There are many moves which IMO do not age well with time. I watch movies I loved when younger, like "Ghostbusters" and "Backdraft" and "Top Gun", and just find them kinda fucking stupid now. "Twister" goes into that category. Loved it when I first saw it. Now I realize it's just filled with stupid hokey unbelievable dialogue and more unbelievable effects.
Hollywood has definitely jumped the shark with remakes. At this point they're remaking remakes that were remakes of remakes. If they're going to keep this shit up, at least pick better starting points. [Reply]
At some point, someone has to make it STOP! If I recall, the trailer had several scenes that weren't even in the movie. And the final scene where they are in a barn full of pointy tools was just dumb. [Reply]

Or BUG (1975 or 76) that was a wild ride
As for a Twister remake, the problem out of the gate is there have been countless natural/global disaster movies since then, each trying excessively to top the special effects of its predecessor.
So the director, writers and digi efx artists of the remake face the challenge of re-creating the original's awe of the tornados and devastation as well as the overall tension and adrenaline rush of chasing them. [Reply]
