Twister description Twister was a mega-million-dollar blockbuster--helmed by a director (Dutchman Jan de Bont) hot off another scorcher hit (Speed)--that flaunted state-of-the-art digital effects and featured a popular leading actress (Helen Hunt) who would win an Academy Award for her next film (As Good As It Gets). But ask anybody who's seen it and they'll tell you who the real star of Twister is: the cow. Not to give anything away, but the cow is one of those inspired little touches (like, say, Bronson Pinchot's career-making cameo in Beverly Hills Cop) that adds a touch of personality to a gigantic Hollywood production. The story is blown out the window after an impressive prologue in which Hunt's character, as a little girl, witnesses her daddy being sucked into a tornado. Basically, Hunt and Bill Paxton are thrill-seeking meteorologists chasing twisters in order to study them (and help warn people of them, of course) with a new technology they've developed. If you thought the Kansas tornado in The Wizard of Oz was every bit as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West, then this may be the movie for you. --Jim Emerson |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Junk, junk, junk, junk, junk, junk.... |
| This is a terrible, terrible movie. Stupid characters, junk plot, moronic dialogue, I really couldn't wait for it to end. I got dragged to see it, and I just remember, is this the best film that they can make? I remember Philip Seymour Hoffman was in this, and I wanted to belt his character with a shovel (or equally heavy instrument). All of the stormchasers are kinda idiotic, and if these people were real, they would probably be killed. The performances simply consist of Bill Paxton and crew getting debris thrown at them for 2 hours. People scream a lot in the film, too. It's just wretched. Watch the weather channel if you dig tornadoes. | |
