Critics Consensus

Proudly, shamelessly, and gloriously brainless, Sharknado redefines "so bad it's good" for a new generation.

Breakfast with Maths & M

I'm not giving it a 5 outta 5 cos it's good, hell nah this shits BAD! But it never fails to make me laugh in both a good way and a bad way because on one hand Humans are fighting sharks but on the other The sharks are super powered and have the powers of god and for some reason fly to space 🤷‍♂️ I recomend for a laugh 😂

Los Angeles Times

Oh sure, it's easy to pick holes in a story about a weather system that makes it possible for sharks to fly and take to the streets, but that's the whole point of movies like this: fabulous in-home commentary.

What the film does have is some fantastically cheesy lines combined with some humorous social commentary.

Sharknado is the little Asylum B-movie that could and it's absolutely glorious!

Rated: 4.5/5

Obviously ridiculous and stupid, it still manages to sometimes be a mind-blowing rollickingly good time.

Rated: 2.5/4

Keith & the Movies

“Sharknado” is the epitome of “so bad it’s good”. Maybe not good enough to watch again and again, but plenty good enough to do what it sets out to do – entertain in its own offbeat cockamamie way.

Rated: 3/5
