ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
adonis98-743-186503 With much of America lying in ruins, the rest of the world braces for a global sharknado; Fin and his family must travel around the world to stop them. I will admit the Dolph Lundgren cameo in the end was pretty awesome but Lundgren also deserves better than this abomination of a Series. The rest of the movie copies 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Back to the Future' because why the heck not right? This movies stopped being about the sharks way long before and now it's simply stupid, mindless and not entertaining at all Saga of stupidity. (0/10)
irishm This one managed. I would have just turned it off, but I was visiting friends and they wanted to watch it (apparently this was at least their second time through) and obviously I was trying to be a good guest so I just sat there quietly seething at what was happening on the screen, turning my thoughts towards analyzing exactly what about this stupid movie was making me so mad.It's entirely possible, since I never saw the first four and maybe it would either make more sense or be less annoying if I understood the backstory, that I'm missing a critical key to understanding why this movie was made in the first place, who thought it up, why tornados that fling sharks all over the place should even be permitted to exist, etc. The cutesy names "Fin" and "Gil" did nothing to improve my mood. The various cameo appearances didn't help. The unrelenting, constant barrage of multiple "sharknados" every time there was the slightest lull in the dialogue didn't help. The effects were garbage, the acting was worse, the plot was flimsy and mostly incomprehensible (again, I didn't see the earlier installments, so this might be explainable with more prior knowledge).The thing that just about sent me over the edge was Olivia Newton-John, who was unrecognizable from my long-ago memories of her early album covers. My friends told me it was her, but it was several minutes before I was ready to believe them. I've changed in the past 35 years too, but that was still quite a shock.In short, lots of yelling, lots of lousy effects, very little plot, and every time things slow down a bit it's "whoa, better have another sharknado, our last one was four whole minutes ago". This movie makes Edward D. Wood Jr. look like Orson Welles.
By-TorX-1 And thus it is a work of wonder, a film in which sharks are caught up in a tornado whose origin is not entirely clear (And do we care? A mysterious mystical stone is as good a reason for unleashing the aerial selachimorpha mayhem as any other), but that nevertheless ensures that the franchise just keeps spinning. Add Fabio as the Pope and the majesterial Dolph Lundgren, and you have a film that pushes right on through to the cinematic other side and writes its own rules. There are naysayers who say nay, but I don't care: All hail Fin! All hail Sharknado!
Michael Ledo The silliness of the SyFy/Asylum iconic series of films continue with the sharknados going global. If you have seen one in the series, you will have a pretty good idea what is going on. Tara Reid is bionic. The film spoofs and homages were numerous such as James Bond, Indian Jones, Back to the Future, The Road, and a bunch that I missed. Don't worry if you missed one, another is on the way. Note the "Monty Python" foot during the end of the opening credits.Highlights include: Nichelle Nichols doing lines from Star Trek. Olivia Newton John telling Tara Reid not to get too physical. Bret Michaels providing double decker bus swagger music. Sasha Cohen from 'Blades of Glory" plays a skater. Fabio as Pope, and Charo as the Queen of England. Singer/page 3 model Samatha Fox plays Ms. Moore of the MI6. Geraldo Rivera opens a small safe and nothing is there.Benjy Bronk plays in his fourth Sharknado film as a different person each time. This time he is a reporter named "Howard Beale" from the classic film "Network." Yes the names are all genius too, and I admit I missed a few references and movie lines. I didn't even come close to getting them all. What is unfortunate is that unless someone wakes up from a dream, this appears to be the final film.
