Rated Twisters 6/10

A big improvement on the original in most ways. The implied romance with nothin resolved was a really odd choice. Daisy Edgar-Jones's southern accent was all over the place but her British accent never slipped through. Heavily indulges in the American schtick of rural elitism: salt-of-the-earth small towns where everyone is just playing baseball or doing rodeos or being genuine all the time, versus New York City the irredeemable godless place. Big plot point is that "city girl" is not really from the city, she's actually good, she's from the country. Somehow climate change is unmentioned. All in all, a watchable entertaining film but it seemed limited because of its imagined audience, some salt-of-the-earth suburban American man who wants to be patted on the head and told he's a good boy and not bothered by climate change.
