the audience applauded

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

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

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is better then the first Sharknado movie. The first Sharknado movie is good. This is better. This has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. It not has good has Jaws. But this is still a good movie.

Sharknado 2 ups the ante from the first Sharknado with more sharks, more nadoes and more name actors. A marked improvement on the first(both structurally and in cheese factor), Sharknado 2 is consistently campy over the top craziness, with gore, corny dialogue, impossible circumstances, and, of course, SHARKS! Sharknado 2 features many celebrity cameos that are suitably worked into the story, or failing that not disruptive to the film. My favorite was the big name reporters playing themselves reporting about the sharknado.Fin and April are visiting New York on a book tour(and also to see Fin's sister and her family) when the shark hit the Fin… umm, I mean the S#@T hits the fan. Or as Fin puts it, "even the sharknadoes are tougher in New York." Once again the Shepards must band together to survive another sharknado.Sharknado 2 is more of what you liked from the first Sharknado. Or more of what you didn't like if you absolutely hated the first one(in which case why are you reading this or watching it?) A movie that knows it's audience, and delivers a superior package of what they liked in the first one. Sharknado 2 is the highlight so far of the Sharknado films(standing at three so far, with an unneeded fourth on the way.) These will never be high art, however absurdist humor never is. As such this movie is terrific absurdist humor… about sharks… falling from the sky.

Rotten apple from the Asylum, celebrated by syfy due to its intentional badness. I think many feel as I that if those who make a wretched film are in on the joke, the charm is lost. Many of the "appealing" bad films aren't intentional. They're accidental. Many of those who set out to make a film (many a regional low-budget filmmaker in the 60s and 70s), devoted and passionate because they most of the time care about what is being brought to life by them, aren't trying to dump a load of crap on anyone who sees what is produced. In fact, they often don't even realize how dreadful their work is. Those who made the first Sharknado (a dangerous tornado that sucked up sharks from oceans) understood all too well what was being produced for those willing to waste their lives on it. The second has way too much New York City iconography that doesn't seem stolen. I mean literally so much New York Mets, and the elaborate excess of this city's recognizable hotspots, this isn't the kind of bad film that we would see in the 80s by low budget guys trying to get something on 42nd Street. Anyway, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid (and Vivica A Fox and Kari Wuhrer) all must survive in New York City as sharks spin out of tornadoes and fall from the sky towards people (and them). Chainsaws are used frequently as are any number of weapons available (like baseball bats or a spinning saw blade attached to Reid's severed arm) throughout the city. Judd Hirsch, of Taxi fame is in this thing, as is the frontman for Sugar Ray, Mark McGrath...the former is a taxi driver (ugh) and McGrath a square husband of Wuhrer (he wears a sweater, for heaven's sake). Low budget horror/cult actress, Tiffany Shepis is a friend of Wuhrer's, getting her face ripped apart. There's a scene where the head of the Statue of Liberty is rolling down a street towards people (Wuhrer and her daughter, also), squashing a few folks! Explosives inside a tornado, Ziering literally riding a shark like a bull, Ziering flying into the mouth of a shark as his chainsaw tears it apart which allows him to escape from its inside, Reid losing a hand to a hungry shark, a former baseball player getting to hit the homerun he wasn't allowed in the Met's baseball stadium by knocking a shark into the stands, and city citizens picking up chainsaws to massacre sharks right in the streets make up many of the absurd scenes you find in this laugher. The special effects are horrible as expected. Undoubtedly these movies have their fans...there wouldn't be a third or even forthcoming fourth film unless somebody liked them. Seeing Al Roker and Matt Lauer, not to mention Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa, involved in the sharknado developments does further emphasize how there is just too much understanding of what kind of stupid fiasco this all is: this isn't a wink as much as a shout from the hilltops. Tongue isn't in cheek, it is wagging. With Downtown Julie Brown as a nurse, Billy Ray Cyrus as a surgeon, Robert Hayes as a pilot (what else?), and Andy Dick as a cop (ha) are among the faces that might be recognizable in a way to roll your eyes.

Decided to skip through the slower scenes of the movie and watch just the scenes with sharks in. Flying fire sharks has been something i've dream-ed of seeing since I was young; this film completed my life. Sharks surviving out of water may not be natural, but it makes for an epic movie!! And when you can't see the film getting any better, the perfect love at the end!! Flying chainsaws; blowing stuff up, the best action movie ever. It also shows how stupid human race, after the weather will be raining sharks, everyone in NY goes outside.My mates and I enjoyed the original and this was a film.we wanted to see but lacked the time to watch all of it so we had to skip the slower parts of the movie, but we shall go back and re-watch it. If you want to see a thrilling out of this world film, this is it!
