It's the type of Asylum clusterfuck we've come to expect; the cheap cash-grab without respect for continuity, the audience, or the laws of nature in general. A bit too boring to get away with such an amazing concept. However, I have high hopes for the inevitable sequels Sharkquake, Sharricane versus Hurricanine, Shih Tzunami, Sharkernova and Sharknado 2 : Wrath of The Revenge of The Return of the Sharknado.

Brilliant concept but this stillborn stinker earns Razzies in every technical category... directing and editing in particular. Sequences are packed with random shots that don't link up, while many of the shots you expect are missing (budgetary reasons), leaving a surfeit of facial reaction shots. The plot events are delightfully silly, but honestly they could have done it better using a man in a shark suit. Even lines like 'We're going to need a bigger chopper!' are wasted by this wretched team.

That's not how hurricanes work. That's not how sharks work. That's not how ferris wheels work. That's not how water works. That's not how electricity works. That's not how cars work. That's not how tornadoes work. That's not how gasoline works. That's not how bullets work. That's not how helicopters work. That's not how explosives work. That's not how thermodynamics work. That's not how any of this works.

My dreams became reality. My prayers have been answered. I've been waiting a year for this movie to come out, and DAMN IT'S awesomely shitty. Very happy to say this was produced by legendary David Michael Latt. Bless that man. Has many CGI sharks. If they were real, it would've been the whole shark population in the world times 4. It somehow did have some unexpected twists, which is fucking brilliant. I almost pissed my pants with excitement: it's THAT good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I fell in... But in my defense it was sunday morning, I had a hangover and it was one of the last things on Netflix I hadn't seen... Anyway: If the prospect of watching a Syfy/The Asylum co-production doesn't instantly repel you (which by all rights it fucking should), then at least skip the first hour, and jump in where the heroes are throwing bombs into the tornadoes to make them go away... yeah... this didn't make the hangover any better...

Not as stunningly terrible as I imagined. It does indeed have sharks in tornadoes, but honestly more of the film is shark flash flooding. Tara Reid looks like a broken human being. The CGI on this is somehow worse than films from 15 years ago.

if it weren't so horrifically technically flawed it might have been "so bad it's good" camp. unfortunately there's some REALLY bad moments of direction -- a scene where the heros rush to get everyone away from their cars...and when it's done they get back in theirs and drive away. weather goes from near-apocalyptic gloom to perfectly sunny afternoon. plus there's a lack of fun shark action for most of the movie. oh and tara reid removes 20 points.

Would have liked more human interaction within the tornado, although bombing it to increase the air temperature is one of those retarded-science premises that's fun to tell people about. Just like the title, which is the best advertisement this film has going for it. Unfortunately the constant grey filter, 2 or 3 inspired sequences (internal chainsaw caesarian) & no real writing prowess leaves this lingering between shark-attack-porn & a self-aware farce.

'Sharknado' fails because it is in on the joke, and there's no surer way a B-movie can fail. The filmmakers didn't try to make something good or profound, they wanted to make this exact movie and succeeded. The Asylum Films continues its cynical cash-in production campaign with this inexplicably-popular-for-a-week entry.

It's bad. Obviously. Judging from the title, the idea, the trailer. However, I expected it to be so bad that I'd enjoy it again, which just didn't happen throughout most parts of the movie. Plus points in this case for under-average length.

Is there some sort of conspiracy among low-budget trashy movies whereby ONE million dollars is considered the customary amount to settle a business deal with ? Clearly, they have not taken into account the current inflation rates and woeful economic conditions; I mean, I know a movie in which killer sharks meet their demise at the hands of a discourteous local drunk wielding a barstool is fucking stupid but common!

Seemed like The Asylum were deliberately trying to make a so-bad-it's-good film. Those type of movies usually happen by accident (The Asylum's back catalogue has many) and it takes real skill to deliberately make a good bad movie. The Asylum don't have that skill.

The concept of Sharknado had way more B-movie potential than the actual movie could ever live up to. The parts with sharks in tornadoes falling from the skies were very satisfying, but the fact that most of the movie is people driving in a van disappointed me. Still...this movie has sharks in tornadoes falling from the skies!

It gets a 5 for the idea alone....a hurricane composed of sharks! On that note, why is it called Sharknado when it's clearly a hurricane? Should have been called Sharkacane!!!! Everyone involved should be embarrassed that their name is attached to this turd. Terrible plot, directing, acting, effects, CGI, script, etc... Might even be worse than a Troma film, and that's saying something.

A goofy fun B-Movie. Its better than a lot of similar movies released nowadays, mostly because it generally doesn't let up on the goofy action, while a lot of low budget monster/animal flicks tend to have 5 minutes of action and 75 minutes of stupid, badly acted talking scenes. By keeping the entertainingly stupid action going for the majority of the movie, it comes off as a fun experience. If you like (good) stupid movies, this is a must watch.

It's not as bad as some previous installments in SyPhy's bid to lower the collective intelligence of humankind. In fact, it's kind of fun at times. Unfortunately, it's mostly a movie about people stuck in traffic. But I guess "The Great American Traffic Jam 2: Sharklock!" (Or should that be "Gridshark"?) wasn't as catchy a title.

I'm pretty sure half of this movie was filmed inside a car wash. The rest was filmed around downtown LA, and in order to disguise the fact that LA kept on going on as normal while these guys filmed their movie, the director smears the screen with fake rainwater and computer clouds and CGI sharks. GENIUS. Tara Reid is looking really washed out, but I'm not sure I've ever seen her in anything else. I think she was in a Scrubs episode? Edit: wait, shit, she was in The Big Lebowski. duh

Well considering the movie is supposed to be schlocky, I think it was fun. They don't wink at the camera, they just seriously made a bad movie. So really, it comes down to... was it entertaining? Did it amuse? Yeah sort of. I actually think something called Sharknado could have been fucking awesome, like holy shit this is as memorable as The Room. It didn't reach heights that will make it a classic bad movie, and I know others won't appreciate it, but it was entertaining for an hour and a half.

I'm disappointed. The name alone is almost worth 30 points along with the tagline "Enough Said!". Sadly those points are gone due to the horrendous acting mainly by Tara Reid (who keeps getting worse each movie she does) and the rest of the crew. The writing doesn't help the actors who are decent in this, it just makes them sound stupid when they speak. I burst out laughing at the end when he pulls something out of the shark, it's so impossible that you have to slap your forehead in disgust.

Hilariously bad at some times. This isn't one of those movies that's so bad it gets good again, but it's close. Acting was terrible and I was astonished (or should I say shocked?) by the CGI-effects. If you compare those in this film to many films made in the 80's... The 80's win.

I mean, it's exactly what you expect. A hilarious concept that really only comes to life in fits and starts, with an amazing few sequences towards the end. The acting and writing and editing and everything not related to reveling in the absurd concept is incredibly lazy and knowing, and the cast doesn't even have the respect for the audience to ham it up. It also features one of the biggest missed chances for an amazing sequence I've ever seen in a movie. It's a great Movie Night movie, though.

To be fair to SyFy. There is a Sharknado in the first 5 minutes. They get to the point ASAP. Inevitably, for whatever reason, the dumbass writers think they are scripting "Gone with the Wind" and try to give every character some stupid backstory no one cares about. In other words, watch the first 20 minutes and then do literally anything else.

Haven't you ever wanted to see a Roland Emmerich film without an effects budget? No? Oh, well then Asylum's movie model might have some issues. The underlying concept is surprisingly better than I imagined, but the movie itself is still surprisingly even worse than I imagined. Not even so-bad-it's-good; most films in that category at least wanted to be great, while this only aspires to be another bad movie.

It's a fun film to laugh at, because it's bad. It isn't of the 'so bad it's good' type. It's just plain bad. The plot is nowhere to be found. Setup and payoff are often in the same scene which makes the film the most unbelievable. And that says a lot about a film about shark tornado's. Enough said.

As a fan of terrible, schlocky films, Sharknado is a huge disappointment. It has many of the hallmarks of being something fun and just the right amount of awful but it's just too self-aware to be entertaining. Don't intentionally make something this bad, it sucks on every level and is not even worth making fun of.

With Sharknado, we actually somehow stumbled upon the Plan 9 of our generation. It has some of the cheapest special effects, the corniest acting, and the most absurd ideas you can possibly imagine, and yet, you are somewhat entertained by it. And also like Plan 9, there are even elements within (plot structure, character development, etc.) that actually makes Sharknado a good movie by accident.

To watch this, you have to let a big part of the entertainment come from it's major flaws. Especially how the water level goes up and down is just a joke. The most positive, is that it is very highly paced. You are definitely not bored with it; it is just not very ambitious. Still, with a friend and a couple of beers, there is plenty to laugh at, plenty flaws to be found and plenty of action to get by.

Sharknado is a terrible, awful, no-good, very bad film. It's occasionally fun and interesting, but mostly it's just another atrocity made to get views simply because of a silly premise. "A tornado with sharks? Of course we have to watch and tweet about this." No, you don't. In fact, please stop talking about it. Don't see Sharknado -- there are better films of the same ilk that you'd be better off watching, if you really need a film to watch ironically. Snakes on a Plane still exists.

Another intentionally bad b-movie throwback that's way too authentic for its own good. You could write a book on the awfulness of everything here (the editing, acting, story, script, CGI, etc. etc.) but as it's all meant to be cheap and tacky, you're just massively disappointed at the lack of parody on show. Does manage to draw out the odd chuckle, and is probably better watched pissed with mates, but gets nowhere near realising the potential something like this has.

Insulting. Their central thing here is "we know we are making crap!", but like, that only works if you actually care about your film and its audience. Lloyd Kaufman, for example, made tons of intentionally shitty movies, but he gave a crap and believed in them and their audience. Sharknado is actively courting the dumbshits who view Troll II as a social event. Well, Troll II was a real movie too, Asylum.

This movie is obviously intentionally bad. Huge plot holes, bad CGI, annoying cardboard cutout characters, sunshine in a busy city while three sharknadoes causing havoc and a car that explodes because it starts leaking gas. I feel like the best way this kind of movie works is making a drinking game out of it with friends and being sufficiently intoxicated to find this shit funny.
