i thought romulus was pretty standard fair until those last twenty minutes where it really set itself apart.
is there any better drug than a collective theater gasp?
seeing coraline in 3d today and am as excited for that as i have been anything else all year.
-
man that is fucking EXCELLENT for coraline. as impressive to me as any other number this weekend.
almost 60% of what it made opening weekend over the 4day!
deserved for a truly timeless film.

I think Twisters is going to have some really nice late legs with Regal putting it and the original back in 4dx labor day weekend.

i would believe in a harsh drop for twisters because it is bringing in a lottttt of coin on PLFs and is losing most of those to DandW. In Nashville, it sold out EVERY SINGLE 4dx showing at our 2 theaters that have them. I've never seen that before with any release. It lost all of those theaters and all IMAX showings yesterday after 11AM (it was so popular they added a 9am 4dx and that sold out on Thursday).
Curious to see if after next week it gets any of those back, the 4dx in particular has gone viral on socials and is apparently the best film yet to utilize that viewing.

Pretty good movie. Great cast..
But it needed some more tornados and destruction in the final act. It fell flat for me. But really like the first 3/4 of the movie..
7/10
my biggest qualm also is that the final act pales in comparisons to the original.

The fact "Twisters" exploded with a whole new young cast and no returning characters actually shows how Classic the original was. If the original wasn't liked, I doubt many would have cared this much for the sequel. Audiences (Like myself) remember 96 and how big "Twister" was. Only "ID4" was bigger that year. Also the "Soundtrack" for the first film was very successful and memorable.
yep.

An enjoyable summer popcorn feature that succeeds where it counts the most. The original Twister, despite its groundbreaking (for 1996, at least) visual effects and thrilling tornado set pieces, has never been a classic, weighed down by an underdeveloped screenplay and walking stereotype characters played by a rather superb cast delivering "here for the paycheck" quality performances. This should probably earn points for consistency that it comes with virtually the same positives and negatives as its cinematic predecessor, though this certainly has its own issues. The twisters in the original actually felt like a more ominous presence whereas here they seem to appear whenever the script needs them to. Also, this probably could've used a main human villain ala Cary Elwes in the first movie. For a while it seems like David "Superman" Corenswet will fit the bill but then he gets ditched on the side of the road before the big climax and we never see or hear from his character ever again.
All of that said, the tornado scenes are rather exciting, and Lee Isaac Chung proves himself more than capable of working on a much higher scale with massive budgets. At a time when more fantastical genres have become the face of the blockbuster movement, it's unique to see an entry in which Mother Nature is the main antagonist while at the same time acknowledging the cost of the destruction that tends to be left behind from the storms (at least compared to something like the tone-deaf Godzilla x Kong, which asked us to conveniently ignore that millions of people definitely died in the CGI chaos).
The cast probably does about as well as they can with their underwritten roles, which is as true of this movie as it was with the original. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, etc...they're fine actors accomplishing what they were hired to do without stretching their talents in between having wind machines blow in their faces. Though I agree that Maura Tierney's mother character was clearly meant to be Helen Hunt and it was obvious they had to do a last minute rewrite once Hunt presumably turned them down, especially when it was initially announced a few years back that the plot for this would follow Hunt and Bill Paxton's daughter.
It won't win any awards, but it provides a good time that should be seen on the biggest screen with the best surround sound system possible.

this assessment of the first twister is actually WILD lol. who gets to decide what classics are any fucking way? the majority of people from the south and midwest consider the original to be a modern classic in just about every way.

man that is a GREAT hold for long legs

I thought it was great fun. Half of the crowd I was with weren’t as enthusiastic though.
I actually thought Daisy was very likeable, I see that’s not the consensus though. Powell and Corenswet were great eye candy too. I finished my whole popcorn.
Two big cons:
1. needed more deaths to up the ante/threat. Corenswet and a few of Glen’s crew should’ve been killed off (sorry).
2. should’ve given us a 90’s style kiss at the end, and didn’t have to be an airport cliche.
the crazy thing is they FILMED the 90s style kiss you can find it on twitter. i guess they didn’t want to end so on the nose of the og

I'm happy for the film but it is wild to see so much of the success of this being accredited to Powell and not the IP.
Yes hes great in it (Daisy is even better), yes his agent has done him hella wonders and he oozes charisma, but the success of this OW is coming from a beloved property. Not saying the two have to be mutually exclusive but Powell is not carrying this lol.

So Maura Tierney’s character was clearly meant to be Helen Hunt but Helen Hunt turned them down, right? The way she emerges from the shadows in her first scene had me thinking that it was going to be a surprise cameo. Couple that with the way they kept trying to hide the surname of Daisy Edgar Jones’s character for the first half of the film. Felt like they had to rewrite it slightly there.
Kinda glad it wasn’t overloaded with “member Twister?” callbacks though and just did its own thing instead. It had similarities obviously, but it was different enough to not feel like a rehash.
Also, the whole final tornado sequence was great in this. Interesting that they set that bit it in El Reno too considering the monster tornado they had there a few years back.
no hunt approached and was in talks with universal right before the pandemic about a sequel she wanted to produce not star in. so i don’t think the role of the mom was ever hers to play

twister is my favorite movie of all time. so i want to preface my review with that lol because i kind of wanted to hate this. especially after universal turned down hunts idea for a true sequel years ago.
truth be told, it’s a lot of fun, feels uniquely its own and has two leads that fucking radiate chemistry. just like helen hunt and bill paxton i was totally convinced they were who they said they were. the effects (except for one scene in the final climax) look excellent. oddly enough that scene was what they showed at cinemacon and warned post wasn’t done and it still looks off in the final cut.
tries to replicate the importance of the first soundtrack and definitely is not as successful but there are a few standouts. also felt the supporting cast was sooooo much weaker and very stereotyped.
go in to just have a good time and i really think you will. 7/10

It's hard to follow box office like we do, the trades, etc. AND protect yourself from the hype. I thought the marketing for this (the phone number, the web site) was so god-tier that paired with the rave reviews I went in so ready.
I DO think this film has a beautiful, beautiful style but I personally did not find it frightening. Maybe disturbing but even then it felt tame to me. I actually thought the biggest jump scare of the entire film was the opening scene where Longlegs bends down into frame, so seeing that set me up for a lot of scares that I just didn't think ever made there way in to the story.To me this is no where near top 10 scariest/most disturbing films of the last decade-ish (Hereditary by a mile, The first two Conjurings all way, way more frightening) but I thought this was really well crafted film and I LOVED monroe in this. 7/10.

truly believe an elf sequel with a solid screenplay and a RT score above 70% is making 500 million. She and Him Elf Soundtrack for icing on the cake.
