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.
Platypuschow I've often considered Sharknado to be the worst movie franchise of all time and found myself delaying watching the 4th part and this right here is why.I like Scyfy originals, I think they have a certain charm about them but the Sharknado movies are devoid of that and in it's place will it will stupidity, movie references and cameo appearances of z list celebrities on the downswing of their careers.Once again 90 minutes of moronic scenes, ridiculous "action and humour that will appeal to nobody over the age of 9.So far out of a potential 40pts they've acquired 4 from me and I just don't see the fifth and/or any subsequent sequels doing much better.Just so very very dire.The Good: Kudos that the franchise has lasted this long The "Hoff" is actually on form The Bad: It's a sharknado film Pretty much everythingTara Reid Things I learnt from this movie: If you are a company specialising in preventing sharknados it makes perfect sense to have a giant tank full of sharks outside Male strippers can deflect sharks using nothing but their penis Corey Taylor may be a flawless musician but his movie role choices suck The pirate ship in Las Vegas is a real fully functional ship complete with real swords and working cannons A 100ft by 50ft tank can hold hundreds if not thousands of fully grown sharks The water from said tank is sufficient to flood a city and keep afloat an entire ship Seth Rollins plans on super kicking a storm It's a cownado!
WakenPayne I like the first 2 Sharknado movies. I really don't care how much credibility I lose for saying it but it's a great satire of the so-bad-it's-good kind of movie and the Syfy Channel Original movie, it seems they went for escalation in the second one and... It's my favourite of the series and the third one was just kind of trying too hard. This one however seems to be "Just give us more of that but on autopilot". The plot is that there are stations all around the US to stop Sharknado's from happening but they soon malfunction and the tornadoes soon... Run amok. It's up to Finn and whoever else he happens to be with to save the day. My problems? This is called Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, why is there legitimate drama in this?! There's this entire subplot on Tara Reid being a cyborg, with her father telling everyone she's dead. Oh and the originally funny comedic shark attacks and defenses against them? Yeah well the most that ever gets is a Male Stripper thrusts his crotch at one which hurls the shark in another direction. There are also celebrity cameos that are somehow even worse than in the third movie. Oh and the goddamn references, it's not funny when you can see the references from the very start of the movie - Part of it's set in Kansas and someone wears striped stockings and Ruby Slippers. They also shoe-horn in the line "follow the Yellow-Brick Road!". All in all, just don't - this movie is really boring and considering the celebrity cameos that are in this movie, it's almost devolved into this series being where celebrity careers go to die.
