Season 1 Review: Sharknado 2 is a rousing upgrade from middling shlock to high-quality schlock. [25 Jul/1 Aug 2014, p.108] Read full review

Season 1 Review: Technically, Sharknado 2 is pretty much just as sloppy as the first film, with scenes that supposedly take place during a storm filled with streams of natural sunlight, but the amateurish quality is part of the franchise’s charm. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it isn’t as much of a surprise as the first Sharknado, this one manages to up the ante and take advantage of its pop culture standing. Read full review

Cleveland Plain DealerMark DawidziakJul 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: The dialogue is intentinonally bad. The CGI work is intentionally cheap. The plot is intentionally ludicrous. The shock tactics are intentionally schlocky. And all this bad adds up to one monstrously good time, particularly if experienced with a rowdy and ready group of friends. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sharknado 2: The Second One is that kind of movie, veering more into "spoof" territory than the first one, which isn't to say that "Sharknado" was meant as high drama, but it wasn't calling attention to its absurdity in quite the same way as the sequel. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Like a lot of junk food, Sharknado might taste good while you’re eating it--but even with Cheetos you have to know when to take your hand out of the bowl. Read full review
