5 movies in, I know what to expect but still a little disappointed
2 September 2022
It's kinda difficult to write a review about the fifth movie in a franchise called Sharknado. The formula is almost exactly the same as the first movie, (and the second, and the third, and the fourth movie too). There is some progression to the "story" but it's just a same formula of more over the top than the last. What keeps me watching? I wanna see how it all ends. And the puns. And Dolph. And Nova, (she looks so fine with dark hair).

Fin does a good job acting. Nova is actually a pretty good actress as well. I wish she wouldve taken over as Fin's wife. Then theres Tara Reid. Aside from the fact she looks like she's pushing 60, she can't act. Her "screaming" is just a lower volume monotone "ahhh" and she does it over and over here. And it seems like every sharknado sequel that comes out she gets these absurd transformations and enhancements. It's almost like the writers don't want her in the films anymore, so they wrote up something ludacris in hopes she wouldn't come back. But then Tara was like, "yeah sure looks good for a paycheck."

Then there's all the celebrity cameos, some are ok but most are just eye rolling and tired. We got popular newscasters reporting on the sharknado yet again. Same old same old. Over and over.

I made it this far through, so I want to see how it all ends in the final movie, (hint- it looks like it goes into Back to the Future territory). But know what you're getting into. I'm too far in. Send help.
