Movie Reviews of Twister
Movie Review: Powerful, totally captivating, worth owning
Summary: 5 Stars
Twister ranks up in my top movies of all time. When it first came out, the special effects were considered ground breaking and even jaw dropping. Years later the effects are just as incredible, effective and powerful as ever. Various kinds of twisters were created, and they are so believable. Every time I watch this movie, during the twister scenes my heart pounds and my eyes are glued to the screen. It's just so believable and so darn exciting!
I have to disagree with the person who said the story line takes second place to the special effects. Yes, the special effects are totally remarkable, but this movie would be nothing without the great characters and complicated, moving love story. Throw in some first rate actors with tremendous appeal and you've got a winner. This movie holds your attention throughout and entertains on every level.
Bottom line: I highly recommend this movie as a purchase.
Movie Review: Superb Cast, Superb Effects
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies I could never get tired of from watching it millions of times. The cast was put together perfectly, Helen Hunt as Jo, who puts in a marvelous performance, along with Bill Paxton as Bill, who easily turns in a great performance. The supporting crew is great as well, but the dialogue was written a bit poorly. Although the entire crew does their best to sharpen it up, the dialogue and the plot still seems a bit dull. However, the great special effects make up for that completely, like the amazing sound and looks of the tornados. The flying cow is probably the most amusing effect. Overall, as a dvd, the movie is great as well, with special little additions like a music video, and a filmography of both Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. I bought this dvd mainly for Helen Hunt's amazing performance, but the entire dvd is spectacular. Overall, Twister is one dvd no collector should miss in their collection.Movie Review: We've got cows !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great suspense movie. Helen Hunt shines in her performance. Never a dull moment as you get a little taste of what it's like to live in "tornado alley". The visual effects are awesome and the whole film was incredibly well done. Very realistic and dramatic while giving a good mix with comedy and suspense. A five star cast, wonderful acting. Top notch in my opinion and hollywood has not turned out many movies any better than "Twister". Definately an addition to my list of all time favorites. You probably won't ever want to live in Oklahoma after seeing this film. I recommend this one to anyone looking for a good entertaining film. You get disaster, a love story, a few laughs, a little education on weather forecasting and a lot of entertainment. Definately the best disaster film I've seen.Movie Review: Bad Weather Makes A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I lost my VHS tape edition, and as soon as I saw the DVD edition at Blockbuster, I had to get it. I love this movie. The special effects are really mindblowing. No matter how many times I have watched it, it still keeps me on the edge of my seat. You'll find yourself watching this movie over and over just like I do all the time! It's a great addition to any DVD collection. The interactive menus are really cool. I love the making of Twister feature that shows how they brought the monstrous tornados to life. It's pretty freaky but luckily I don't live in Kansas or anywhere near it. You should really get this DVD, it's so awesome. It's the best weather related movie out there! You won't regret getting this. I reccomend it to anyone, you'll love it! Enjoy!Movie Review: Great Effects! Great Supporting Cast!
Summary: 5 Stars
While the special effects are top-notch for this film, that really is becoming normal with films: the special effects have become the stars. But "Twister" has something that most films don't have: characters that are real characters!While the main characters do a great job in this film, it is the supporting characters, playing grad students, that will enchant you - especially if you have been in grad school yourself. This movie let me experience again that great time in my life where enthusiasm for what I was doing was my whole life and nothing else mattered. That's a great time in anyone's life and "Twister's" supporting characters will allow you to see it again, either in yourself or some of the friends you had.
And the floating cow is neat, too...
