Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I was watching this movie with some friends, as part of a "shark week" movie night. We were making fun of it as it went on, but we ended up loving one of the characters. George. He was the best thing to happen to the movie, and the fact that he was KILLED OFF was just TERRIBLE. HE WAS THE ONLY THING MAKING THE MOVIE WORTH WATCHING. He had brilliant quips, and his stool was an icon. HE RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE A DOG. HE WAS THE ONLY TRUE HERO IN THE MOVIE.

Such a great movie filled with laughter and joy. Grab some popcorn and throw on a blanket you will not be let down!!

Wait, I really rated this a 7? Yes, I did. Is it a great movie? Absolutely not. But it is definitely fun and funny and sometimes that's enough.

Sharknado is so bad it's good. When one thinks of shark movies, this first movies the first that comes to mind of course is Jaws (1975). One of the biggest critiques of a shark as an antagonist is that the defense is easy: stay out of the water. Sharknado takes that defense away, as natural weather phenomena toss sharks all around Santa Monaco, California making no one safe in the water, on land, and, yes, not even in the air! Everything about this movie is corny. The concept is corny. The acting is awful. There is a forced story line of a divorced father's relationship with his older children. The dialogue is terrible. IMDb lists "comedy" as one of the genres of the movie, but honestly I don't think it was intended to be funny; but some of the events that unfold are so absurd you have to laugh. This is pure science fiction, with very little fact. If you are going to watch this and try to point out how the actions wouldn't happen that way, don't bother. Just about every law of physics, chemistry and biology are shattered with this movie, from sharks surviving inside a tornado to the Macgyver-like weaponry they assemble to combat the sharks and the tornadoes. The special effects are better than The Wizard of Oz (1939), but quite laughable as well. But like the train-wreck you just can't look away from, this movie keeps you watching and entertained.
