Twisters | Movie Review

[@MichaelTomsyck]

Sean, when can we expect your highly anticipated interview with Glen Powell?

[@femz4952]

They are having too much fun just hangin out. No time for interviews

[@nicholaswagner6334]

Close, personal friend*, Glen Powell

[@sheraldhill2728]

He was being ironical

[@femz4952]

@@sheraldhill2728 this really went over your head didn’t it?

[@DarthWinterMadness]

After watching the movie and started to watch reviews, I couldn't stop thinking about this question: When will Sean have Powell on his channel for an interview? And all jokes aside, that's something I really believe could happen in a not-so-distant future. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@wileytheacmesalesman7760]

So, I live on the border of Kansas and Oklahoma and the original Twister was filmed all around the area where I live. I was a kid and remember seeing the damage path they made for the movie and seeing some of the actors around town. For a kid, it was a really exciting time. Then I watched the movie and thought it was so cool recognizing the roads and landmarks that I travel and see all the time. It made that movie extra special for me and I still love it. I’m very excited for Twisters. It feels nostalgic even though it’s new. I do however have mixed feelings about seeing the movie. This year was pretty rough and wild with tornados in my area, with a lot of close calls. I’m still excited to see it but it has been a scary year.

[@laquitasmith6774]

I get this was very cool and very conflicting emotions as well abt the destruction the natives have to endure as well!

[@johnnycorrie362]

I laugh out loud every time I hear the glen powell close personal friend joke lol

[@laquitasmith6774]

Same I met Sean in Nashville and spoke to him abt 10 whole minutes…we are officially friends!😂

[@jeorgehicks2324]

Sean talking about feeling personally seen and represented through Glen Powell’s character in Twisters. Me: That’s because Glen Powell is not only your close personal friend, but he is your close personal younger twin!

[@mttylerdurden9]

The guy who wrote the story is Joseph Kosinski. The director of Tron legacy and top gun Maverick.

Seans close personal Friend Glen Powell is the real deal!!! Love all his latest movies. Great review Sean!

[@DMKelly20]

Just saw it today. Loved the first one growing up and this one was exactly what I hoped it would be. In my opinion, it absolutely lived up to the original, and in a number of ways, exceeded it. Daisy Edgar-Jones did a great job carrying a lot of the emotional weight of the story and Glen Powell just demonstrates again why he is such a rising star right now. Pure charisma and magnetism and just a fun and entertaining performance. Absolutely plan to see it again in theaters.

[@BenjiM514]

Mandatory Glen Powell glazing of course lol

[@JuanRodriguez-tf7fh]

You telling me you wouldn't glaze Glenn Powell?!?

[@Jogwheel]

Glad to hear you liked it! It was an absolute blast. An upgrade over the original, which is saying a lot. Just finished filming my own review - excited to get it uploaded soon 🙂

[@project_Notorious]

Agreed i think it is OUTSTANDING. Hate to see ppl are already being bias about it. I think it was amazing. It captivated me from beginning to end.

[@project_Notorious]

Ill also check it out man

[@Jonn-Jonzz]

Sean’s close personal friend Glen Powell absolutely nailed it with this role. An overall awesome and fun Adventure/Disaster flick that was much needed for the summer blockbuster season! Daisy Edgar-Jones star will rise going forward now and rightfully so.

[@everythingweather]

I saw Twisters last night and I had an absolute blast with it. As someone who has never been too fond of the original and find it to be very overrated with how much people, especially within the field of meteorology love it, I found this film to be everything I wanted the original film to be and more. The disaster side to it was perfectly silly while also being very real, the characters, their interactions, and the plot were much more interesting and engaging. I cared much more for how all the characters would survive by the end and if their experiment would work. All the scientific wordage was spot on and accurate and the special effects were some of the best I’ve seen from a disaster film in a long time. Overall I gave it a 9/10. It improves on everything that made the original special, but became better than the original because of that in every way.

[@Henry-fn1zw]

Glen Powell glazing is crazy

[@CLagos39]

After watching the movie I can’t blame him 😂

[@dumon4264]

He's a natural born movie star. It's hard not to love him

[@MarssBarss-k3e]

Most people would be bragging if someone they went to school with was that successful

[@Patrickdoyleoutdoors]

"After 28 years, we finally have a sequel to Twister!" Um, no we dont!

[@ericmcinnes2508]

I watch all your videos, Cody's and Jeremy's (among others) and as a older father my reviews align with yours... Keep up the good work.

[@WarrenVanWyck15]

Twister was the first movie I saw in theaters without my parents. Loved it. I'm hoping Twisters can live up to the original!

[@masonbrinton8587]

Saw this movie with my girlfriend last night, we loved it and had a blast! It was also stormy outside when we left the theater so that was pretty fun.

[@connieoliver7369]

I just saw Twisters today with my sister's. One 61 Me 71 and tge other 83. We all loved the movie. More so than the first. I highly recommend seeing it. Loved the cast. The story. A+ From me

[@noctissky794]

It was really good.

[@roomforscream]

It's been SO long since I've experienced a blockbuster movie and this was just brought me back to great theater memories as a kid! I loved Twisters!

[@paradisecity0406able]

Sean grew up with Twister

[@NinthShinigami]

Really excited to check this one out!

[@masonsamvsandmemes5114]

I’ve been so excited for this movie ever since it was announced back last year. I cannot wait to see it tomorrow with the family in IMAX

[@Tra5h_boat6368]

This was my first time seeing a movie in 4DX and it was such a blast

[@narukamizanagi8645]

I thought it was just okay. I think watching the original Twister the day before I saw this made me feel like I wasn’t watching anything new. I actually like the original slightly more than the new one largely because of that. I also felt more invested in the characters of the original more than the original.

[@laquitasmith6774]

I agree with you! I re-watched the original a few days b4 the new release and I realized I was so much more invested in that story too But this new one is fine

[@rudyclarkejohnson4625]

I am very intrigued to watch this especially after watching the trailers!

[@jeremybertrand8270]

I can tell the reviewers that are not from the Midwest and tornado alley. I think most people would be shocked to find out that the circus part of Tornadoes is very real. Some people hear warning sirens then grab their keys to go chase the tornado. Then there are tornadoes that people know better than to try to chase. I thought the movie brought that out surprisingly well.

[@laquitasmith6774]

That’s a cool fact Shocking that ppl really chase them like that!

[@mrreddick2633]

I wasn't on the edge of my seat.

[@brandenmanuel2037]

I was skeptical about Twisters at first, expecting it to be another Independence Day 2, but now my hopes are up after this review.

[@ulisestorres1122]

So this is the sequel to Original Twister

[@leblancgeorges1479]

It hasn't much to do with the original Twister.No real connection just pretty much the same story.For a reported 200 million budget i was expecting alot more than this.

[@theell9014]

I just got home from watching Twisters. I would also have given it an A-, but the over reliance on the handheld/shaky camera constantly took me out of the movie. Why film something if we can't see it? And no, it absolutely does not give me the sense that "I am there." So, personally, my initial A- drops to a B-.

[@austinwillcut4919]

I saw this Thursday night, a lot better than I thought it would be. Would you like to see a third film? I'd be up for another one.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I would too. If I had to rank the two films in the franchise I would have the original at number 1, but I still really enjoyed Twisters

[@ericthorpereviews]

I somehow didn’t know David Corenswet was in this until watching this review haha (admittedly only makes me that much more interested in seeing it at some point)

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I didn’t even realize he was in the movie until I saw his name in the credits

[@edsfilmicforays5733]

Good review, Sean. I wouldn't call your 'Bad' bad, and I wouldn't call the movie 'dumb'. Ludicrous at points for sure, but smart enough to embrace its own craziness while creating a bit of character depth. And I'd expect nothing less from the screenwriter of Top Gun: Maverick - someone who knows how to create big-scale genre fun while maintaining a tenuous connection with reality! 😁

[@JakeTheMan784]

Dude the opening 15 minutes were awesome

[@vls3771]

Better than i thought good fun Lead she did a good job .. dialogue a bit corny at times ..effects cool One complaint was actress who played mother had so much top lip filler injected it looked like a deformaty very distracting my partner said "that lip needs to be in the credits" Weird 😅

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

Saw this last night and loved it! My only criticism was the often last-minute save, but that's very minor and happens in most action movies.

[@themarshmallowman-w5p]

Im excited to see this one

[@hansenjacob545]

My Mom really liked the actress who was in the original film so naturally I watched the original a lot growing up. I'm very excited to see this with my entire family on Sunday. Also side note the cast for this film also has me excited. Glen Powell is obvious but the last couple years Anthony Ramos has been in a lot of movies I enjoy and haven't really heard the girl lead but I'm excited to see what she brings to the film.

[@farhannr28]

This is the first time hearing bout the glen powell joke, can anyone fill me in?

[@adamkramer9080]

@@farhannr28 Glen Powell went to the same high school as Sean did... Only a couple years after Sean had graduated. After that, he began to refer to Glen Powell as his close-personal-friend whom he's never met. Then! When Hitman premiered and Glen Powell was inducted in the Texas Film Hall of Fame, Sean got to talk to both Glen Powell and Richard Linklater briefly. Now, the joke is that Glen Powell is Sean's close-personal-friend who he's only talked to for 30 seconds 😂 That's the comprehensive history of the Sean Chandler/Glen Powell lore 😄

I saw Twister (1996) either 2000 or 2001 in cable TV, that's so long time ago, I don't remember much from that experience. I was born in 1989. I've heard great things about Twister (1996) I need to find DVD from internet.

[@chelsey1087]

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

[@chelsey1087]

This movie was really good! I enjoyed every second of it. Very intense but gorgeous looking scenes even though it would be absolutely terrifying. For me this was definitely one of my favourite movies of this year so far

[@prastarkeepers]

So, two reboots to thirty year old blockbusters that end up being good, and both star Glenn Powell. Hmm, maybe he’s their good luck charm after all.

[@TheFilmSpace1]

I’ve seen the original! So many memories I was like 9 when it came out. Had the VHS. This one was good just left the theater. I thought Glen Powell was very cringe with the girl. She looked like a teenager and he looked old and creepy. That’s the only thing on that side. I didn’t like how she ditched her friend for some guy and the mom just invited him to stay. I think the middle part is the movie lost many people with the drama love story. Those are the reviews I read and they agreed. 7/10

[@chelsey1087]

She’s 26 and Glen Powell is 35. So her being 26 she is still very much a grown adult

[@nou1186]

Honestly that’s just your flawed perception of the two of them. She’s far from a teenager and she doesn’t look like one either. I could tell he was older, but not to an unacceptable degree.

[@tesseg]

Centrally its a popcorn. Just throw logic out the window. Just enjoy it for what it is.

[@Matolcsibenedek]

I kinda feel like glen powell is a little overrated. He seems to be playing himself in every movie. Yeah he has charisma thats undoubtable, but i just dont know how he would do in a role thats different to his personality

I watched twisters like 4 hours ago and just came back from home and I gotta I love it even tho it's has some pros and cons but my family hates the movie :(

[@christopherfrost1820]

Glen Powell was fun, and anthony ramos actually impressed me with his charisma(considering how much i disliked him in transformers) but daisy edgar jones is HORRIBLE, she has absolutely zero charisma, and her accent was atrocious, it slipped between no accent,bad southern,and british. I didnt care about her or her backstory because of just how piss poor her acting was

[@candycane-w7m]

Spot on, chris. daisy was definitely miscast and they neutered glenn's character halfway through. i thought a collaboration between the two would've been more believable. anthony's character should have taken an emo backseat, kate ain't all that great.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

I was actually never a big fan of the original Twister from 1996. I remember my dad got it on VHS. He used to buy movies in VHS from pawn shops when we lived in Colorado Springs from 1996-1999. I think I saw Twister in 1997. I didn’t see Independence Day in it’s original theatrical summer run either. I saw ID4 in one of those $1.50 theaters maybe in early 1997 when the movie was already at least 6 months old. I remember seeing Twister once at home and while I thought it was pretty good, I didn’t think much of it right after. I remember seeing the flying cow and Helen Hunt in a white tanktop a lot. I’ve read that the late Bill Paxton and her didn’t get along while shooting it. My favorite movie from 1996 is Kingpin. Twister was never one of my favorites from 1996 and I haven’t seen it in 27 years back in ‘97. Twister is similar to Deep Impact, Armageddon, and many other disaster movies that came out in the 90s: forgettable. The only disaster movie I like from that era was ID4 and it’s by no means perfect either. Welcome to Earth. Will Smith without a shred of surprise. I can’t stand Armageddon. Why do people like that movie? That Aerosmith song from it would play a hundred times on the radio similar to that Leann Rimes song in Con Air. I have zero fond nostalgia for those songs or for TLC’s “Waterfalls”. Seeing Twisters yesterday, I think it’s better and smarter than the 1996 original. But it’s not something I really want to watch again. Glenn Powell has charisma and he’s probably the next big A-list star. And Daisy Edgar-Jones who is actually British, is quite a babe like she was in Where the Crawdads Sing from 2 years ago. I just didn’t think much of the story. I’m not interested in tornado chasers. They’re just asking for trouble. Overall, I gave it 2.5 stars in my Letterboxd app. 2024 Movies/TV Favorite Rankings 1. Ted 2. Fly Me to the Moon 3. House of the Dragon Season 2 4. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 5. The Boys Season 4 6. Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 1 (of 3) 7. MaXXXine 8. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire 9. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 10. Bad Boys: Ride or Die 11. Ghostbusters: The Frozen Empire 12. The Bikeriders 13. Civil War 14. Horizon: An American Saga 15. Longlegs 16. A Quiet Place: Day One 17. Twisters 18. The Acolyte I’ve never seen Dune 2 and don’t have any urge to. I know that’s what most people will put at No. 1. I found the first one way too bland. As Maggie from deepfocuslens said, she finds these Dune movies very sterile. Extremely slow and boring. The Acolyte might be dead last, but I do think it’s overHATED. Some of the undeserved hatred comes from not only review bombing but people who’ve never seen it. They just parrot what other people say about it and go along with them. Currently rewatching Fly Me to the Moon a second time in the theater. I’m not into rom-coms, but this one I first saw yesterday after watching Twisters, I thoroughly enjoyed. Love the vibe it brings and the 1969 look. The story is actually pretty good. Probably the most fun NASA/astronaut movie I’ve ever seen. Pacing is good. Music is good. ScarJo has charisma and charm like Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan in the 90s. Channing Tatum has grown on me. I’m very much into comedies because it offers the highest replay value for me. I don’t think Fly Me to the Moon is the best movie of the year. It just happens to be my favorite for being so charming and it never feels slow. It has a historic background story that I find interesting for a rom-com. The Acolyte: D Ep. 1: C- Ep. 2: C- Ep. 3: D+ Ep. 4: D Ep. 5: B- Ep. 6: D Ep. 7: D Ep. 8: B- The Boys S4: B- Ep. 1: C+ Ep. 2: A- Ep. 3: B Ep. 4: A- Ep. 5: C- Ep. 6: D+ Ep. 7: B Ep. 8: B+ House of the Dragon S2: B+ Ep. 1: B Ep. 2: A- Ep. 3: C+ Ep. 4: A Ep. 5: C+ Ep. 6: ? Ep. 7: ? Ep. 8: ? I’m hearing from leaks that the Battle of Gullet will happen in Season 3 for House of the Dragon. Too costly. This event happens before the Fall of King’s Landing which happens in Ep. 8 but I guess they will save that battle for later. So I expect Ep. 6 and 7 to be slower paced episodes finding dragonseeds. Then the big finale that should have most people cheering. But I think S2 peaked in action from Ep. 4.

No comparing this updated version with the original. This one is way, way better.
