Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

TheLittleSongbird The first two 'Sharknado' movies were not great and had a lot wrong with them, but they were guilty pleasure fun as long as not taken seriously. 'Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!' however was a let-down, it lacks the fun and charm of the first two as a result of being too self-aware and trying far too hard, really wanted to not take this seriously and view it as a guilty pleasure but it was just too amateurish and tired.With 'Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens', the amateurish-ness and fatigue are multiplied and highly indicative of that despite starting off in guilty pleasure fashion the novelty has worn off and well thin now. The previous film may have lacked charm, fun and energy, though the fun came in occasionally, but 'Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens' is completely devoid of all three and has so many other things wrong too. Even when one tries to take it for what it's trying to be, which it manages to fail at.Ian Ziering is likable and charismatic in the lead role, he plays it straight but still looks like he's having fun with the role. There is some nice scenery, an energetic and eerie music score and some of the references are fun and inspired, when they aren't being over obvious or dumb.Very little else works. Tara Reid continues to be unspeakably awful, her facial expressions look so expressionless and very forced in the few times she tries, her line delivery is mechanical and she constantly looks ill at ease. The dizzying amount of cameos and the quality of them are nowhere near as entertaining as in the first two outings, not just the too deadpan approach but also that they're poorly written and feel too random and brief. Some also downright irritating, especially Jedward whose "annoying factor" from their joke act 'X Factor' days has not changed a bit. David Hasselhoff didn't seem comfortable and neither did Gary Busey.Even for low-budget, 'Sharknado 4' is very shoddy stuff. The scenery is pretty good but the film is shot in a very rushed-looking and drab way, editing is sloppy as well as choppy and the shark special effects are typical dreadfully artificial Asylum/SyFy fare. Regarding the shark attacks and death scenes (none being good enough to even reach "reasonably fun" level), that the sharks have little personality let alone menace hurts them and even more so the unintentional silliness comes at the expense of thrills and suspense, which are nowhere in sight, and gets tiresome. The film is directed flatly, the energy and enthusiasm in the pacing is missing and there are too many cardboard characters that are difficult to give a toss about. The first two films had some great funny lines, but the script here contains nothing remotely amusing or memorable and instead feels stale and tiresomely cheesy.'Sharknado 4' is even more of a pale retread than the third film, with very little maintaining interest and instead having numerous scenes leading nowhere It's further not helped by trying too hard being dopey fun and in the process taking itself too seriously at times that any life is sucked out, then including new ideas, like the different kinds of "nados", intended to be fresh but are just cheap and ridiculous.Overall, a less than extravagant awakening and feels tired. 3/10 Bethany Cox

aaronheron The Sharknado movies are famous for being so bad that they're actually good. This is no longer the case in the fourth one. While I enjoyed the first three, this one is simply so-bad-it's-just... bad.After I watched this movie, I thought it was alright. A few days later, I was invited to watch it again with someone else. As I thought back, I realized that there was no reason for me to want to watch it again. I assume that if you are going to watch this movie, you have seen the first three. Therefore, you may know what to expect in a movie of this franchise. The other three are poorly acted and cgi'd, but are very over the top and still fun. However, this was not fun or action-packed like the first three. The deaths were either bland or too over the top to be fun anymore. And this is from a franchise that makes its living off of being over the top. This movie also doesn't seem to have the guts that the other movies have, but I can't get too much into that without spoiling.Overall, this is not a fun or pleasantly-ridiculous bad movie. It's just a bad movie.

Michael Ledo The plot is pretty much the same except the sharks appear in sandnados, bouldernados, oilnados, firenados, etc etc. It also gives a nod to Lavalantua, a sister film...like Captain America to Iron Man. We already know the signature ending is something more spectacular than the last one and involves pulling something from the belly of a shark.It is okay to get the aide of plot spoilers (I know I did) in order to know all the cameo characters. I even paused the film to Google lines that sounded familiar...like "Come with me if you want to live." They borrowed from many films: Star Wars, Star Trek, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wizard of Oz, Terminator to name a few. Characters from all kinds of films and TV shows have cameo roles, I really enjoyed Gilbert Godfrey and watching Carrot-Top get eaten by a shark.Tara Reid is back like the 6 million dollar woman on steroids. I think the most telling line was "We're not here to win an Oscar." At one point the lines got so corny, an actor remarked, "I can't believe I just said that." What national treasures that weren't destroyed in the other three films get tagged in this one.There is some Star Wars connections and lines, (Don't get cocky) but it was from the original Star Wars feature and not the new one.One of the best "So bad it's good" films out there.

sofachairlollipop Once again, another great scientific documentary by the ScyFy channel. I had no idea sharks and tornadoes were so dangerous, and I've seen Jaws and The Wizard of Oz like 40 times each. But never have I been shaking in my Crocs so much as when I saw this scientific recounting of a totally true event. The movie follows Finn Shepard, a national hero and door-to-door chainsaw salesman, as he battles the laws of physics and the attention spans of viewers. Joined by a delightful cast of characters, including a guy who gets eaten by a shark, a woman who gets eaten by a shark, a lady with an eye patch, two other guys who get devoured by sharks, two real life troll dolls, his daughter-in-law (at least until she gets squished by a shark less than 24 hours after her wedding), a lady who gets squished by a house (and then probably eaten by sharks), and David Hasselhoff, watch as Finn roams the countryside at alarming speeds, traveling from state to state in a matter of minutes. Watch as he grows more of an emotional attachment to his chainsaw than he does to his 5/10-year-old son who totally lived his whole life thinking his dad effed a shark.Finn faces his greatest challenge yet, when he realizes that the sharknados have grown more powerful by absorbing the four elements: fire, ice, boulders, nuclear, electricity, and cows. Now, armed only with the help of his lightsaber-wielding robot-death-machine wife, he has to save the world from the terror that conveniently only threatens major US cities.The only thing I regret is the fact that I can't give it an 11/10 so instead I gave it an 8.
