This is the movie that my wife and our neighbor became obsessed with this summer. They each saw it with their spouse as soon as possible and then they keep schedule girl nights to go see it together. Now they're scheduling a date to take our girls to go see it in 4DX. And the 4DX showings are sold out weeks in advance. It really is a movie tapping into something interesting.
Yeah a bunch of our friends are coming panning to go to the 4DX re release as well! It's just good fun. I hope other films like this keep coming out and keep adding to the 4DX experience. For the average viewer, especially, this felt like the movie of the summer.
I was shocked because Twister was my absolute fave movie and was sure this was going to be horrible. This is awesome. Literally as good as the first one
I had so much fun with this movie! I was in love with the original movie back in the 90's as a kid and I felt Twisters had that same spirit without bombarding the audience with nostalgia like most reboots/revivals do these days. It was able to stand on its own without bringing back old cast members or making obnoxious callbacks - they kept it subtle. The movie was sincere and not cynical, which most movies are lacking these days. Sometimes it just nice to have a flick like this that just feels like a fun thrill ride. Honorable mention for the climax scene when screen gets ripped out of a movie theater revealing the tornado in the distance. Really nice touch!
haha yeah I did love that too. Yeah, it wasn't super egregious with its callbacks. I mean it truthfully could've just been its own film since it was for the most part. My favorite part about it.
I actually quite liked that they didn't kiss at the end. I don't think it was needed. You could tell they were romantically interested in each other anyway so why have the kiss? It would just be there "because". So I'm happy they didn't do it. Excellent movie though!
Me too. They're both beautiful but we don't always need the characters to kiss. It opens future installments up for the potential for either character to either pursue a relationship later with each other or with somebody else. We need more male-female platonic friendships.
This was my exact thought coming out of both screening I've seen. The "happily ever after" ending kiss is, in my opinion, a ridiculously overused cliché that doesn't need to happen most of the time. This is one of those times when you don't need it - the movie works just as well (if not better) without it. This is a classic "show not tell" moment. You're showing the audience that the two characters have a romantic interest in each other without explicitly telling them to their faces. Audiences don't need to be handheld through everything and have everything pointed out to them, they're capable of picking up on the (very obvious) context clues that the writers laid out.
I totally agree. Seems like the typical ending thing to do and the look they gave each other when the storm warning comes out was better to me than a kiss would have been.
The only thing I didn’t like was, if Glen Powell character is a RUclipsr, he’d be so demonetized and have so many strikes with all the licensed music that plays in his “streams” 😂
Based on the beginning of the movie I was worried all the phone stuff would be cringy. But they managed to capture how people really use phones. Someone under 60 must have been involved.
Been saying for days - be curious about each other. The film proves that if we can over each thee, we might be able to solve the world’s problems. Thanks for pointing this out.
This new one lived up to the original 😊 I absolutely enjoyed watching it. The only thing, I wish Kate was Bill and Jo’s daughter. Other than that they did great with this movie 😃
I thought it was funny there was a love triangle plot with out any of them saying they had feelings for each other. Except when Javi says “There was a time I would do anything for you Kate” which felt like a break up scene. Haha
The moment my partner & I got home, we ordered "Not My First Tornado" shirts. Tbh I enjoyed more than the first (which I saw just 2 weeks before Twisters--yet have rode The Experience at Universal); while the first was non-stop excitement & the scrappy team was more enjoyable (PSH always there for it), this felt more character-driven yet exciting still. The character arc for both characters was endearing & the whole thing felt like it justified existing as a film. It was the definition of "Summer Fun With Heart".
Haha yeah man I got myself a ‘Not My First Tornadeo’ Shirt as well🤣Both films are really good and I would’ve loved to have ridden The Twister Experience Ride at Universal! PSH was really great in Twister, you can really get excited and surprised at just how good and talented and funny he was and how he really is in a few movies, from that time specifically! Twister, Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love where he holds his own against The Great Adam Sandler! And this movie did have some great action and tense stakes but what I love most, like you said, were the characters and the stories told through them and of and between them! You can really feel them grow and change into better people and can understand their hangups due to trauma and they do a good job either showing or making you FEEL their pain/trauma! And along with characters, this film truly has a lot of HEART and like you said this was a Summer Movie With Heart-Deadpool And The Wolverine, same damn thing!!! We’ve gotten a lot of those recently this Summer, Alien looks like a good callback to the original Horror/Sci-Fi of Alien/Aliens and Josh Hartnett having a bit of a renaissance with Shyamalan looks great, and Long Legs which was a smaller film, had great marketing and Nic Cage is always great! Smile 2 looks great as well with its marketing!
i knocked on this movie when the trailer came out to see a red truck again and thought this would be a spitting image of the original and boy was I wrong. I truly enjoyed this movie
Me too! I was sick of seeing the trailer, and scoffed that it looked dumb. I only went to see it because everyone started RAVING about it, and honestly, they were right! It was _so fun_ and so wholesome!
Twisters had the same feel as a disaster film, but it went its own direction. I enjoyed it both times from being in a theater at an early screening to a drive-in theater, which made the experience a whole lot better, in my opinion. The tornadoes went into a territory where it was higher stakes and the nods/references from the original felt nostalgic when growing up with the 1996 original. It was a fun blockbuster this year. If you feel it, chase it! 🌪🐄
I thought this movie was just going to be another lazy reboot, but I ended up thinking it was surprisingly good. Even if it did draw heavily from the original it was well done. I was glad that they didn't have a cheesy kiss at the end, but "romance ever after" type endings have always seemed a bit off-putting and forced to me, so it's probably just a case of 'your mileage may vary'🤷♀
I agree Twisters is a good movie. I still like the Twister 1996. The thing is. The story is about people. The real tornado problem. The cast was great. This movie helped me figure out a problem. 🌪️🌧️
Yeah Roland Emmerick can learn a lot from this guy. There's actual character development! That's probably why this movie worked. And no, I'm glad they didn't milk the romantic plot between Kate and Tyler.
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. As a 24-year-old woman, 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!_ The CHEMISTRY in this movie was delicious, and it was almost solely because it showcased 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!_ I was *SQUEALING* it was so wholesome and cute! 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 ATE IT UP. I typically only find that kind of tension-filled, flirtatious dynamic in movies from the 20th century.
Ehhhhhhhhh I can’t take that leap. It’s so much closer to being as good as Twister than I wanted to believe at first, but better? Nah. The first Twister had a few things going for it that Twisters doesn’t manage to recapture: 1. The cast. T2’s cast is good, but Glenn Powell absolutely steals the show. Twister was chock full of scene stealing characters that came by it naturally, whereas the scene-stealing side character moments in T2 feel pretty forced. Twister’s cast had a chance to bond and become genuine friends, because they all stayed in a motel during the filming and hung out around a bonfire at night playing games and having fun. T2 doesn’t have that same chemistry between its characters. 2. The cinematography. Twister’s cinematography is kinetic and exciting. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with T2’s, it is a beautifully shot film indeed, but it is shot much differently than Twister and loses a TON of the blood pumping excitement. Take the yellow Jeep racing through the ditch as the tornado wipes out a barn in the background and compare it to any scene in Twisters - it’s not that T2 doesn’t have intense moments, but the shot composition is so much more interesting in Twister. The cameras mounted to the vehicles also capture a ton of really exciting vehicle action shots, while most vehicle shots in T2 are drones and green screen. That said, I LOVED the shot at the end of T2 where the camera was mounted to the trailer being pulled behind the truck. That’s good stuff. 3. The score. Twister’s original score amplifies the action on the screen immensely. The musical stings whenever a tornado is looming, the wise choice to cut the music and let the winds and destruction take focus, and of course the mashup of licensed tracks with the score that occur more than once… so, so good. I was 11 when Twister came out and made my dad take me to buy a CD of both the original score and the licensed soundtrack for my birthday because the music stayed in my head for days after seeing it for the first time. I legit can’t remember what T2’s original score even sounds like. Honestly, I could barely hear it during the movie in the first place. All of this being said, T2 also has a few one-ups on Twister. 1. The science is more accurate. They worked with professional meteorologists and storm chasers to ensure they were getting things right. A few missteps still, but overall the movie gets a passing grade from most storm chasers. 2. Visuals, but that’s unfair. Even so, that scene where Javi’s truck is reversing away as the tornado wipes out a barn… I’m not sure that wasn’t a real tornado. That looked INCREDIBLE. 3. The rivalry is better conceived, and not as contrived as in Twister (Jonas’ existence serves only to motivate Bill to stick around and ensure Dorothy flies. He has no other effect on the story whatsoever). I know nostalgia is a factor, but I still genuinely believe that Twister is a more fun and engaging movie overall. Twisters gets bogged down a little here and there and DESPERATELY needs a more blood pumping soundtrack, but it turned out to be an excellent sequel. Twisters is the Tremors 2 to Twister’s Tremors… if that makes sense. A totally worthy follow up that repeats the fun of the original, but also changes the formula enough to make it feel like it’s own thing.
Each to tier own. Me and my wife watched the first one then the second at the theater. I like both for different reason and might prefer the first by a hair. Both are great summer blockbuster movies.
Do you think you will do an analysis of longlegs. Have yet to see it but plan watch it next week then it gets in theaters their I live either way have seen it has gotten great praise and would like to hear your opinions of it if you have the time and want to do a video of it.
You have never been in or around a tornado, or faced a natural disaster. The only way to prevent Tornados destruction is to disrupt air currents over the Midwest. As for the government. Here is a story. In 2019 record rainfall fell on Oklahoma. For three weeks the Army core of engineers did not reduce water in there dams safely, which forced them to do an emergency dump of the water. (this is not climate change this is a storm set that comes every ten years or so) The water then flooded everything from Fort Gibson to Tulsa. As far as I know no one died. but damage was huge. The government gave everyone 20k for there mistake and many had to sell there homes (at discounted prices) though they still got more than the government would give. There is currently a lawsuit. So tell me again how the government is going to help people, because at least a corporation goes belly up when it makes mistakes like that.
I'm really surprised by this video, IMO Twisters was the worst movie I have been to in theaters, first time in my 25 years of life I considered leaving a movie but my fiancé wanted to stay lol. Huge fan of the OG movie to so was very disappointed
I disagree that this movie portrays capitalism as bad. This movie shows why capitalism is the greatest economic system in all the world. Allow me to explain. The greasy, mustache twirling, "Mr Potter" of this movie only does research for his own selfish reasons. Yet even in spinning his evil plan, capitalism forces him to finance a useful piece of scientific equipment that will benefit mankind. He cant just keep it locked up. He is a capitalist he has to make money from it. He can only monetize it if he makes it available to the public. You see through his desire to make money he is forced into doing the right thing. Many great inventions only exist because people wanted to make money. When not overly unencumbered by the government greedy capitalists invented railroads, electricity, the automobile, medicines, airplanes, the internet, microwave ovens, and countless other things that you enjoy today. Don't be so hard on the slimy venture capitalist he is the lubricant in the economic machine.
It’s a sad fact, but without immoral white men exploiting people, we wouldn’t have much. I respect Javi’s choice because you need money for science. He’s infiltrating from the inside. I think this is how progress is really made. Greed has always funded the science. But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call out and openly mock the greed. We can’t just be complacent to what it is without striving for better. Accepting capitalist greed ties all of us to a life of slavery with more steps. You can’t fault a person for wanting everyone to know. I don’t agree that greed motivates people. Passion and excitement do. But who has time for passion after giving 1/3 of your life away so you can live in a safe home?
The movie was fun, but let me tell you something really important. Do you want to know why your government spends a countless dollars, devotes numerous resources to defense and military, when it could be allocating some of that to environmental protection? Because no matter how dire climate change and natural disasters are, most of them you can still hide or run away from. And you know what you definitely won't hide and run away from? From a bullet, drone or missile fired in your direction! You'd better never know the sound of a machine gun shooting down a combat drone right above your house! Or as an anti-aircraft defense, trying to shoot down aeroballistic missiles, which eventually hit a house a hundred meters away from you, completely destroying it and killing dozens of people! These millions of dollars that your government spends abroad on war, not on conflict, but on war, save millions of lives here in Ukraine! And this is not some "unimportant political thing", it is literally a matter of life and death!
I’m so sorry you are experiencing those horrors. And I’m glad American funds are providing you enough safety that you can be using RUclips. But I’d like to share why we Americans hate defense spending. I suggest you google Ferguson Missouri to understand my point. Military defense replaces perfectly functioning tanks, guns, other shit we don’t understand. They spend money on things we don’t need. And then hand it over to that idiot that sat next to you in math that kept trying to copy your answers. Racist cops have uncontrolled access to WAR grade weapons. And they use them on some kids asking other people to stop killing them. We love how safe we are. We don’t love most of our money going to defense, when 6% of our nation lives in 3rd world conditions. Whole cities don’t have access to clean drinking water. If the money were just keeping us safe, we wouldn’t care as much. But with each new tank they get, we became more endangered. Someone tonight, in my city, will go to sleep hearing gunshots. Hearing the cries of people who don’t have enough and are losing loved ones to a different kind of war. Those conditions you are experiencing exist here too. Your country has it worse, I don’t doubt. But your fear doesn’t negate the fear of the family in the projects or trailer park who had Raman noodles for dinner and can’t afford new shoes for their kids. We are safe from war, maybe. But our government doesn’t keep us safe in daily life. I hope you stay safe. I wish you and your loved ones nothing but peace and healing.
This was so stereotypical and cringy. Screenplay was great, but everything else was so forced and cliche. Tired of the same thing every time, it’s getting old and it’s just funny to me at this point that people eat this up. No offense. The writing was really lacking, and again, so many forced emotions that felt overused as well.
I'm sorry but no. I could not stand the characters outside of Glenn Powell. They're all so hollow and flat. They have no screen presence. Now in the first Twister, we had a handful of really good characters and actors. You had Bill Paxton, you had Helen Hunt... who had the motivation of any characters in this franchise. You had Phillip Seymour Hoffman for crying out loud. We had cows. Twister was a great summer blockbuster
I have to say i disagree completely. I thought they would be annoying from the trailer with the guy screaming "we got TWINSS, TWINSS!" But i think the movie does well in fleshing out humanity in all the main cast
I didn't expect it to be better than the original, but at least I expected it to be bigger. It isn't. No wonder it has been a failure outside the United States.

Loved it!!!!!
Saw this at a local drive in theater as a double feature with Deadpool and Wolverine; the most fun I had all summer
That's awesome. Yeah that just screams summer haha
This was one of the best just good old movies I've seen in a long time. A truly perfect getaway for a couple hours.

1. The science is more accurate. They worked with professional meteorologists and storm chasers to ensure they were getting things right. A few missteps still, but overall the movie gets a passing grade from most storm chasers.
2. Visuals, but that’s unfair. Even so, that scene where Javi’s truck is reversing away as the tornado wipes out a barn… I’m not sure that wasn’t a real tornado. That looked INCREDIBLE.
3. The rivalry is better conceived, and not as contrived as in Twister (Jonas’ existence serves only to motivate Bill to stick around and ensure Dorothy flies. He has no other effect on the story whatsoever).
I know nostalgia is a factor, but I still genuinely believe that Twister is a more fun and engaging movie overall. Twisters gets bogged down a little here and there and DESPERATELY needs a more blood pumping soundtrack, but it turned out to be an excellent sequel.
Twisters is the Tremors 2 to Twister’s Tremors… if that makes sense. A totally worthy follow up that repeats the fun of the original, but also changes the formula enough to make it feel like it’s own thing.
Each to tier own. Me and my wife watched the first one then the second at the theater. I like both for different reason and might prefer the first by a hair. Both are great summer blockbuster movies.
7/10
At the very least Twisters will break even.
The person who plays Lily, has done a wonderful job of playing the role of a crackhead.
The only bad part was the last scene
Do you think you will do an analysis of longlegs. Have yet to see it but plan watch it next week then it gets in theaters their I live either way have seen it has gotten great praise and would like to hear your opinions of it if you have the time and want to do a video of it.
If there's enough interest when it hits VOD sure! Same with Trap.
You have never been in or around a tornado, or faced a natural disaster. The only way to prevent Tornados destruction is to disrupt air currents over the Midwest.
As for the government. Here is a story.
In 2019 record rainfall fell on Oklahoma. For three weeks the Army core of engineers did not reduce water in there dams safely, which forced them to do an emergency dump of the water. (this is not climate change this is a storm set that comes every ten years or so) The water then flooded everything from Fort Gibson to Tulsa. As far as I know no one died. but damage was huge.
The government gave everyone 20k for there mistake and many had to sell there homes (at discounted prices) though they still got more than the government would give. There is currently a lawsuit.
So tell me again how the government is going to help people, because at least a corporation goes belly up when it makes mistakes like that.
Great video! Do more videos about non-cape $#¡t
I'd love to...sadly there's just less interest.
I'm really surprised by this video, IMO Twisters was the worst movie I have been to in theaters, first time in my 25 years of life I considered leaving a movie but my fiancé wanted to stay lol. Huge fan of the OG movie to so was very disappointed
I disagree that this movie portrays capitalism as bad. This movie shows why capitalism is the greatest economic system in all the world. Allow me to explain. The greasy, mustache twirling, "Mr Potter" of this movie only does research for his own selfish reasons. Yet even in spinning his evil plan, capitalism forces him to finance a useful piece of scientific equipment that will benefit mankind. He cant just keep it locked up. He is a capitalist he has to make money from it. He can only monetize it if he makes it available to the public. You see through his desire to make money he is forced into doing the right thing. Many great inventions only exist because people wanted to make money. When not overly unencumbered by the government greedy capitalists invented railroads, electricity, the automobile, medicines, airplanes, the internet, microwave ovens, and countless other things that you enjoy today. Don't be so hard on the slimy venture capitalist he is the lubricant in the economic machine.
It’s a sad fact, but without immoral white men exploiting people, we wouldn’t have much.
I respect Javi’s choice because you need money for science. He’s infiltrating from the inside. I think this is how progress is really made. Greed has always funded the science.
But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call out and openly mock the greed. We can’t just be complacent to what it is without striving for better. Accepting capitalist greed ties all of us to a life of slavery with more steps. You can’t fault a person for wanting everyone to know.
I don’t agree that greed motivates people. Passion and excitement do. But who has time for passion after giving 1/3 of your life away so you can live in a safe home?
Great film
Amen to that!
I'm soo happy they didn't kiss. That's not what we wanted. Only you wanted thar. Happy it played out the way it did.
Are you still planning to do your Wolverine video?
@@axelpettersson1482 yessir! End of the month 😎
❤❤❤
we left the theatre in the interval . it was awful
Fun and forgettable in my humble opinion.
The movie was fun, but let me tell you something really important. Do you want to know why your government spends a countless dollars, devotes numerous resources to defense and military, when it could be allocating some of that to environmental protection? Because no matter how dire climate change and natural disasters are, most of them you can still hide or run away from. And you know what you definitely won't hide and run away from? From a bullet, drone or missile fired in your direction! You'd better never know the sound of a machine gun shooting down a combat drone right above your house! Or as an anti-aircraft defense, trying to shoot down aeroballistic missiles, which eventually hit a house a hundred meters away from you, completely destroying it and killing dozens of people! These millions of dollars that your government spends abroad on war, not on conflict, but on war, save millions of lives here in Ukraine! And this is not some "unimportant political thing", it is literally a matter of life and death!
I’m so sorry you are experiencing those horrors. And I’m glad American funds are providing you enough safety that you can be using RUclips.
But I’d like to share why we Americans hate defense spending. I suggest you google Ferguson Missouri to understand my point.
Military defense replaces perfectly functioning tanks, guns, other shit we don’t understand. They spend money on things we don’t need. And then hand it over to that idiot that sat next to you in math that kept trying to copy your answers. Racist cops have uncontrolled access to WAR grade weapons. And they use them on some kids asking other people to stop killing them.
We love how safe we are. We don’t love most of our money going to defense, when 6% of our nation lives in 3rd world conditions. Whole cities don’t have access to clean drinking water. If the money were just keeping us safe, we wouldn’t care as much. But with each new tank they get, we became more endangered.
Someone tonight, in my city, will go to sleep hearing gunshots. Hearing the cries of people who don’t have enough and are losing loved ones to a different kind of war. Those conditions you are experiencing exist here too. Your country has it worse, I don’t doubt. But your fear doesn’t negate the fear of the family in the projects or trailer park who had Raman noodles for dinner and can’t afford new shoes for their kids.
We are safe from war, maybe. But our government doesn’t keep us safe in daily life.
I hope you stay safe. I wish you and your loved ones nothing but peace and healing.
This was so stereotypical and cringy. Screenplay was great, but everything else was so forced and cliche. Tired of the same thing every time, it’s getting old and it’s just funny to me at this point that people eat this up. No offense. The writing was really lacking, and again, so many forced emotions that felt overused as well.
…with terrible tornado action.
I'm sorry but no. I could not stand the characters outside of Glenn Powell. They're all so hollow and flat. They have no screen presence.
Now in the first Twister, we had a handful of really good characters and actors. You had Bill Paxton, you had Helen Hunt... who had the motivation of any characters in this franchise. You had Phillip Seymour Hoffman for crying out loud. We had cows. Twister was a great summer blockbuster
I have to say i disagree completely. I thought they would be annoying from the trailer with the guy screaming "we got TWINSS, TWINSS!"
But i think the movie does well in fleshing out humanity in all the main cast
@@BrendenPragasam ok
well said, luke. i wanted to leave halfway through but folks were sitting on both sides so i suffered in silence. what an eye roller.
Movie was shit 😭stop the cap
This movie was ok. It was exactly like the original and to me that didn't help it
I didn't expect it to be better than the original, but at least I expected it to be bigger. It isn't. No wonder it has been a failure outside the United States.
Super pretentious but I genuinely think I’m better than anyone who loved Twisters 2024
