The director of the 1996 film Twister has some harsh words for the upcoming sequel.
He expressed his disappointment, saying that the new movie lacks the originality and spirit of the first one. According to him, it feels like a cash grab rather than a genuine attempt to tell a compelling story. He also mentioned that the special effects, while advanced, can’t make up for what he sees as a weak plot and uninspired characters.
People often forget that sequels can sometimes tarnish the legacy of the original.
Interestingly, he pointed out that the charm of Twister was not just in its groundbreaking visuals but in its heart and character dynamics. The director believes that without these elements, the sequel is doomed to fail.
