Twisters

I wasn't blown away by it... It's not particularly well-written.

It’s like you’re chasing tornados from the front seat of a roller coaster.

A couple of reasonable expectations… that are completely absent: three-dimensional characters and a sincere appreciation for the landscapes and the inhabitants of these small towns.

Twisters mainly falters in the payoff, overthinking the right move and creating a series of minor disappointments that add up.

Twisters is big and flashy, but not fun or frightening.

Much like a destructive storm that blows itself out with nary a discernible rhyme or reason, all this sequel left in its wake was a metaphorical mess that left me sadly despondent.

Twisters is an engaging, amusing allegory for how we need to “tame” America’s storms. Its heroes are seeking ways to quell surges of “wrath,” and they are prioritizing care for those in danger’s path.

An adrenaline-pumping disaster film about storm chasers willing to take a lot of risks.

Twisters is a big, loud summer blockbuster, but it won’t blow you away.

Twisters is watchable enough, and even broadly entertaining in its modest way. Sadly it will also remind the older viewer of a much better and much more enjoyable blockbuster.
