It knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies for it. Although the series is starting to show its age, The 4th Awakens still delivers over-the-top summer nonsense. Read full review

Every single scene, and just about every line, will remind you that this is an unapologetically, gloriously idiotic enterprise. ... For discriminating viewers; shark lovers; sharks; meteorologists: F. For “Sharknado” fans: B Read full review

The fourth one isn't as much silly fun of the first two, but it's a few bites better than last summer's dismal "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" Read full review

Now it’s just a tired minor media property and product placement tool for Comcast, which gets name-checked multiple times. At this point, Sharknado deserves to sleep with the fishes. Read full review

What remains is the dullest and most loathsome kind of movie out there, the kind that uses its overtly sarcastic tone to shield from any criticism. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had to give this a 10 people. I mean c'mon for crimeny's sake! Sharknado is what it is.
In this one Tara Reid is a friggin' Cyborg. Ian Ziering has attained superpowers. David Hasselhof, did you see him try to run to that car? Hilarious! And a Twister Cownado take off, plus Gilbert F'ing Gottfried!!!
This stuff I just mentioned is 1/100 of the awesome badness that is Sharknado 4. Rating something this bad with a low score is actually an oxymoron IMO. Rock on Asylum/SyFy!!!!! Sharknado 5 can only be an improvement on the badness. :o)… Expand

Never seen a movie i liked less but its sharknado and they somehow get money for it that is justice enough. To me it makes the movie deserve a 10 because I know I wouldn't be able to make a trash movie series continue fro this long.

A great movie to play while you have friends over. It doesn't get much more entertaining than this. Sharknado should be embraced for all it's ridiculousness, and is probably the funniest movie I've seen this year. Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens is so horrible that you can't help but love it.

I would not even have considered this being possible at all, but this movie turned out being even worse than the rest of the series COMBINED.

The main complaint is that not only the intentionally badly made entirety of that movie is already a cruelty, but they had to exaggerate likeI would not even have considered this being possible at all, but this movie turned out being even worse than the rest of the series COMBINED.

The main complaint is that not only the intentionally badly made entirety of that movie is already a cruelty, but they had to exaggerate like everything possibly being able to exaggerate to make the horrible content even worse. This movie is not only overloaded with bad properties, there is a literal OVERKILL of EXAGGERATION of everything that is already at worst.
Unlike the first movie, this one is not even closely entertaining for exactly that fact; SHARKNADO 4 quickly shows off as a cathastrophic mess of overstatement that tries to be more than it can be and after only a little while you will get sick of watching this proof for human stupidity, so it may have my compassionate and upset 1 of ten points.
As the first two, maybe even the third film of the series have somewhat become goods of culture, this one here should clearly be abolished and abandoned from watchers memory, as it can not under any aspects still count as work or fall under the cathegory of "Mockbusters", as it's even a shame for that genre. Just. Don't. Watch. You will regret.… Expand

Wow, not sure what they were going for here. But there comes a point when you're watching a movie starring Tara Reid, David Hasselhoff and Gary Busey that you have to wonder how it got made, especially in 2016.

This film is excellent, best film of all, but it's too short, so score is 0, they shouldve made it 10 hour long, for such an excellent film even 6 hours is not enough
