Twisters (2024) - MOVIE REVIEW

Hey everyone, Twisters - the "sequel" to one of the quintessential summer blockbusters of all-time, Twister - has hit theaters... a week early here! This is a film that I was heavily anticipating because the first film is a blast, the trailers looked fun and it was being directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who directed Minari. Oh, and I love the cast. I was really hoping this would be a classic throwback summer blockbuster but the question is, does it deliver on that hope? Find out in this review!
