Before the sequel etched its way onto my TV screen, I watched the last half of the original 'Sharknado' - just as a review. What a mistake. I think the original was a classic, but absorbing the last thirty minutes - again – was like ingesting bile, ending up with a bitter after-taste sitting in my mouth and lasting for a lifetime. The first time I saw S-nado 1, everything was fun and fresh. The idea was original and the humor was oh so subtle, that the laughs almost seemed unintentional. It was a brilliantly crafted tongue and cheek satire, saluting the classic, 'Jaws'. So - why a sequel? This second movie was horrible. It was like everything was packaged and ready for production - and then a ton of last minute changes were introduced, immediately screwing everything up. I gather since the first edition was such a big success, overwhelming interest for a sequel naturally followed. Among other things, this attention created a massive chum-line for out-of-work superstars to latch their huge egos to. Star power can be a good thing
but it can also be bad. This time it was a massive fail. There appeared to be multiple ad-hoc one-liners chucked in only to appease the egos of the numerous "guest-mega-stars." The stifling chants by these cameo gasbags, transformed simple fun into some kind of ad-nauseam, narcissistic love fest. My fingers could not go down my throat far enough. Please
no more. Let the writers work on something else
no more sharknados
please.
