 🌪️

This movie was so weird. The original with Jan de Bont was so riveting. It had the romance between Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt but it wasn't forced. And it was not the focus of the movie. This movie was all about the relationship between Anthony Ramos, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. And the sound and lighting on this movie was terrible. I almost wanted to ask the movie theater to turn the sound up because it was waaayyy too quiet during the action scenes. But when the credits started rolling with the outro music it was louder than the rest of the film!!

Really had fun with this one ..better than I expected abit corny sometimes lead did a great job but overall good 7/10
Only complaint was actress who played the mother had so much lip filler in her top lip it was ridiculious my partner joked "her lip should have been in the credits ."..😅

I was 14 as well when Twister came out. I saw it in the theater twice, once with my parents and another time with my friends. I swear that movie made Dodge trucks the IT thing to drive for a few years. My parents even ended up buying a Quad Cab Dodge Dakota a couple of years later. lol.

I'd seen the first in a great theater, massive screen, great projectors and sound, and it was a kick in the pants. That option is now gone sadly, so many miles away now...

They are saving the relationship for the next one watch, like you said you wanted it (begging) it's what will draw back the "some" of the audience

My mum made me watch this in 4k instead of watching Inside Out 2. At first i thought it would be horrible, but it was amazing and it deserves more than 7/10.But i got angry when Kate and Tyler never got together

[ashraymondjames]

There is romance and it was quite refreshing to not see the two leads making out in the middle of a natural disaster. I don’t need to see the physical aspect of every relationship on screen, the emotional one was fully out there and it served its purpose of making us care about the characters. If I got into a fistfight with a tornado, my first thought after it wouldn’t be: well let’s get to fucking.

3:47 I agree about movies these days shying away from anything romantic in them. My problem is that when they do have romance, it's almost always instant hookups and raging sex drives instead of earned friendship and growing attraction. Considering that the entire relationship between Kate and Tyler ( which starting with them as rivals) only occurred over the course of a WEEK, I really like that they didn't go right to swapping spit and taking their clothes off. It was a form of storytelling that focused on two people going from rivals, to friends, to romantic interests, without feeling rushed.
Yes, I absolutely wanted to see them kiss. But the fact that the movie left me wanting more, was rather delicious.

Glen Powell still at it...bravely going into "Danger Zones"
