Twisters has bested the original movie on Rotten Tomatoes. The 1996 disaster movie Twister, which starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, was a smash hit, becoming the second highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide behind Roland Emmerich’s competing alien invasion disaster movie Independence Day. The upcoming Twisters is a standalone sequel to the original hit, centering a new trio of performers, namely Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos, though the cast also includes Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, David Corenswet, Kiernan Shipka, and Paul Scheer.
Rotten Tomatoes has now aggregated an official Tomatometer score for Twisters out of reviews from 25 different critics. While the score will fluctuate as more reviews are added throughout the week and beyond, at the time of writing the score is a solidly Fresh 76%. This exceeds the score of the original movie by a decent margin, as the 1996 movie only has a score of 63%, aggregated from 71 different critics’ reviews.
