Twister Review
by Brian Koller
"Twister" is a surprisingly entertaining blockbuster, with terrific special effects (e.g. tornadoes), a frantic plot, and a love triangle. It is also unintentionally a comedy, adding another dimension to the sometimes overdone dialogue and action...more

/Twister/ is a great movie to see on the big screen with a digital sound system. The effects are great and the sound is amazing. However, there's barely any plot and the acting is pretty bad. more

Twister Review

I am always happy when a movie like TWISTER comes out because it serves to illustrate just how good movies like TERMINATOR and APOLLO XII (usually dismissed as "just" action movies) really are. TWISTER is just an action film. Oh yes, there is a plot,...more

Capsule: Some exciting action scenes punctuate a plot that is a virtual museum of cliches. Without too much acting and a bunch of all-too- familiar story elements, the plot could have used a few good...more

From the director (Jan De Bont) of last year's best action movie, SPEED, we have TWISTER about teams of risk taking meteorologists chasing tornadoes. Surprisingly, TWISTER is one boring movie peppered with some nifty effects. It was so bad that...more
