Who knew you could make a story about wind interesting. I wonder, if after the filming was done, Paxton was overheard saying, "Storm over, man. Storm over." Twister has a good cast, great eye candy, very nice FX AND if you can't laugh at flying livestock, I don't want to know you.This is a good flick and a must see for all us Helen Hunt fans. I can watch this every 5 - 7 years.

I felt bad watching Eddie's death at the hand of negligent Jonas, and that scene could be due for a reboot now that CGI has moved on since the movie's release in 1996. I wonder what Jonas's last words were when his vehicle (with the lifeless of Eddie) was tossed into the ground. When I watch this scene, it reminds me of the deaths of others in real life Twisters. This movie should be dedicated to everyone who goes out and chases storms.

This special effects bonanza is merely an excusing for showcasing some jaw-dropping, state of the art special effects in a series of ever increasing set pieces. Forget any semblance of a real film, or plot, but just sit back and watch hundreds of buildings get destroyed on screen. There are many things to criticise in this film, the lack of plot being one of them. In between the storm sequences, the story is non existent, with the viewer just waiting till the next destructive moment. What we do get is some awful comedy filler which is so nauseating and abysmal that it's difficult not to press the fast-forward button.The acting is all sub-standard, with Helen Hunt being the biggest offender; I haven't seen this level of awfulness for a long, long time, and I do watch some bad films. The only actor of note is Bill Paxton, someone who I've watched just go from strength to strength as his career progresses, and all the best to him. Although he is adequate as the square-jawed hero, the rest of the cast are just playing plain bad, stereotypical characters, and the women seem to think they're in a melodrama or something. Television level, it really is. And silly, and childish.Steven Spielberg is probably to blame, acting as executive producer. Although this guy is talented, he's also painful sometimes too. Jan De Bont shows us that he's incapable of directing a film apart from the special effects sequences, will somebody give this guy a clue? The storm sequences are the best things in this film, and basically they just keep getting bigger and better. This film should have been in 3D, with the things that keep flying at the camera. Item after item is hurled into the sky and then comes crashing down, be it cars, cows (yes, the cow scene is hilarious), tyres, planks of wood, trucks, petrol tankers. The most jaw-dropping moment is when a house rolls across the road in front of our heroes. These moments are totally implausible of course, with Paxton and Hunt miraculously surviving the devastation every time, but I loved them anyway. Watch TWISTER for the effects, but don't expect anything else to go with them.

This about idiots who chase twisters for no reason. Just so the movie can go somewhere and they can have something happen. This is a badly written movie. I do not know why people like this, I do not why it got a 6.3 The story line is awful. The characters are so stupid. I do not see what the big deal is. A bunch of h.o.s.e.r.s chasing twister around . I meean what a stupid idea. A monster movie were the monster is twister that is just lame. People do not know when an original idea is just lame. This is boring movie. Good actors wasted there talent being in this awful movie. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money do not see this awful movie.
