Why Twisters is BETTER Than the First | Movie Review

[@mickiamajor8110]

I had so much fun watching this movie in 4DX on a Sunday afternoon. Yes, Glenn is a movie star. I like his screen presence. Maverick was definitely his breakout role. So I wanted to see more of him. I love the original Twister, 🌪🐄 but I love this more. I like the chemistry between Glenn and Daisy's characters. This film showed the human side of when a natural disaster happens, for example donating, and showing compassion and having empathy/sympathy 🌪🌪🌪🌪 "You don't face your fears, you ride them." "If you feel it, chase it." A summer blockbuster for sure 🩶

as someone who watches almost every movie that comes out in theaters, i gotta say twisters has been the best movie i've watched in the last three years. i don't think ive ever left a movie theatre wishing there was more of something i just watched

[@jerryrichardjr.2128]

I really enjoyed the movie. I'm going to see it again with my friends.

[@Trill_Tour]

This is definitely more of a remake than an actual sequel. I was not expecting so many of the same plot lines and sequences as the original

[@Jason-..-]

Its not a remake nor a sequel. Just a stand alone movie

[@BeeDub57]

​@Jason-..- Nope, it's a sequel. The credits cite Micheal Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin, the original writers.

[@GCBN8]

​@@BeeDub57 maybe because they had a Dorothy and so many story beats and similar moments but Michael Crichton died in 2008 so he wasn't consulted on this movie.

[@Jason-..-]

​@@BeeDub57 that tells nothing. There is no apparent connection between this and twister. Its not a sequel. Get over it

[@Trill_Tour]

@@Jason-..- It doesn't need a connection to be a sequel. Halloween 3 is considered a sequel

[@meiagal]

She was in a War of the Worlds tv show too.

[@CookwithIpohbunny]

​​@@nevetsny1I rewatched Set It Up. Man Glen Powell has amazing acting chops and comic timing. And with those matinee idol looks, I expect him to go far. Daisy is a superb actress too. Those expressive eyes!!

[@kjohnsto1]

I loved Twisters. I watched it in 4DX which probably helped too but I had high hopes for this and I wasnt disappointed. I am surprised that it seems to be divisive in terms of reviews but its a win for me.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

I appreciate that the director said he didn't want the film to be anything political at all, but the thing is, in the 2020s, *just* making a film _celebrating Americana_ IS a political statement of a sort. Just making a film about a normal heterosexual relationship where s3x isn't shown on screen IS a political move, sadly. Just making a film featuring a straight white male character who is *_unapologetically masculine and assertive_* is a political statement. THAT'S why I loved it -- even more than the riveting tension. Just like TG Maverick, it _celebrates_ the strong masculine hero archetype, instead of doing what's "in vogue" right now and sh!tting on it. I'm a 24-year-old woman, so I'm not the target demographic for disaster/monster movies. But I LOVED this movie, because I *_freaking miss_* films where the male main character isn't shat on the whole time, made to look weak, or subjected to a beat-down from a Mary Sue Not-Like-Other-Girls Feminist GirlBoss! And furthermore, I freaking miss films with female characters who are smart and capable without being "underdog" Mary Sue feminists! I loved the main plot of this movie too, but I was SOLD by the wholesome, natural, flirty banter between a masculine man and a smart but feminine woman who wasn't insufferable. No disgust from the woman at the man's _aUDAcitY_ to flirt with her, no speech from her about how men ruin everything or treat women like objects. In fact, she _literally tells him to chase her at the end!_ When was the last time anyone in Hollywood did that?? I just could not get over how much I missed that flirty dynamic between a normal straight man and a normal straight woman, that WASN'T about the man cow-towing to the woman's feminist awesomeness, but instead holding his own and being a man, and even _protecting her_ (the rodeo scene)!! I think _that's_ why audiences of both genders are eating up this movie.

[@jasper9159]

Really enjoyed this movie, kinda surprised by the reaction of some reviewers saying the chemistry is lacking. I thought the chemistry was fantastic

[@ogi1381]

Enjoyable 3,5/5

[@Kiira982]

Yep. Agree.

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

Twister was a movie I would rent constantly at block buster growing up watched it at 5 years old, for the first time. When the film came out in 1996 I was almost 3 months old. My dad and mom hold that original movie close it. Was their first date after having me

[@maxxmagnum007]

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I went to the theatre with a group of 8 adults that loved the first Twister movie. 7 out of 8 really enjoyed the movie and especially seeing it on the big screen. I only go to the theatre for disaster style movies. I really liked this movie enough to go see it again. I liked the way they showed tribute to the first Twister movie by having several simular scenes and simular character personalities. Its made the movie more fun. 4 out of 5 stars.

[@owentanner8368]

Great review. Hope you are having a good holiday. I think Twisters has to be my 2nd favourite movie of the year (behind Dune). I just had so much fun with it

[@AustinBurke]

Awesome!

[@daniellawson8182]

Twister is my favourite movie of the 90s so i had some trepidation but it was pretty good and an enjoyable reboot with good cast.Downsides are lack of Van Halen and while the tornado scenes are good,i doubt ill remember them in 20-30 years like i did twister. Solid 7/10

[@williamwallace576]

Agreed! The tornadoes lacked character. And while the script of the original wasn’t perfect, I can still quote it to this day. This movie was fun, but I feel ultimately forgettable. Which is fine! It doesn’t have to become an instant classic like the original did.

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

it was surprisingly Great

[@OrionInSpace]

I watched the original recently for the technical first time because I also once saw a little bit of it on tv when I was young. It’s a decent film for sure I agree. The original is definitely one of the better disaster movies but the thing that will blow my mind the most is that if Twisters makes just a little bit over $500M worldwide then this franchise officially becomes a $1B IP. That’s insane…😅

[@GCBN8]

It's odd how these days the film industry is struggling. Yet so many movies make a billion dollars! Also, the movies they make these days aren't nearly as good as they used to be. 80s and 90s films were iconic! Now they're just projects to check off agendas or a quick tax write-off to make million dollar pay checks for the executives!

I wish I liked this movie. I didn’t hate it but it was watching it and even though there were destruction and “fun” happening, I wasn’t engaged. I was just emotionless watching it. The characters didn’t make me feel anything. Is it me? Maybe it’s just me.

[@leblancgeorges1479]

A few scenes worked and got me emotional but i still feel that it was unsatisfying as a movie.

[@roastbeefy0weefy]

I felt the same way. Really awkward soundtrack. Kept making the tough decision between data collection and helping people, but then not really doing anything to help the people. Way higher death count but way less suspense. Making fun of science and "fancy degrees" but then hinging the whole climax on complex science that isn't explained accessibly. Just felt thrown together and not very lived in.

[@Pupeyes]

@@roastbeefy0weefy you really hit that nail on the head. Those are my gripes with the movie. Then is was 122 minutes. I was ready for it to get going at parts. Funny you mentioned the soundtrack. I didn’t like it either. That one song, “All men are easy” hahaha I was like, what is this movie about?

[@eddiemiller3469]

Well, if you haven’t seen it in 4DX, ya are missing the fun. I recommend seeing it that way while it’s still in the format. Yes the movie is good too but the 4DX is an experience like no other but if you back trouble I wouldn’t recommend it as this one jolted me pretty hard most intense 4DX experience I’ve had yet.

[@melissafrierson]

[@williamwallace576]

Great review! The original is my all-time favorite movie. This one was fun, and I plan to see it again, but the magic of the original wasn’t there for me. I appreciate the filmmaker’s restraint when it comes to nostalgia baiting. One of the things I loved about the original was that each of the tornadoes was its own character with different sound effects and movements (Jan de Bont said this was intentional). I didn’t like that this movie didn’t do that and instead opted to just overlay music with almost all tornado scenes. Loved the rodeo twister though! I think that’s because it’s the one scene in this movie that captured what made the original so great. The original was a tense thrill ride and this one was more of a drama with a tornado scene here and there.

[@FiestaTX17]

Just saw it in DBOX at Cinemark. It was awesome! Haven’t seen the original Twister in a long time, but I only really remember liking it because of Bill Paxton. This one is Just fun entertainment to make you smile and leave you with a hell of a good time. Glen Powell just oozes charisma and Daisy Edgar Jones is highly underrated in her own right. Pure escapism at its finest, Hollywood just doesn’t make movies that are this fun anymore.

[@WildNorthWestern]

the biggest sin this movie made was taking the fear away from a tornado. because heck just drive straight into it. nothing would hit the truck at all. tornado was awe inspiring in the original. The actors were also allot better. i tried to like this movie. It was ok like a 5 or 6 outa 10. Was kinda bored because I didnt care about anyone.

[@williamwallace576]

The tornadoes in the original had character. The action was visceral and thrilling. I agree, something here felt off, but it was still enjoyable

[@Chefeluaniscolina]

It is directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who had directed independent films and now brings us this independent Reboot to the 1996 Twister film

*spoiler(ish)* Was anyone else rooting for her to end up with her friend instead of Glen? The OG Twister's love triangle pissed me off too. The fiancé got done dirty!

For the Achana with prayers. Remember to Touch the flame of the lighted lamp and put it on top of your head This is to get the divinity, in this case Babaji, into your body and raise your consciousness. This is Haarti For any flowers they throw at you, catch them and place on your shoulders. Flowers catch the dignity messages from the spaces and they directly transmit to you as a participant of the video For the food offerings, raise your hands to take the food. This is Praasad. This is to mentally enact as if you are taking the food so that you are enriched spiritually. Use your right hand always For completeness sake sometimes they take the water in a pot that has been prayed and sprinkle it towards you with a sprig. You are to catch it and drop on your head. It is not applicable here. The water helps to purify you as a divine being

This movie is a run-off sentence version of the original. The characters were just kinda 'thrown in." I didn't mind the love story but everything else felt rapid and bland. There was not enough emotion and there was no flow between scenes. Very choppy film.

I really don't get the obsession that surrounds Glen Powell. He's not a bad actor by any means but nowhere even close to the level he gets talked about in. Was decent but out acted in Hitman and Twister.

[@everythingweather]

I absolutely loved Twisters. I easily enjoyed this more than the OG on every level. The special effects, story, characters, drama, disaster scenes were all much better than the OG. A 9/10 film for me.

[@williamwallace576]

I agree that the story, character development, and drama were probably all better than the original, but the OG was much better with the disaster scenes, score, and I would argue that the practical set pieces of the original made it feel more visceral and real. Glad you loved it though! I plan to see it a couple more times before it leaves theaters.

[@dannykent6190]

I liked this one too... but the special effects were terrible compared to the original. I can still watch the original to this day and not even think about the fact that I'm watching special effects. This one they couldn't even realistically recreate dandelion fuzz.

[@leblancgeorges1479]

Most tornado films have had a bad reputation.Think about Sharknado or all these cheap Asylum films.Twisters doesn't reinvent the wheel or make new special effects that are much better than in 1996.There is something unsatifying about it.Considering the 200 million budget i was expecting alot more.Some scenes are emotional though but my first thoughts is that the film was a disappointment.

[@candycane-w7m]

Well said, leblanc. It was boring to me. Bad character development, too much Daisy, not enough Glenn and others. I also didn't like they threw Daisy in Helen's '90s outfit in one scene, white tank top/tan cargos. That's trying too hard, not being creative.

[@GCBN8]

​​@@candycane-w7mI disagree the character development was bad or at least it wasn't bad for every character. Daisy obviously finished what she started in the beginning by releasing the chemical and stopping the tornado. I wished but I wished the guys would've ran out there and then they run back or something while out running the tornado, that would've felt more adventurous. I also thought she was quite boring and not super attractive so I don't know why all these guys are falling over her because she only really loved her guy from the beginning. We definitely needed more Glen Powell though!

[@candycane-w7m]

@@GCBN8 imo, character development and storyline was incongruent. just a bunch of tornadic scenes tossed with a multitude of actors, too many really. the very ending was silly, as well.

[@GCBN8]

I agree. The tornados are more realistic this time but they didn't have enough character to me. The tornados in the og felt like monsters. They always felt far away but right on you which is realistic. I wish they had more fun with this. And the triangle love story that didn't hit its potential was sad. They did my boy, Ramos, so wrong. Made him such a simp or something. He had no chance against that Glen Powell face but he's the one who deserved to be with her. I was so dissatisfied for that part of the story.

It's a remake/reboot but done worse. Only the CGI was 'better' and that isn't something that can be attributed to this film unlike its "predecessor". Almost every scene was taken from the original. The story is almost identical. And the worst part is the despite the title and the font it is written in, it has exactly ZERO to do with the original in any way, shape or form.
