There are some horrendous movies out there. Movies that are so bad you can't watch them.
This isn't one of them. This is merely terrible. Even if you're a Bruce Campbell fan, this doesn't rise to the level of a truly unviewable film, except in the sense that some turds will float to the top of the septic tank. You should see this as a double feature with "Twister," if only to take a break from a well-done (if slightly over-done) action movie. See if you can spot the scenes in "Tornado!" that the writer stole from (or guessed were going to be in) the other movie.
Ernie Hudson doesn't emote nearly as well as he did in his somewhat... restrained performances in the "Ghostbusters" franchise.
You'd think that the writer who gave us "The Aviator" and the screenplays for "The Last Samurai," "Star Trek: Nemesis," (2002) "Gladiator," and "Any Given Sunday" could have done better. But then again, maybe the reason that he supplied the screenplay, but not the story, for almost all of his big-ticket movies. After all, John Logan's original works also include classics like "Bats," and, well, this drek.
