So the graphics and visuals are outstanding! It looks like devastation is actually happening. Some of the scenes looking down on the towns were cool but the scenes in the air were incredibly detailed and beautiful. Beyond that I didn't care for it. I wanted to love it but just couldn't . I didn't care or root for any character. I wanted them to all be sucked up into the tornado! There was on scene, early in the movie , that disposed of a character that was awesome. All the performances were hackneyed and just trying to hard. Save your money and wait for it to come on TV or your favorite streaming service.

Twisters is certainly well made with a talented core cast. It is far from a bad film, but I found the story to be familiar and predictable as far as disaster films go.

I was happy to settle into something fun and entertaining; I don't think my expectations were too high, but I think Twisters was missing tension, which is a vital part of a film like this. At no point did I feel any of the central cast of characters were under real threat as they bounced between set piece stunts.

Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones are very watchable in the leads and Anthony Ramos does well to give dimensions to a difficult role. There are however, simply too many peripheral characters.

A large portion of the film's runtime focusses on the relationship between the two leads and, aside from Anthony Ramos, there is no time left to flesh out the rest of the supporting cast, who operate largely as comic relief.

Twister is an absolute travesty, a cinematic disaster that not even its colossal budget could save. It's painfully clear that this film was cobbled together with the sole intention of squeezing every last dime out of impressionable teenagers, capitalizing on the nostalgia of the original classic. The sheer audacity of the filmmakers to slap a big, famous headline on this monstrosity is infuriating.

This movie has effectively tarnished the legacy of the original "Twister," dragging it through the mud with a lifeless plot, atrocious dialogue, and special effects that somehow look worse than what we saw in the 90s. They even had the nerve to cast actresses who are so dangerously underweight that they look like ten-year-old boys-it's not just unconvincing, it's downright disturbing.

They must think we're fools, but anyone with a shred of taste will see right through this cash-grab abomination. Avoid this movie like the plague; it's a gross insult to cinema and to anyone who loved the original.

I love disaster movies and Twister (1996) is one of my all-time favourites. It embodies the 90s, and although cheesy, it's a total comfort movie.

I was really excited for Twisters and the trailers looked like it would live up to the hype. Seeing this tonight I couldn't help but compare the two movies and feel disappointed. Twisters isn't bad, it's just bland.

Jan De Bont had a captivating style of directing with big aerial shots and practical action scenes that worked with the relatively new CGI back in '96. The cast was also stellar (especially Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cary Elwes etc). Twisters at times feels like a caricature of the previous film's characters but uninteresting and not particularly likeable. Daisy Edgar-Jones does a great job and there's decent chemistry between her and Glen Powell (albeit not to the same extent of Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt).

Mark Mancina's score was one of the best action scores of the 90s and I was really looking forward to at least a reference, but unfortunately we only get a generic score from Benjamin Wallfisch. I do rate the solid country soundtrack though.

What are the good things about Twisters? The set pieces are on point - especially the rodeo and finale in the town. The effects are amazing and there's a couple moments of spectacle. I think if you haven't seen (or aren't a huge fan) of the original, you'll probably appreciate this one a lot more.

Twisters is odd because it's not really a sequel to the original Twister (1996), nor is it a remake. It's its own thing. And that's kind of a good thing. This film is highly predictable, which takes away a lot of the suspense, but it still manages to present a few exciting moments. Also, I expected the visual effects to far surpass the ones from the 90s, but they honestly seem about the same. And there are far too many characters for me to care about any of them individually, except for Glen Powell, who is a whirlwind of charisma. Even with all its eye-rolling moments, I enjoyed watching Twisters.
