I watched the original IN a drive in, and there was real storm clouds and lightning flashing in the background! One of my most memorable movie experiences, for sure!
1. Why aren't there basements? Shallow water table means most basements would be wet and moldy all the time unless specific things are done to prevent it. And those things can cost as much as the rest of the house. In short, most people simply cannot afford it. 2. Why don't we build tornado-resistant housing? It is nearly impossible to build against. While you could probably build a structure to withstand an F-1 or F-2 tornado, anything above that is probably not going to survive the intense and concentrated winds. Here in FL, we build to try to withstand most hurricane forces. But our strongest hurricanes are about the same as a mild to medium tornado. And building a home that can withstand a Cat 5 hurricane costs several million dollars. It's simply out of reach for 99% of people.
Just saw it. Definitely enjoyed the movie. I was on the fence about seeing it, but after seeing this review from grace I knew it would be good because her taste in movies is awful 😂
It breaks my heart you didn’t feel the joy and excitement me and my friends did while watching this movie! I respect your opinion, I just really loved this film!
Richard Linklater gave Matthew Mcconaughey his breakout role in his movie, "Dazed and Confused." Glen Powell has been in three of Richard Linklater's movies: Fast Food Nation, Everybody Wants Some and Hitman." Glen Powell co-wrote the screenplay for Hitman. Glen has the It factor that makes someone a star and I think Richard was able to appreciate that early in Glen's acting career.
This is it. When people compare him to Tom Cruise, I'm like "hmmm, not quite" but I couldn't put my finger on it--McConaughey hits the nail on the head.
For my Taste McConnaughy has way more swagger. I enjoy his Rom Coms. Glen Powel is very stiff and bland romantically for my taste. He isn't cool. He plays the bully straight edge really well in Maverick though. Which I think is by far his best performance to date.
3:45 Reportedly, Helen Hunt WAS gonna be in this film when it was greenlit back in 2020, but Helen was let go of the movie due to creative differences. Supposedly, she wanted too much control over the film's script
They should've let her have control. I've seen the movie (a streaming site I like to go to to watch stuff for free had it up, although it was a copy where someone filmed the movie in the movie theater), and it was garbage. Helen probably would've made something better than what we actually got.
Seems to me like Hellen.....eh....i mean Helen went through hell to make the first one.She didn't even want to do it at first.I don't think that she's sorry that she didn't make the second one.
My problem with the new twisters movie is there's nothing that's like a "wow iconic I need to see this moment" that the first movie had, no rolling house, no cow no nothing.
Watching again, those scenes take me out of the original since the action is so unrealistic and goofy. Vehicles and animals floating in slow motion next to characters in mild wind speeds just doesn't cut it anymore unless you could care less about science stuff like that.
I loved this movie! Saw it in 4dx and that was an absolute blast! I think general audiences are gonna love this one. It has a solid movie blockbuster feeling
Mainstream international audiences already didn't like much at all, and going by presales not even a domestic Avengers-level WoM will be able to lift this one
this movie never interested me, the first one was okay but nothing very special, so i never saw a reason to be excited for this....however 4DX experience might actually be a reason
Well, I've seen the movie. There really is no wow moment. There is nothing memorable either like the smaller/non-tornado chasing stuff like The Shining at the drive-in or the steak and eggs scene.
Just saw the movie, I'm sorry I got to disagree, this movie was so intriguing to me! Much better story than the Original movie, that was just (while pretty cool at times) action sequences to the next (the whole film felt like it took place ridiculously in the same afternoon) And the weak subplot of the Main characters trying to get divorced, only to drag the new fiancé comicly through the movie until he falls back in love with his ex, leaving the new girl behind..... ....This new one was so much better!!! Adding in the facts that these new characters go as far to continuously help people in the wake of the disasters throughout, the main characters this time falling in love after realizing they're more alike than each other thought initially, and of course the new plot device of actually breaking up the tornadoes than just gaining data on them, to of course be the climax! There was nothing but heart throughout this movie, how could one of your opening statements say otherwise, Grace? Plus, I never felt like Ramos was supposed to be in a love triangle with Jones and Powell. I mean, Corenswet did make that one tease dis at him, referring to her being his "girlfriend" while he was mad at Ramos, but the relationship always felt platonic Lastly, absolutely disagree again about the CGI, while the first film did of course have some amazing practical effects....all I could think watching it is how rough and terrible it looked when they did use GGI......the new film is 10 times better in that aspect besides again of course then not using more practical effects this time.
Yeah Grace saying the film has no heart is ridiculous but honestly with some of Grace recent reviews (Mario Bros movie, Acolyte,) I can't really take her reviews seriously but I still watch them to see how they line up with other reviewers to get a overview on a film.
I watched it with my family last week and we all loved it. It delivered what was promised no more no less. If you go with that mindset you'll enjoy it.
I hated it. I went into the movie hoping to like it because I absolutely hated the divorce/fiancée stuff from the first movie. I figured there would be none of that in the movie and things were already looking better. Nope. The sequel is even worse. After 30-45 minutes I was "I wish I was watching the divorce/fiancée stuff from the first movie. At least I can have fun hating on it." Plus the first movie still has a lot of positives. I can't find a single thing positive to say about the sequel. It was garbage. I want to say a part of me thinks the sequel was made so I would appreciate the first movie more.
@ Grace I met Bill Paxton at comicpalooza 2016 and got his autograph and shoot his hand and asked him briefly if he’d ever make a twister sequel and he said he’d love to see one get made
They missed a huge opportunity by not making her Helen hunt’s daughter who is obsessed with killing tornadoes. I liked it but it could have been better like Grace said needed more heart .
Worse things happens to animals at state fairs than at rodeos, do not look up Ox Pulls. And if people are willing to do that to animals in front of a crowd, imagine how these animals are treated in private on farms. Sorry for the mini rant
The PETA protest wasn’t about the animals in the movie, it was about exactly that. If you look up their statement they wanted the studios to put disclaimers about the cruelty in the real life events.
Grace: I can’t believe I ran into you at the Imax screening of this movie tonight. I was waiting to see it to watch the review. I hope you enjoyed it more the second time around (it was a party at the theater!). Thanks for being so generous and kind 🙏
Yes, I'm so glad you said "hi"! I often see movies again with friends or family, even if I didn't care for them. I still have issues with the film, but I agree with you that was definitely a great crowd at that showing. Their energy was fantastic! Again it was nice chatting with you! :)
I don't think Javi was supposed to be love interest. It's clear in the movie the other stormchaser was her boyfriend. He is more of her friend and there is no love triangle. This is even touched on in the final scenes.
I made the mistake of watching the original for the first time a few days before I saw the sequel. I say mistake because the OG is so good it ruined this one for me a bit :( this one isn’t bad but it’s unfortunately a bit boring
Hey grace as someone who is deep into the weather chasing community, chasers are usually th first to show up to the scene because they are there front line tryin to chase the tornado. Lot of times emergency management isn’t first to be on the scene during tornado damaged towns
I have to say, this is a take I didn’t agree with. The movie was actually really fun after you lowered my expectations (thank you) and you compared two scenes that had nothing to do with each other. The rodeo is the outdoor theatre comparison, not the theatre they ran to for shelter. It seemed like you tried really hard to connect the two when they really respected that space and became it’s own thing. I do think they should’ve had an OG cameo though.
I'm astonished that you've never seen 'Where the Crawdads Sing' Grace. Get the Blu Ray or stream it asap. (The book is even better but I don't want to push my luck! )
New Remake Of 1987 Stephen King Movie Gets Major Filming Update From Star Glen PowellThe Running Man remake, starring Glen Powell, will start filming this fall, aiming for a 2025 release.🎉🎉🎉
nothing about this movie interest me. There’s only so far you can go with a movie about twisters until it gets ridiculous plus none of the people starring in it are movie stars to me.
Native Oklahoman here… I will say a large percentage of houses have cellars. There are not many public shelters aside from some churches, and schools because well, what we’re told is that insurance companies don’t want to cover that type of liability.
I saw the movie last night. I have to give a little push back on your opinion on David Cornswet's character. Honestly I don't think his character required alot of charisma. As a former Marine myself he played the character perfectly. He was supposed to be a serious, wooden, sarcastic military guy. He did just that.
I feel like the only person who wasn't excited about this film even though I was a fan of the first one. The trailers looked pretty bad to me, so I'm not surprised to hear that you thought the film had problems, Grace. It certainly LOOKED like it has problems.
I saw it last week and it was a fun summer entertaining movie, I went with my family and everyone had a really good time. The theatrical experience is great.
In my opinion, I watched the 1st movie, and I didn't get the appeal of it. There were some great moments, but watching people chase tornados just didn't make sense to me lol
Honestly, I'm just here for Glen Powell! I've been a fan since his Scream Queens days, it's disappointing it sounds like he isn't even a co-lead. I was wondering about Daisy Edgar Jones, saw her Crawdads (tbf I had a lot of problems with the original novel) and while I didn't think she was terrible she comes across kinda bland. She seems really bland in the trailers I've seen for this too.
If you love the first film, don’t go in expecting this to be anything like it. I saw it this afternoon with friends, we were so hyped for it. One friend left to take phone call about halfway into it and didn’t come back. Another fell asleep. I envy people who can fall asleep sitting up. I thought it was okay.
I agree with everything Grace said. The original had everything going for it but this sequel couldn't match it. The whole tone was different and not once did I feel like the tornadoes were the antagonists. The way they formed and growled in the original is unmatched. The eerie music as well. Twisters was a missed opportunity in my opinion.
I don’t know how you can look at a film like this and NOT come to the conclusion that Hollywood is simply fundamentally broken. These issues are pervasive in film after film after film. Soundstages are replacing on-site locations, shoddy VFX are replacing artistic practical effects, and cinematography has become copy-paste from movie to movie. Cinema as an art form is dying all in the name of profit.
Oh man i LOVED it, saw it in Imax and had a really fun time with my popcorn & soda. Many flaws but i wasn't watching it to have my mind blown. Money well spent at the theater for me. The rodeo scene was incredible (when you see it, you'll know) - & those animals are really well trained for Hollywood & production. I think they are fine.
The trailer never made me feel like “wow! That’s gonna be incredible” it was always like “meh, that looks like fun I guess”. Can’t say I’m surprised it didn’t hit. I feel like it’s appealing to a very niche audience, but I could be wrong.
I would say that in general, even when they're supposed to be non-spoiler, all of Grace's are spoiler reviews. She's gotten better in the past year (no more spoiler images as the thumbnail), but if you want to go in truly non-spoiled, watch Grace's review after you've seen the movie.
I don't know what her deal is man, the movie was fun and good and I use to make independent movies in the early 2000s and grace has no clue on how hard it is to make a movie, I can't watch her anymore, she's just isn't credible anymore
Actor/filmmaker, from Oklahoma here, who used to be a storm chaser. Saw it with friends. Gave it a 6.5/10. The heart wasn’t there. The special fx are undoubtedly good, no complaints there. BUT the movie steps away from legit science super early on in regards to their approach to meteorology, which shocks me since they supposedly had meteorologists helping them workshop the more science based weather sequences. One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen was when they set off fireworks inside a tornado. For what reason? Because explosions and colors, yeah!!! ‘Merica! Script wise, heart and dialogue wise, and caliber of actor wise, the second film doesn’t hold a candle to Twister (1996). Rip to Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
I'm out of the loop on movies in general but why was there so much hype for this movie in the first place? I saw the original one and it was fine but I didn't really think about it afterwards, so was confused why I kept hearing this movie mentioned months before it came out.
Considering there’s been so many unnecessary sequels and remakes and spin-offs and reboots recently, it’s nice to have one of them which actually tries and doesn’t feel completely soulless.
Daisy Edgar Jones actually is really good in Where the Crawdads Sing, super melodramatic movie but I eat that stuff up for movies sometimes 😅 I pretty much have no interest in Twisters, but good to know to tell my dad tho! He’s the one more excited for this & it takes a lot for my dad to be excited about new movies.
First and foremost - why is Helen Hunt not in this movie? Even if she wasn't a main character, I just do not get it. It has to be said - what in the world is the deal with awful CGI nowadays? It almost seems like an epidemic. It can't be for a lack of budget because this film had a 200 million dollar budget. As Grace said, everything being CGI and a lack of any real practical effects makes everything feel flat, digitized and unreal. The best VFX always seems to be a blend of CGI for things that need to be CGI and practical effects mixed in to ground the CGI and give it a real world feel. Marvel has had this problem for phase 5(although some of it does seem to be down to the constant script changes and crunch), but even aside from the crunch, it feels like EVERYTHING is CGI'd. I haven't seen Twisters yet so I cannot comment on the CGI, but I immediately felt from seeing the trailers that the Twisters themselves and the CGI looked really flat and underwhelming. Grace also hit it on the head when she said about the original Twister having better VFX than this. The original Twister holds up so well and they did all kinds of effects to ground the movie and make it feel real( I'm thinking about the scene where they drive by Meg's town that was destroyed by the tornado, Meg's house crumbling while her and the dog are inside it, the truck falling out of the sky at the beginning of the movie, the infamous house scene where they drive through, the fuel tanker exploding, the cows flying, etc.) Ok, maybe the flying cows weren't practical VFX 😉.
You have some valid points here that I didn't even consider. At the same time, this was about a perfect as an American summer blockbuster as you can get. I enjoyed it, despite everything.
I watched the movie and was very disappointed. The only reason they call it Twisters was to get fans of the original to watch a “sequel” of a movie they love. Expect it’s not a sequel. No original characters come back, only one reference to the original which makes no sense. WHERE IS HELEN HUNT?!?! They should’ve called it something else
Other than the lead woman character, I did not like the characters in this story but I did like the plot and the emphasis on helping people and spoilers her experiment working at the end.

1. Why aren't there basements? Shallow water table means most basements would be wet and moldy all the time unless specific things are done to prevent it. And those things can cost as much as the rest of the house. In short, most people simply cannot afford it.

Fun fact: the United States is the only place in the world with large scale twisters, and tourists from all over the world come here to see them.
i mean Tornado Alley is called so for a reason
Weird I didn’t know that so no where on the world it happens but here
@@BigBrianBruce it happens in other places in the world but just not as often as USA

Yup
Seen it myself with a packed audience and it was a fun time. Even more so in 4DX
@federalbureauofinvestigati3564 why spend time here then
Just saw it. Definitely enjoyed the movie. I was on the fence about seeing it, but after seeing this review from grace I knew it would be good because her taste in movies is awful 😂

It breaks my heart you didn’t feel the joy and excitement me and my friends did while watching this movie! I respect your opinion, I just really loved this film!
I also didn’t like this movie l thought it wasn’t even exciting- very dull characters
I think Glen Powell is the new Mathew Mcconaughey. The way he speaks and carries himself in this was SO similar to Mathew in Magic Mike.
Richard Linklater gave Matthew Mcconaughey his breakout role in his movie, "Dazed and Confused." Glen Powell has been in three of Richard Linklater's movies: Fast Food Nation, Everybody Wants Some and Hitman." Glen Powell co-wrote the screenplay for Hitman. Glen has the It factor that makes someone a star and I think Richard was able to appreciate that early in Glen's acting career.
This is it. When people compare him to Tom Cruise, I'm like "hmmm, not quite" but I couldn't put my finger on it--McConaughey hits the nail on the head.
For my Taste McConnaughy has way more swagger. I enjoy his Rom Coms. Glen Powel is very stiff and bland romantically for my taste. He isn't cool. He plays the bully straight edge really well in Maverick though. Which I think is by far his best performance to date.
he has a psycho smile but what do I know?
Except I don’t think Glen will ever get an Oscar..🫣🫣🫣

I thought it was a really fun movie. My gf and I absolutely loved it honestly.
What's the problem with Glen Powell's interviews?
Just saw the movie, I'm sorry I got to disagree, this movie was so intriguing to me!
Much better story than the Original movie, that was just (while pretty cool at times) action sequences to the next (the whole film felt like it took place ridiculously in the same afternoon) And the weak subplot of the Main characters trying to get divorced, only to drag the new fiancé comicly through the movie until he falls back in love with his ex, leaving the new girl behind.....

Yeah Grace saying the film has no heart is ridiculous but honestly with some of Grace recent reviews (Mario Bros movie, Acolyte,) I can't really take her reviews seriously but I still watch them to see how they line up with other reviewers to get a overview on a film.
So they made a movie called it Twisters but had less tornadoes than the first Twister.
It has more but the first movie has more momentum
More than Kevin Costner, I get Kurt Russell vibes. You've got the action star, heartthrob, killer smile, and a man who oozes charisma.
It’s so bizarre that Anthony Ramos is taking a selfie with people protesting his movie. 😂😂😂
I think it’s Glen Powell
That's Glen Powell and the people protesting are behind the people he's taking a photo with
It’s Glen
Daisy was incredible in Normal People Grace, so good.
I still re-watch Normal People every once in a while. Paul Mescal got the awards for that show, but Daisy's performance made that show for me.
She was great in this movie. She stole every scene she was in it.
I am a huge fan of the OG and had a great time with Twisters
I've always said that Glenn Powell should play Cyclops in the X-Men for Marvel.

I feel a lot of the Midwest will wait on this as we keep getting hammered with tornadoes.
Good point
Glenn Powell as cyclops… 🤔 Love it Grace. Feige don’t blow it and make it happen! 😂
As someone who didn’t care for the first twister, this movie is really good!!!
They missed a huge opportunity by not making her Helen hunt’s daughter who is obsessed with killing tornadoes. I liked it but it could have been better like Grace said needed more heart .

Nothing like being honest - Thanks Grace ❤
Also, how is the 1996 movie have BETTER effects than this one? Shocking.
Watched it today. Loved it!
What’s there to spoil over a movie about Tornados? 😂😂

When Grace is saying its a bad MOVIE...YOU MUST WATCH IT...BECAUSE ITS A MASTERPIECE 😡😡
Usually I’d agree… but in the is case, Twisters is awful. Truly laughable… and 200M?!?
And that stays true for this film as well.
I don't think Javi was supposed to be love interest. It's clear in the movie the other stormchaser was her boyfriend. He is more of her friend and there is no love triangle. This is even touched on in the final scenes.
To me the tornadoes lost all threat or sense of dread when you had people driving into them playing jolly country music and firing off fireworks.
GRACE HAD NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT!
I made the mistake of watching the original for the first time a few days before I saw the sequel. I say mistake because the OG is so good it ruined this one for me a bit :( this one isn’t bad but it’s unfortunately a bit boring
Had quite the premiere last night here in Chicago… at least 10 confirmed tornados all simultaneously 🌪️ IN THE CITY not the suburbs
Right! I live in Chicago and the sirens, wind, lightning were crazy lol
Same! I'm in the same area!
They really need to bring back practical effects. Too much cgi takes you out of it
Whether bad or good I’m seeing this in 4dx
I watched it. I loved it. It was a great time and easy to digest. Not as good as the og but it’s really fun
Hey grace as someone who is deep into the weather chasing community, chasers are usually th first to show up to the scene because they are there front line tryin to chase the tornado. Lot of times emergency management isn’t first to be on the scene during tornado damaged towns
They didn’t do a lot of long shots of the twisters themselves, which I thought was disappointing
As a fan of Daisy, definitely watching it!!
I have to say, this is a take I didn’t agree with. The movie was actually really fun after you lowered my expectations (thank you) and you compared two scenes that had nothing to do with each other.

As a former Marine myself he played the character perfectly. He was supposed to be a serious, wooden, sarcastic military guy. He did just that.
Glen Powell gone from side character to certified movie star span of 24 month,
This … this is the first time I don’t agree with Grace in the least. I am shocked. It was the most fun I’ve had at the movies in forever.
Nothing will beat Twister!! Period!!!
I feel like the only person who wasn't excited about this film even though I was a fan of the first one. The trailers looked pretty bad to me, so I'm not surprised to hear that you thought the film had problems, Grace. It certainly LOOKED like it has problems.
I saw it last week and it was a fun summer entertaining movie, I went with my family and everyone had a really good time. The theatrical experience is great.
In my opinion, I watched the 1st movie, and I didn't get the appeal of it. There were some great moments, but watching people chase tornados just didn't make sense to me lol
Honestly, I'm just here for Glen Powell! I've been a fan since his Scream Queens days, it's disappointing it sounds like he isn't even a co-lead.
I was wondering about Daisy Edgar Jones, saw her Crawdads (tbf I had a lot of problems with the original novel) and while I didn't think she was terrible she comes across kinda bland. She seems really bland in the trailers I've seen for this too.
I agree with you about the main character’s parents. A Helen Hunt cameo would have been great!
If you love the first film, don’t go in expecting this to be anything like it. I saw it this afternoon with friends, we were so hyped for it. One friend left to take phone call about halfway into it and didn’t come back. Another fell asleep. I envy people who can fall asleep sitting up. I thought it was okay.
They sort of had a nod to Bill Paxton, his son has a cameo in the movie.
I agree with everything Grace said. The original had everything going for it but this sequel couldn't match it. The whole tone was different and not once did I feel like the tornadoes were the antagonists. The way they formed and growled in the original is unmatched. The eerie music as well. Twisters was a missed opportunity in my opinion.
I completely agree with your review. Thought I was the only 1 who felt that way after leaving the theater.
I don’t know how you can look at a film like this and NOT come to the conclusion that Hollywood is simply fundamentally broken. These issues are pervasive in film after film after film. Soundstages are replacing on-site locations, shoddy VFX are replacing artistic practical effects, and cinematography has become copy-paste from movie to movie.
Cinema as an art form is dying all in the name of profit.
Oh man i LOVED it, saw it in Imax and had a really fun time with my popcorn & soda. Many flaws but i wasn't watching it to have my mind blown. Money well spent at the theater for me. The rodeo scene was incredible (when you see it, you'll know) - & those animals are really well trained for Hollywood & production. I think they are fine.
Tornado uproots trees but this truck with its little drills that are used to anchor it can withstand an F5?
The trailer never made me feel like “wow! That’s gonna be incredible” it was always like “meh, that looks like fun I guess”. Can’t say I’m surprised it didn’t hit. I feel like it’s appealing to a very niche audience, but I could be wrong.
The original might have had more practical effects but it was a nightmare for the actors.They had eye problems and some got wounded.
Worth it , that movie looked great
Wait, is this a non spoiler review?
I would say that in general, even when they're supposed to be non-spoiler, all of Grace's are spoiler reviews. She's gotten better in the past year (no more spoiler images as the thumbnail), but if you want to go in truly non-spoiled, watch Grace's review after you've seen the movie.
Javi is the new Melissa let that sink in lol
I don't know what her deal is man, the movie was fun and good and I use to make independent movies in the early 2000s and grace has no clue on how hard it is to make a movie, I can't watch her anymore, she's just isn't credible anymore
LoL, after savaging this movie for 20 minutes from most possible angles, Grace sums it all up with "it's fine".
Actor/filmmaker, from Oklahoma here, who used to be a storm chaser. Saw it with friends. Gave it a 6.5/10. The heart wasn’t there. The special fx are undoubtedly good, no complaints there. BUT the movie steps away from legit science super early on in regards to their approach to meteorology, which shocks me since they supposedly had meteorologists helping them workshop the more science based weather sequences. One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen was when they set off fireworks inside a tornado. For what reason? Because explosions and colors, yeah!!! ‘Merica!
Script wise, heart and dialogue wise, and caliber of actor wise, the second film doesn’t hold a candle to Twister (1996). Rip to Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Climate change IS NOT a political issue, it is a science issue.
For some people it became a religious issue
I always thought injecting romance into a disaster movie is incredibly stupid
I don't understand why people live in the tornado belt.i don't. Especially if they don't have a basement or shelter
This movie was so fun! The theater was packed here in California and everyone clapped!
I'm out of the loop on movies in general but why was there so much hype for this movie in the first place? I saw the original one and it was fine but I didn't really think about it afterwards, so was confused why I kept hearing this movie mentioned months before it came out.
The “No OG callbacks” are why people say you spoil stuff in these NON SPOILER reviews 😅
That's not even a spoiler, I'm glad to hear that rather than be disappointed waiting for something to show up in the movie
@@el_bman98that’s your interpretation, and glad it works for you
You got a spoiler for something that's NOT in the film, huh?
Considering there’s been so many unnecessary sequels and remakes and spin-offs and reboots recently, it’s nice to have one of them which actually tries and doesn’t feel completely soulless.
The cow didn't come back because she was asking too much money.lol
State fair would have been a great idea!
I know, right? The big Ferris Wheel spinning through the sky scene practically writes itself!
Rue - “Are you in Oklahoma?”
I have absolutely no interest in this. It’s certain to diminish the first.
What’s crazy to me is that the rotten tomato score for the original movie is lower than twisters
it's going for a 70-80mill opening that's 30-35mil more than estimates- it's doing something right - like a fun summer movie
Daisy Edgar Jones actually is really good in Where the Crawdads Sing, super melodramatic movie but I eat that stuff up for movies sometimes 😅
I pretty much have no interest in Twisters, but good to know to tell my dad tho! He’s the one more excited for this & it takes a lot for my dad to be excited about new movies.
First and foremost - why is Helen Hunt not in this movie? Even if she wasn't a main character, I just do not get it.
It has to be said - what in the world is the deal with awful CGI nowadays? It almost seems like an epidemic. It can't be for a lack of budget because this film had a 200 million dollar budget. As Grace said, everything being CGI and a lack of any real practical effects makes everything feel flat, digitized and unreal. The best VFX always seems to be a blend of CGI for things that need to be CGI and practical effects mixed in to ground the CGI and give it a real world feel. Marvel has had this problem for phase 5(although some of it does seem to be down to the constant script changes and crunch), but even aside from the crunch, it feels like EVERYTHING is CGI'd.
I haven't seen Twisters yet so I cannot comment on the CGI, but I immediately felt from seeing the trailers that the Twisters themselves and the CGI looked really flat and underwhelming. Grace also hit it on the head when she said about the original Twister having better VFX than this. The original Twister holds up so well and they did all kinds of effects to ground the movie and make it feel real( I'm thinking about the scene where they drive by Meg's town that was destroyed by the tornado, Meg's house crumbling while her and the dog are inside it, the truck falling out of the sky at the beginning of the movie, the infamous house scene where they drive through, the fuel tanker exploding, the cows flying, etc.)
Ok, maybe the flying cows weren't practical VFX 😉.
The female lead is generic but Powell isn't?...🤔
If you ignore the original Twister's existence, this would be an acceptable film. But if you've watched the original before, this is just not good.
You have some valid points here that I didn't even consider. At the same time, this was about a perfect as an American summer blockbuster as you can get. I enjoyed it, despite everything.
THE MOVIE WAS A LOT OF FUN!
I watched the movie and was very disappointed. The only reason they call it Twisters was to get fans of the original to watch a “sequel” of a movie they love. Expect it’s not a sequel. No original characters come back, only one reference to the original which makes no sense. WHERE IS HELEN HUNT?!?! They should’ve called it something else
Other than the lead woman character, I did not like the characters in this story but I did like the plot and the emphasis on helping people and spoilers her experiment working at the end.
