TWISTERS is exactly what one expects from a disaster flick - not more, not less. Adrenaline-fueled action, a predictable yet effective story & compelling protagonists elevated by Daisy Edgar-Jones & Glen Powell. It fulfills its sole, valid purpose of entertaining its target… pic.twitter.com/WhrbphNFZW

Lee Isaac Chung's TWISTERS is everything you want in a summer movie. It's also the rare legacy sequel that doesn't shoehorn all the tropes that tend to come with franchise reboots. Glen Powell does plenty of Glen Powell things—but this is Daisy Edgar-Jones' moment. #TwistersMovie pic.twitter.com/uFMukIjR1t

Twister and Gladiator remakes in same year? I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22…

That's probably just the rap music making you feel that way.

Twisters is a very fun time at the movies! Glen Powell is so charming it should be illegal, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe is playing the Philip Seymour Hoffman part, Lee Isaac Chung keeps the spectacle grounded… something for everyone!

Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos deliver everything you want from a summer blockbuster in 'Twisters,' the standalone sequel to the 1996 thriller. https://t.co/TwrMVu7QNX

I truly love TWISTERS. Lee Isaac Chung’s followup to MINARI (never saw that coming tbh) plays better than the original. (Also, set in Oklahoma, I love he has Glen Powell’s character being originally from Arkansas.)

time to talk TWISTERS: I love TWISTERS! I had zero expectations and think the original is fine! I keep telling people it's this year's TOP GUN MAVERICK! everyone is so charming and good-looking and it's all very tense! Absolutely massive summer cinema, in the most positive way.

#Twisters isn't just the year's best, most satisfying summer movie, it's also one of the best movies of the year (period). What makes the movie so special, beyond the performances and visual effects, is the amount of heart, wit and humanity director Lee Isaac Chung delivers. 🌪️ pic.twitter.com/zbXFLYSCNd

"Minari" director Lee Isaac Chung refuses to let his characters get blown away by the $200 million spectacle that's swirling around them.

Pleased to tell you that Twisters absolutely SLAPS!🌪

Funny, moving, and SO entertaining from start to finish. An ensemble cast that goes so hard. Daisy Edgar-Jones you will always be a star. Glen Powell you were born to look hot in a cowboy hat in the rain. I love movies <3 pic.twitter.com/xNit6EgBmJ

Lee Isaac Chung's #Twisters is the rare kind of legacy sequel that genuinely understands why the original worked in the first place, and captures that same sensation again. A satisfying, laid back thrill ride with a charming ensemble cast.

. . . Still, there's a chance that she might defect to the other gang, especially as it's led by a swaggering, absurdly handsome cowboy played by Glen Powell, who seems at first to care about nothing except getting people to subscribe to his YouTube channel and buy his T-shirts, but who could well be revealed to be a brilliant scientist with a sensitive soul. . . .

As a certified Twister (1996) lover, happy to report Twisters rocks.

Good ol’ fashion disaster flick with hot people who know exactly how to make you hoot and holler.

Looks great, oozes energy— we got a certified summer banger on our hands.

Will be quoting the movie often. pic.twitter.com/52hz3XIvWO

I really loved "Twisters." Not only do I think it's better than the original (however high a bar that may or may not be to clear) but it's the most Spielbergian movie not directed by Spielberg I've seen in a long time.

Lee Isaac Chung has a knack for capturing rural America in a beautiful, breathtaking way. The decision to shoot this on film pays off. The effects are epic without ever being overkill. I didn’t expect to love #Twisters as much as I did but it is the epitome of a FUN summer movie. pic.twitter.com/uvERUbW9BX

Twisters is the perfect blockbuster. A movie with a little bit of everything. It’s scary, thrilling, funny, entertaining and even life affirming. Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell are magical together. Don’t underestimate the box office success of this film. It’s going to be… pic.twitter.com/3AAEjObWyQ
