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

| Aug 3, 2024

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

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 26, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 26, 2024

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

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 26, 2024

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

| Jul 24, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2024

For all its concessions to modern times, Twisters doesn't make much progress at all.

| Jul 23, 2024

In Chung’s hands, what is ultimately a completely commercial title acquires an unexpected visual refinement and offers some of the most impressive scenes in the disaster genre ever seen on screen. [Full review in Spanish]

Global warming has certainly changed in the two decades since that conversation, but apparently Hollywood's squeamishness about fully acknowledging that reality has not.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 23, 2024

The sets, lighting design, and computer-generated special effects are superb, enhancing the viewer’s fascination with the subject matter. By comparison, the humans in Twisters are so unimportant and so undeveloped they seem like interlopers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 23, 2024

Lee Isaac Chung directs this serviceable disaster flick, a change of pace and wind direction after the delicate, cerebral approach of his previous film, Minari.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2024

Chung directs action with visual clarity and, just as importantly, a vivid sense of drama.

| Jul 20, 2024

The reason to see Twisters is to feel the same emotions one enjoys on a roller coaster ride. Its visual effects are vivid and spectacular and there is some catharsis in watching ordinary people behave in extraordinary ways when disaster strikes

| Jul 20, 2024

A wonderfully mindless adventure...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 19, 2024

Twisters pales in comparison to its 90s predecessor, but it’s a fun summer blockbuster.

[Powell is] a confident actor who seems to think there’s an Academy Award for Smugness. That’s not a swipe, at least not completely. Carrying himself like a movie star in a world of extras, he boasts the energy and charisma to make the love story work.

| Jul 19, 2024

Sparks should fly, but the desperation to insert a romantic rivalry subplot only gets in the way of the majestic ferocity of Mother Nature. The lovey-dovey stuff stirs up no breeze. Bring on the flying trucks and people!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2024

It’s the same old tornado twaddle, but the destructive power of weather has never been more timely, the star charisma of Glen Powell never more evident and the tenderness director Lee Isaac Chung shows for the land and its people never more appreciated

| Jul 19, 2024

Lee Isaac Chung’s tornado thriller Twisters doesn’t try to reinvent the whirl, which is mostly a good thing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 19, 2024

Twisters doesn’t have a reasonably interesting story to tell. And the characters, while sympathetic enough, seem more like constructs than people. Clearly, there was an idea to do a remake, but no second or third idea as to why or how to do it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 18, 2024
