    #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?

    There is a fine line between parody and disaster, and this film tends more toward the latter. "Sharknado" worked, on some level, because they were trying to make an epic disaster movie that came out as amusing because it was so ridiculous. It exploded on Twitter, and the creators got in on the joke.

For me, that means the magic has died.… Expand

    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.

    Y'know, I really try to stay civil during these review things, but what an absolute piece of crap movie.

    Yeah, that's really all I can think to say. End review.

    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.

    This was a couple of hours of my life I'll never get back.....    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    It's a silly, silly, silly, silly movie. But it deserves kudos for its control of tone, which is a bit uncanny at times.

    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+
