Oh, good lord, where to begin? This was honestly, as the title says, painful to watch. The first problem is the plot's gotten even more ridiculous. There's a Shark God, and a... vortex sharknado? And everybody dies at the end so they can throw in time-travel?? No wonder they're called The Asylum; this is madness! The second problem is the references. Counting B-lister cameos, pop culture bits, and shameless plugs, it tallies up at least 100. I counted. Three or four is cute, but over one-hundred is just selling out. The third problem is they've gotten worse on purpose. Nothing's improved. If anything, it's de-proved! And the fact that they're still getting away with making these as unfunny and stupid as possible makes me angry. At first, this franchise was so bad it's good. I actually kind of enjoyed the first two movies... but now, it's so bad it's awful: a mutant level of bad. It isn't funny, it isn't clever, it's just honest-to-God painful.Don't waste your money on this abomination. I guarantee by the end you'll be writhing on the shattered remains of your TV.

Sharknado 5 is by far the wackiest, craziest and most over the top movie in the franchise. But here is the problem, that isn't a good thing.The action sequences are still dumb and look awful, the wall to wall "Jokes" simply aren't funny and the movie has absolutely no redeeming features.Movie references, various celebrity cameos and Tara Reid grunting like a pig in heat in every other scene.I do hope, I do pray (And I don't even believe in that nonsense) that this is the end but considering the cliffhanger ending I fear we'll see more shortly.The Good: Chris Kattan as the British Primeminister is still better than Theresa May The Bad: Sam Fox, really!? Tara Reid Still a Sharknado film!Things I learnt from this movie: The Offspring don't care what films use their music as long as they get paid If you're a cyborg with rocket boots and can therefore fly it makes more sense to ski down a mountain Monster energy drink is sponsored by absolutely everything and everyoneIt's sharkzilla!

As much as I enjoy campy movies, a genre that the "Sharknado" movies definitely fall under, then I must say that the movie have gradually been slipping down a steep hill with each passing movie. And this 5th installment to the franchise is the worst one of the movie so far."Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" is a movie that spoofs many other movies, but it fails to do so in a particularly good or funny manner, and that results in the movie becoming strained and forced, and it is clear that director Anthony C. Ferrante is trying to make the audience laugh, but fails to do so in a proper way.The characters in the movie, particularly Fin (played by Ian Ziering) and April (played by Tara Reid) are now jokes and parodies on themselves and their characters in the previous movies. Which makes for a somewhat bitter pill to swallow. Especially the April character whom has turned into a cyborg with superhero-like powers.The dialogue is just downright atrocious in "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming". Mind you, it hasn't exactly been Shakespearian dialogue in the previous movies either, but it is exceptionally poor in this fifth installment in the franchise.It feels like even the main cast have given up because the movie has reached an unfathomable level of ridiculousness.What did work out well enough for the movie was the amount of cameo appearances that took place throughout the course of the movie. Lots of familiar faces to spot, so be on the lookout for those."Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" is a weak movie in itself and also as an addition to the franchise. If you have watched the previous four movies, you might find some enjoyment in the fifth movie as well. Personally, I didn't really enjoy this one as much as the previous ones to various degree.The ending of the movie, albeit it was so unfathomably corny and cheesy that it was painful to witness, then it was still a fun twist to the movie. It was incredibly stupid, yes, but I must admit that I found myself to be chuckling at that twist to the storyline as it made so little sense for the storyline.Perhaps it is time to let Fin and his cyborg ex-wife rest and have the Sharknados ebb out and die...

When going into a Sharknado movie, I think the first thing you have to remind yourself is that, it's going to be pretty rubbish. The whole series is just absolutely ridiculous, but that's what makes Sharknado, Sharknado. It's just a bit of out of this world fun, with terrible puns (seriously, Fin and Gil?) and just some really bad acting. And bad acting, especially is something you have to remember that is going to be going on throughout any Sharknado movie.But the actors do really well, I wouldn't be surprised if they were told to act badly instead of taking the job seriously.Sharknado 5 is, in my opinion, the best Sharknado of the series. We actually get to learn more of the science in the series. It was quite a leap from the last one, and it was pretty good. This one did a good job and I think it might have done the series some good.
