TWISTERS - Movie Review

[RB-.-]

I get that the movie isn’t really trying to swing for the fences or anything, but I disagree with the girlboss & mary sue points. Taking note of wind movement is a crucial part of storm chasing and was a thing in the original as well.
Actually I admire the movie for avoiding messaging & politics altogether and just presenting the tornadoes and survivors guilt arc.

I have absolute faith in this reviewer. She knows story mechanics more deeply than other online reviewers.

I actually really like this movie. Suspenseful with humorous moments, and likable characters. I also appreciated how there wasn’t a cheesy villain in this. And like how it’s pretty humanistic for a disaster movie

Love that you're reviewing these 'blockbuster' type movies as well whenever you feel like it.

Nerdy quirky guy in a Hawaiian t-shirt who catches the walkie-talkie and says "We're on it!" appeared in Contact. Seriously, he does that exact thing.

I strongly agree with this reviewer. She has become my go to reviewer as of lately. She's grounded, well thought out, and speaks freely.

No one expects a tour de force when it comes to storytelling. This is prime stuff your face with popcorn, enjoy the special effects, have a great time at the movies. That’s all that I’m expecting and that’s all I want.

You do realize her being able to see the elements and how the storms are going to go is a throwback to Bill Paxtons character from the first which you claim to have seen. I thought it was obvious.

I liked it. And counter to your argument about the director, I like that there was a director this time that grew up in Tornado Alley. I think he picked up on things Jan de Bont couldn’t.

Big fan of the first one, I was happy to see they didn’t try to make any direct connections between the two (constant referencing, cameos, etc) other than DOROTHY. Loved the score too. I am a huge fan of the 90s orchestral music but I got to say the Midwest, Dukes Of Hazzard/Yellowstone country music vibe this film had really worked for me.

Not a JAWS type of summer blockbuster status to be had with this one but overall an enjoyable summer popcorn flick.

I thought Glen Powell acted circles around Daisy Edgar-Jones. To me she felt like a wooden board walking around the entire time.

[Elephant-wili]

The disaster/survival genre will probably always have a place in cinema. That is a good thing. The courage, strength, and triumph of the human spirit in overcoming adversity.

Heyday of disaster movies was the 1970's... the Airport movies, Earthquake, Towering Inferno...

[terracehouseguy]

the film was so much fun - love me some Glen Powell

[wileytheacmesalesman]

It sucks you didn’t like it. I loved it. For me it was just a fun, big movie. I may be biased since it was filmed very close to where I live. It really captured the reality of the look and feel of these storms that we deal with every year.

I understand your love for old school film scoring. There is just something about using the classics with a large orchestra that really enhances the drama on the screen. Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Alfred Newman, the Hollywood golden era of sound. How I miss it!!!

[drumfutv]

lol the mystical power of watching the wind

[TheBentonDodd]

This was one of your absolute best reviews

[creeper]

I watched "Twisters" last night your review is by a landslide the most accurate on You-Tube. Well said. Subbed.

[monkeyspank]

Best scene in the original was the cow flying across the screen😂 Intensely Memorable
