Chick flick? GF wanted to go see it this past weekend. When telling a buddy of mine he claimed it was a love story/chick flick... We watched it and I didnt get that vibe. I mean there is a little bit of "romance" I guess.. But not much at all.. I thought the movie was ... Decent. The OG was clearly better.

The love triangle between the girl, the "old friend" and the "YouTube guy" was definitely a major element of the story.
Doesn't make it a "chick flick". The science aspect of the story was stupid as hell. It was fun, not terrible, not great. |

It's a good compromise movie.
Enough action for most male viewers, enough of a romance for the ladies to enjoy. Some decent laughs. Just go in knowing it's a movie and not a documentary, and accept that science and physics do not apply. If you like modern country, the soundtrack is solid. |

Was there some silly chic stuff in it, sure. Nothing really more than the first movie had.
I thought it was a decent movie, especially compared to most of the crap coming out of Hollywood these days. |

The original was slightly cheesy but overall pretty awesome. The new one flipped the original good guys and bad guys and also had the all-powerful girl boss. It sucked donkeys but I wouldn't call it a chick flick.

The tornados are the stars but you have a love story going on in the background, sorta like the original.

I am taking my granddaughters (10 and 8) tomorrow evening to see it. I'll try to get to the theater a little on the late side, after all/most of the woke movie previews are over.

The first movie gets more respect in 2024 than it did in 1996 if anyone can recall that far back. Even though it did really well back in 1996 it was treated purely as a popcorn movie and not as any serious piece of cinema. Viewing the new movie through that same lens, I'm going to say it was decent.

We saw it at the local $5 theatre Friday. It was OK, but honestly a remake with some tiny plot adjustments.
It was exactly what I remember the first one being like, just new people. They even had the man/women saving each other by tying down to the plumbing scene. |

I enjoyed it. It was predictable, but fun enough.
Only wokeish thing I noticed was that the Storm Par bad guys weren’t nearly as diverse as the good guy Tornado wranglers. |

Not a chick flick.
A+ Special effects B for acting D- for plot/script. If you did not figure out the ending in the first 30 minutes, you were sleeping. |

I’m sure it’s going to suck. The first twister is the only movie I have ever paid for and then walked out of after about 10 minutes. Such a stupid fucking movie. And I loved Bill Paxton.

I thought it was pretty good, Until I saw it was based on the story of some science. I thought it was really cool they were able to prove their idea worked, obviously the last bit was embleshed.
Nope it was all embellished their work was theoretical and never tested successfully. A tribute to a scientist that failed.. Wife enjoyed the movie alot. |

I recently watched "Supercell" that stars dead Anne Heche and murdering Alec Baldwin and it wasn't too bad. Entertaining, but forgettable enough I had to look up the name again.

Only wokeish thing I noticed was that the Storm Par bad guys weren’t nearly as diverse as the good guy Tornado wranglers. It was predictable because it payed a healthy level of homage to the original with some obvious, and also some very subtle nods to Twister, and the original being my favorite movie, I picked up on most of them I'm sure. All the way down to what Kate was wearing in most scenes. I rather enjoyed it. And it was not a chick flick. |

Your "Buddy" is a closet gay, he is scared of deep desire to be abused by another man
Hence calling it a "chick flick" |

Wife and insaw it when it came out. I didn't know anything about it except I thought it was either a remake or going to be a horrible prequel/part 2 of the original. In the end... it was ok. There were a few nods to the original but imo it was it's own movie. The love story was dumb.

There was only a budding romance between the meteorologist and the "tornado wrangler". Even that was just getting off the ground at the end of the film. The movie was basically about the meteorologist getting over her past tragedy. |

Nope, we saw it in IMAX and then went home and watched the original. I think it is one of the best movies Hollywood put out this year. It felt like Hollywood of the past and they did an excellent job giving respect to the original. It was a fun movie, especially in a big theater.

I lasted maybe 15 minutes into this new POS before I fell asleep. My wife finished it and said it was just "ok"
I have no desire to finish watching it. |
