Sharknado Ratings & Reviews
- Das_LamaJune 17, 2025The totally believable plot, the great acting, tornadoes, flying sharks, and it the fact it was was made by Asylum boggles the mind that this masterpiece did not receive an Oscar or fish net full of Oscars.
- M08YJuly 17, 2025I full appreciate that this film is quite literally meant to be awful. BUT Sharknado hurt my brain. Not because of the premise. Not because of the special effects. Because of the other visuals. Let me explain. This was basically all filmed on a normal sunny day. One moment, flooding and sharks everywhere, the next, it's a normal sunny and dry day with a tornado tearing through the city. A bus that is being surrounded by sharks, everyone is wet, there are constant cuts to sharks underwater hitting the bus however he bus is on a dry road. My particular favourite is the random cuts to a shark swimming in the deep ocean with what I can only assume are two baby sharks with it. Footage seemingly pulled straight out of a documentry. You do get credit for trying. Once again, I know it's meant to be terrible, but there are basic things you can do to cover up the fact that you don't have the budget to literally flood an entire city.
- RichardDecember 5, 2025Streaming this was pure guilty pleasure and oboy did it deliver exactly what it promised. Sharknado doesn’t pretend to be high art, it leans hard into its absurd premise: sharks flying through tornadoes, people with chainsaws and Los Angeles suddenly flooded with B‑movie chaos. Anthony C. Ferrante and The Asylum knew they weren’t making Jaws and that’s the charm. Ian Ziering as Fin, Tara Reid as April and Cassie Scerbo as Nova all play it straight, which makes the ridiculousness even funnier. One moment you’ve got sharks raining from the sky, the next you’re watching stock footage spliced in like it’s a nature documentary. The continuity errors are half the fun, sunny skies in one shot, flooded streets in the next. It’s camp, it’s cheap and it’s glorious. Unlike some “so bad it’s good” films that stumble by accident, Sharknado knows exactly what kind of movie it is. It’s self aware, tongue in cheek and designed to be watched with a grin. The fact that it spawned five sequels says it all: people wanted more flying sharks.
