Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO! review by Mike Smith In this 3rd installment of the Syfy original trilogy, Sharknado, a monstrous tornado unleashes ravenous sharks from Washington D.C., all the way down to Orlando Florida. It's up to Fin Shepard and his friends and family to save the day....again. I highly enjoyed the over the top cheesiness of the Sharknado franchise, but this one jumped the shark. The movie is outrageously ridiculous but it's a fun ride. The movie knows what it is and doesn't take it's self serious. One thing I loved about this Sharknado is the list of celebrity cameos. David Hasselhoff, Frankie Muniz, Bo Derek, the awesome Michael Winslow, Ne-Yo, WWE legend Chris Jericho, Bill Engvall, Jerry Springer, and the list goes on! The c.g. is bad, the story is ridiculous, the acting is cheesy but the movie is fun. Yes all 3 movies blend together and the movie is forgettable. If you like B movies then you may enjoy this as much as I did, but this movie isn't for everyone. I really hope that there are no plans for a Sharknado 4 because I think this film really pushed the franchise as far as it can go. Cheers and remember life won't suck as long as there is a good B movie to watch.

Original movie was one of those that are so unrealistic and exaggerated that their stupidity borders with ingenuity. Then in the second movie they went one step further and I thought that even one more step in that direction would result with unwatchable crap. And then I started this one and it seemed that I was right. After about 20 minutes I decided to give it up and even delete 4th one too without even checking it out. And just when I was about to move my lazy ass towards keyboard they went one more step further with unreality and exaggeration and I had to halt for a second. And then they went one more step and then one more... and when I thought that this movie can not be more unreal and hyperbolical they made a jump further and continued with action that was faster and more unreal every minute and I was completely stunned with my jaw on the floor. Along the way, they inserted occasional emotional scenes into action, scenes that ascend mockery with Hollywood pathetics to the level of art. From scene to scene movie speeds up and every scene is more bizarre until mindblowing finale. And when you think that's it you realize there's just a bit more. Sharknado 3 ascend its genre to epic proportions and I barely refrained from giving it 10/10. But, although I can not remember when was the last time some movie took me for a ride and amazed me this much, it would be blasphemy to put it side by side with the biggest masterpieces of cinematography. So 9/10 will do.

When I heard about the first "Sharknado" I thought, "Not really. That's got to be awful." It was...but in a fascinating, hilariously black comedy way. Now, 3 films later...I'm still watching, and still thinking the same thing.The title says it all. Eliminating the previous ones, this has to be the most ridiculous, absurd, improbable, and funny film currently making the rounds. It doesn't mess around with explanations or prefaces but immediately plunges into a rain of sharks being dropped on the White House just as Fin is receiving the "highest civilian award" from the president (as well as a golden chainsaw), and proceeds from there to destroy the entire Eastern Seaboard, ending in Universal City in Orlando, not exactly a nice thing to do to one of its distributors, but...fun, anyway.There...the entire plot in one sentence.Sharks in tornadoes aside, most of what happens is no doubt improbable if not impossible, but who cares? Set aside your disbelief and revel in watching celebrities (playing themselves) get chomped.

Even fans of the "original" 2 movies are finally getting fed up with it. I thought it might finally get better, it actually felt like it only could get better. But the only department you might say this gets better, is in the cameo department. It's still taking itself too seriously, it's still playing the humor the wrong way. Even one scene reminiscing of Monty Pythons Dark Knight ever hits the (comedy) timing it needs too and stays silly/annoying rather than funny.There's also a political agenda here, which while not hammered home is still there. You can make of that whatever you feel like, it will depend on your own political orientation too. Putting controversial figures isn't really new, what you make with them or how you deal with them is - again taking itself too serious and trying to make those people seem cool too hard, which just isn't working. Watch Lavantula instead
