Yahoo TVKen TuckerJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: Lively, action-packed, and occasionally quite funny. Read full review

SalonSonia SaraiyaJul 21, 2015
Season 1 Review: Perhaps this third one will exhaust the audience’s desire for sharks sliced in half by chainsaws; perhaps not. (Oh hell, no.) Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJul 20, 2015
Season 1 Review: S3 cranks up the absurdity level to hilarious proportions. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandJul 17, 2015
Season 1 Review: The makers of Sharknado 3, including director Anthony C. Ferrante, were aiming to make a terrible movie and have succeeded brilliantly. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: The first half of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! takes itself too seriously with return appearances by minor characters from the first two films and the destruction of Washington, D.C., landmarks that viewers have seen before with better special effects.... But halfway through--right about the time a character loses his limbs one by one while trying to take heroic action--the mojo that makes these absurd movies a hoot kicks in and Sharknado 3 becomes the insane event viewers anticipate.

TimeJames PoniewozikJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: The slog of guest casting and product placements only underscores that Sharknado has become a big, bloated seafood platter, and everyone and their agent wants a bite. But for all that, Sharknado 3 keeps its own self-aware sense of humor and it can still deliver a gorily surprising action setpiece. Read full review

New York PostRobert RorkeJul 21, 2015
Season 1 Review: It’s more fun to watch the D-list celebs make cameo appearances than actually listen to the movie. Read full review

The WrapHeidi PatalanoJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: Following the firmly established formula, director Anthony C. Ferrante delivers predictably amped-up action and less camp on this third swipe at the chum bucket. But that doesn’t stop it from being a fun, if less hilarious, ride. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: It's a silly, silly, silly, silly movie. But it deserves kudos for its control of tone, which is a bit uncanny at times. Read full review

Cleveland Plain DealerMark DawidziakJul 17, 2015
Season 1 Review: Sharknado 3 has the look and feel of any satirical concept worn a trifle ragged through repetition. But, again, it's not as if that's going to hurt its Emmy chances. There's still enough bite left in the concept. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GayJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: Syfy knows we come to this only for the sharks, cameos, chain saws, acting--the worse, the better--and dialogue so sublimely inept that even the sharks wince when they hear it..... For discerning viewers and shark lovers everywhere: F+. For Sharknado fans: B+ Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkJul 21, 2015
Season 1 Review: Another two hours (minus commercials) of thoroughly mindless entertainment in which lots of celebrities are harmed at the end of their cameo appearances. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDon KaplanJul 17, 2015
Season 1 Review: The B-movie franchise’s third installment leaves a fishy taste behind. Even more than the first two.... While it’s still silly fun, you have to wonder if the whole concept--which was goofy and amusing and new two years ago--is getting, er, long in the tooth. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: If you’ve seen one shark fall from the sky, you’ve seen them all. To its credit, in its last five minutes, Oh Hell No! amps up the craziness to a level that should have dominated the entire film. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: The Sharknado 3 team is clearly just making up the most ridiculous stuff possible at this point. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJul 22, 2015
Season 1 Review: Much of it feels surprisingly cheap and inept--and not ironically cheap and inept, but thrown together, indifferently constructed from a script that could have been written in less time than the movie takes to watch. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJul 20, 2015
Season 1 Review: Resistance is futile, but at this point, watching is less a silly lark than a teeth-gnashing ordeal. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverJul 21, 2015
Season 1 Review: By trying too hard to be dumber than its predecessors, this Sharknado smells strongly of desperation and dead fish. Read full review

The OregonianKristi TurnquistJul 21, 2015
Season 1 Review: Sharknado 3 is so tediously lamebrained, it makes the original, and last summer's "Sharkado 2: The Second One," look like "Jaws." Read full review
