    #sharknado3 is bigger dumber, convoluted and just as greatly (awful) as the first two. This movie is filled with nonstop gusting busting laughs that will leave you entertained until the very end. We officially have one of the greatest trilogies ever crafted. Oh hell no? More like oh hell yes!

    Oh yes! ... I mean "Oh no!" ... I mean "Oh hell no!" They're still back after a few flops here and there. Pretty much that's Syfy logic for you, but why are we getting a fourth one? Don't they already know their franchise is failing?

    Oh Hell No is good but flawed. The special effects are the worse in the series but I do like a lot of good things that this movie has to offer but the first and second are better.

    There is a fine line between parody and disaster, and this film tends more toward the latter.

    To be frank, the films are made intentionally bad to fill a 'so bad it's good' niche. If you have any shred of intelligence you probably won't find your kicks here. Watch some real B movies instead.

    Bad films can be funny. Films created with the intention of being bad never can be, because they are fake, phony, nothing. Only the failed intention to produce something worthwhile can be tragically humorous. Creations like the Sharknado movies are just an insult for the audience.

    Stop the insanity. Three strikes and Sharknado is out of being fresh, silly, stupid fun. Now it is just painfully unwatchable. Not like networks ever know when it's time to kill one of their concepts, though.

There's nothing going on here that makes any logical sense. Characters approach situation sin the most nonsensical ways possible. Needless to say we don't watch these movies for intelligence. We watch them to see just what kind of crazy crap the writers can up with, and they deliver the ridiculousness in spades.

    Cheesy one-liners, goofy cameos, and plenty of self-awareness are once again present in even more over the top ways. It makes for a very amusing watch. Unfortunately too much dialog and drama are present. The movie is at it's best when it ignores it's plot and just focuses on gory action and self-indulgent jokes. It does have a story to tell, but things just get a little boring when it does actually focus on telling it.

    The third Sharknado movie once again proves to be another example of "so bad, it's good" entertainment at it's finest. Just like the previous two movies, this isn't going to appeal to everyone. It's stupid, cheesy, b-rated filmmaking that wants to be nothing more than just that. It's no secret that not everyone is a fan of that. But those that are have a treat in store for them with Sharknado 3. If you are coming for the absurdity odds are you'll find this to be the best Sharknado yet. Those looking for more refined and serious entertainment should look elsewhere. This is strictly for the hardcore fans of cheesy, b-rated entertainment.    … Expand

    With any luck, this will be the last of the series, though it wouldn't surprise me if SyFy tries again.

    SyFy didn't really know that the first Sharknado would be a hit, the emergent social media attention quite surprised them. With this third movie in the series, SyFy tried (and failed) to capitalize upon the social media chatter, indeed, it was more distracting than entertaining.

    The first Sharknado was far from a masterpiece so why would you make a sequel? and even worse,why would you make a third movie of this?It's just a bigger Sharknado who's only purpose is making money and parodying the previous two.

    Big disappointment. Really, the best thing about it is trying to guess how many republican politician cameos you can squeeze into the first 15 minutes of a film. Plus the plastic sharks have to compete with how much plastic has been injected into the stars faces.

    There is a time where a Sharknado might actually be interesting. This is not one of those times. Who puts a lightsaber chainsaw in a movie. This movie has zero plot and is all shark. Whenever they want to kill someone they will. Hands down the worst movie I have ever seen.

    Funny bad movies are a hit on the SyFy network, they air them occasionally for audiences to laugh at the fact on how poorly bad the film is. "Sharknado 3" is a movie so poorly acted, drawn out, the 3D sharks look horrible, but you can sit there laughing at it all!

    This made for T.V movie is the third installment to the Sharknado saga. Of course, there are sharks.....in water spouts. These laughably bad animated sharks are on the rampage again to terrorize Orlando, but is taken place around Universal Orlando Studios. The film strongly promotes the Universal Park in Orlando quite often; everyone runs for their lives as they see the sharks eating up everyone in the park. The killings are just flat-out hilarious, the sharks kill people like eating their arms and legs one by one, swimming across the screen and eating their heads, or surprise them.

    All the characters look like they do not know what they are doing most of the time; most of everyone are just waiting for their death to happen at any moment. There are many ways that some of the characters could have saved some of the others, like when a woman closes a door on her boyfriend, she could have left it wide open, but instead lets her boyfriend die by a shark. Stupidly funny.There are also a handful of cameos in the movie, with appearances by David Hasselhoff, Jerry Springer, Penn and Teller, and so much more. As for the main characters, they are all just about as dumber than a moldy cheese wheel. The main characters to whatever they could to save the citizens of Orlando by using a chainsaw to cut up the sharks, shooting them, and even going into space!

    As for the story, the film starts out from the last movie and continuing. Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) are expecting their first child together. Fin gets invited by the president by giving him an award for his heroic acts by dispelling the sharknado. But what happens next? Another sharknado occurs of course! It is all up to Fin and April to save the day once again from the sharks, they also friends to help them out this time. But it will not be so easy this time around.

    Syfy has done it once again by making yet another movie so bad that it is fun to watch. Sure the story is predictable, but it is so fun to laugh at. The screenplay is so poorly written it makes the actors look like they are in film school practicing for their theater teacher. You can hate this movie, you can laugh at it, but make sure you are prepared for "Sharknado 4".    … Expand

    Bottom line: Not as fun as the second but it was still a fun event.

    It jumps straight into the action. The hero is named Fin Shepard (Ziering) - Get it? Fin like a shark’s fin! He is in Washington DC stopping another sharknado. By this point, his ability to stop the weather anomalies has made him a celebrity. But it soon becomes clear that what was a freak weather accident is happening more often. What is he going to do?

    Made for TV movies on the SyFy Channel are infamously cheesy. You have movies about giant sharks, giant squids, giant sharks fighting giants squids. In fact, looking at IMDB, it seems like there are some thematic groupings.

    You have the animal hybrids movies: Sharktopus (Shark/Octopus), its sequel Piranhaconda, and maybe Dinoshark. Then you have sharks and sharks in different locations: Sand Sharks, Snow Shark: Ancient Snow Beast, Swamp Shark. And then you have the much larger section of “versus” movies: Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark, Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus. Sharknado, it seems, hasn’t spawned any spin-offs but I wonder when that will happen. Might we expect a Crococane?

    In any case, the movies offer cheap thrills. The first Sharknado movie was kinda fun because it was a way for the SyFy channel to say, ‘Hey, we know these movies are cheesy, and we’re going to have some fun with this one.’ The second, Sharknado 2, was a continuation in the most logical way – two sharknadoes. Where else are you supposed to go? Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! went for a bunch more sharknadoes and more celebrity cameos.

    My wife and I saw the movies at the local arena. One of the local radio stations sponsored the event. There were $2 hot dogs, cheap beer, and raffles. The experience was fun and that’s really the only way to watch it; it should be playing in the background as you laugh with friends. I wouldn’t recommend this to watch independently.    … Expand

    I have never understood the market for purposefully bad movies; "so bad its good" often only stems from earnest incompetence rather than camp schlock. In other words, this movies is trying too hard to achieve that cult status of bad, and like anything that tries too hard, it becomes irritating very quickly.

    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.
