Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015 TV Movie)
4/10
Sharknado 3 pretty much jumps the shark
13 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Here we go yet again, sharknado fighter Fin Shepard is in Washington, D.C. to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president, another sharknado strikes, devastating the nation's capital. Fin and the president work together to defeat the sharks, and the storm unexpectedly subsides. This time is mainly set at Universal Orlando, what I wasn't expecting was Twister...Ride It Out making a cameo which was a nice touch, sadly it was closed not too long after Sharknado 3 aired.

The film has a bumpy pace mostly due to trying to squeeze in celebrity cameos. The story this time is about preventing various storms on the east coast from merging together and creating a "Sharkicane". Some of the characters are introduced just to be killed off as fast as they're introduced with the exception of David Hasselhoff.

The kills and action are OK and humor is still there. The ending takes place in low earth orbit (which was completely insane) which begs the question of what is in store for the next installment that was quickly greenlit. The closing scene is just sequel bait (obviously since they already announced Sharknado 4) getting people to vote on the fate of Tara Reid's character by using a hashtag. It would have been an interesting twist to kill off a main character definitively in this movie.

This movie is a signal that the Sharkando franchise has overstayed its welcome, the first 2 movies are OK, in short this movie has jumped the shark.
