I have never witnessed anything like this before, it is annoying on another level, I see that they are cashing in on the fear caused by extreme weather, but it would be more plausible for the tornadoes to drag up pirate ghosts, world war 2 depth charges, or soiled grocery bags from The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I don't even know why they are meant to be scared of the sharks, as the saying goes, 'fish out of water'. Kind of cool though if some spoiled 8 year old child come up with the story and everyone contributed to it (the yes men and the spoilt bit), but no cos the child would get a job with Fox.

In Sharknado 2: The Second One, there's not just one tornado full of sharks, there are three. This time, the sharknados are bearing down on New York. The fear is that the three sharknados will combine into one mega-sharknado. Fortunately for everyone in New York, Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) has just arrived and he has a plan to defeat the sharknados. These Sharknado movies have to be some of the dumbest things ever put on film. Still, they're so ridiculous they can be fun in that "so bad it's good" sort of way. You can't think too hard about the physics, biology, meteorology, or any other science behind the film's concept or your brain might explode. You just gotta go with it. This one probably isn't as good as the first as it loses points for lack of originality. The surprise factor is completely gone. This lack of originality means that, unfortunately, some of the movie can be dull. How many times can Ian Ziering go completely through a shark with a chainsaw and it still feel fresh? Number 2 includes a steady stream of cameos which, regardless of how you feel about it, helps make for a few funny bits. My favorite had to be Robert Hays in the beginning of the film. Pretty neat seeing him again – and flying a plane. A few of the cameos were, however, super annoying. I could have done without the Today Show cameos altogether. Finally, a couple of other bits, while not exactly original, were enjoyable. My personal fav was Tara Reed attaching the circular saw to her stump and slicing a flying shark in half. Pretty cool. Overall, Sharknado 2: The Second One is okay, but nothing great. A very average 5/10 seems fair to me.Finally, I'm sure that older folks like me watched Ziering's character run across the floating sharks and immediately thought of the same scene from the Bond movie Live and Let Die. It was silly back then and is just as silly now.

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.

I knew that this was going to be bad and it was just repeating itself again and again and that the acting was going to be bad too and that cameo's would appear by 'famous' actors from the horror genre and that the effects would be ridiculous from the beginning like a lot of CGI used for an airplane and for the sharks itself and I knew that it would be from the cheapest CGI you will come across and I also knew that the teeth of Tara Reid would be new and attract you from the movie and I also knew that continuity doesn't exist at all in this flick. I also knew that it was impossible at all and that a lot of folks would hate this flick but I also knew that this is Sharknado 2 that that you will love it or hate it....enjoyGore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
