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.

Nowhere near as good as the original. Why did they feel the need to remake this? Why can't studios come up with their own new ideas instead of remaking past great movies? What has happened to Hollywood? Where has creativity gone to? It's like they fired or all the best creators quit in Hollywood. I just don't get it. Why are so many movies so horrible today? It's so sad what's been going on lately.

I would highly recommend just watching the original again instead of this mess. The visuals are OK (sometimes), but the original's effects were really good as well, and that was decades ago. The acting and story was subpar at best.

2 out of 10 - save yourself some money and watch the original instead.

I want to keep this brief because there really isn't so much to say about this film. The plot is beat to death, with the emotional and plot pivot beats being as predictable as a marvel movie. The film doesn't take itself all that seriously, which is certainly an upside considering how mediocre it is. Every now and then the humor is pretty good and Glen Powell's performance easily is the best out of the two leads. One huge shining mark for the film are the gorgeous wide shot visuals and awesome destruction and effects of the tornados. They did a great job of capturing the beauty of the American midwest.

Beisdes these things, it is an entirely predictable and forgettable film about finishing the job after a haunting tragedy. Despite how average it was, I still enjoyed the film, at least enough for a random Wednesday.

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.

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.
