FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/twisters-review-delivering-exactly-what-fans-crave/ "Twisters is exactly what one expects from a disaster flick: a visual spectacle full of action and adrenaline, with a predictable yet effective narrative. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell stand out as protagonists, bringing charisma and chemistry to characters with some emotional depth. Dan Mindel's cinematography and Benjamin Wallfisch's score add to the immersion layer of the summer blockbuster. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre, nor does it need to, as it fulfills its sole, valid purpose of entertaining its target audience while still respecting the victims of natural disasters, reminding us of the importance of humanity and altruism in times of crisis."

<em>'Twisters'</em> is about what I expected, it's one I enjoyed. I'd say the action is an (albeit minor, relatively-speaking) improvement on the original, though I do think the characters and cast aren't quite as strong this time out. Overall, comparing the two, they probably level out to be honest, which is actually a good thing when you're talking about a sequel. Despite the aforementioned about those onscreen, I did still like the performances of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell - the latter is the best performer, in my opinion. With that said, hopefully Powell can get himself out of this typecast of 'overly cocky guy turns out to be sound' as it's getting a bit tiresome, even though I do really rate him as an actor.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that this long-delayed sequel to its 1996 blockbuster predecessor is not nearly as awful or hokey as I thought it would be. As a prototypical summertime popcorn movie, director Lee Isaac Chung’s latest hits every item on the checklist of requirements for what such a release should do, and, in that sense, it’s admittedly rather fun – to a point. With that said, however, there’s only so much belief that one can realistically suspend while watching this often-preposterous tale, one that frequently pushes the limits of silliness and credibility. As expected, the tornadoes are the real stars of this picture (and, arguably, justifiably so), while the film’s clichéd, largely monodimensional characters and often-clunky, highly implausible narrative take a dutiful back seat to what clearly (and deservedly) lies front and center. That’s not to say these other elements are completely overshadowed, but their inherently predictable qualities and general lack of imagination fail to set this film apart as something genuinely different, particularly from its precursor. That dearth of innovation is especially apparent, for example, where good ole boy storm chaser Tyler Owens (Glen Powell) is concerned, whose testosterone-soaked persona makes him look more like a reckless, simple-minded yokel than a character to be legitimately taken seriously as someone who might actually know something about cutting-edge meteorology. At the same time, though, by employing these qualities where Powell’s character is concerned, I’d contend that maybe the film should have played them up more, transforming this offering into more of a campy romp, an approach that might have helped to distinguish the picture more than haplessly trying to make it into something to be taken so seriously. In any event, “Twisters” may not be the disaster that it could have been, but, as disaster movies go, it could have been better with a little less predictability, a lot less cliché and considerably more originality.
