Fans of Twister rejoice! Twisters is now in theaters, taking up the mantle of the original film. As much a remake as a sequel, this one is now a Glen Powell vehicle of sorts, and all the better for it. With the movie doing some boffo box office and riding high on good reviews, including from yours truly, it seems high time to get all of your takes on it. So, the Awards Radar Community Question this weekend is, simply…if you saw Twisters, what did you think of it?
In my review of the film here earlier this week, I had the following to say:
I don’t have the reverence for Twister that many seem to. Now, I have no ill regard or anything like that. In fact, I actually just never think about the film. So, for those of you that do, more power to you all. It just means that Twisters isn’t an event for me, just the next in 2024’s summer movie season. That being said, it’s a very entertaining blockbuster, even if it’s not a particularly original one. It knows the beats to follow and follows them well.
Twisters is, in broad strokes, what we saw once upon a time with Twister. There’s a bit higher stakes, better effects, and one major movie star, but what you got in the 90s you’re getting again here. The film doesn’t shy away from that, either, but rather embraces it. This is big, silly, cinema, in the way summer audiences like it, too.
Now, we want to know what you thought. What are your thoughts on Twisters? Did you love it? Was it a letdown? If you fell somewhere in between, that’s cool and worth discussing, too. Whatever you’re take, it’s time to chime in…
