Holds up against the noisy, busy, idiotically-scripted movies of today for all sorts of reasons [but] that does not excuse it from being a noisy, busy, idiotically-scripted movie in its own right.

Extreme-weather buffs, thrill-ride junkies and anyone else in search of mindless entertainment need look no further.

Effects apart, this is dire: predictable, clichéd, sloppily written, pitifully performed and surprisingly short of real shocks and suspense.

It may not be fashionable to like Twister, but darn if it isn't an entertaining electro-shock of action cinema.

An expert in making audiences squirm and twist, at making us feel the rush of experience right along with the actors, De Bont choreographs action and suspense so beautifully he makes it seem like a snap.

Even more than with most of Michael Crichton's concoctions, this one conveys the overwhelming impression of a mechanical entertainment, a very high concept in which the characters and their problems seem like utterly arbitrary creations.

It's a perfect motion picture roller coaster -- fun, fast, and furious... as long as you don't think too hard.

It looks real, and Director Jan De Bont keeps the action coming so fast there's no time to question it.

Surely the only movie to ever suggest a dumbed-down His Girl Friday, Road Runner cartoon, and The Abyss simultaneously

You know a movie is in trouble when a cow provides its only moment of authentic human interest.

The action starts in the opening frame and never lets up.
