I Review Sharknado 2

It was enough to make your head explode.


Sharknado 2

I never saw the first movie, but I fell for the hype on Sharknado 2 for SyFy on demand. I didn't really fall for the hype. My wife got home from work late, the news was nothing to cheer about, and we thought something that could be funny would brighten the day.

We were wrong. It could have been funny, but it was so bad, outside the action in opening aircraft scene where sharks crashed into a passenger jet at 30,000 feet. The sharks didn't seem concerned that they were spinning in -50 temperatures out of water. All they wanted to do was eat people.

I didn't know who most of the characters were in the movie, and I didn't care. Tara Reid looked as if she was on narcotics the entire time. She had this blank look as she mouthed her lines, which made no sense anyway. To show you how ridiculous it was; Tara is blown out of the plane but hangs on with one hand. Forget the plane is going 500 mph. A sky cop hands her a gun, because he can't walk in the wind and must crawl, and she shoots a shark flying at her as it bites off her hand. She still hangs on. The plane lands in New York with wheels up after the pilot and co-pilot are eaten by sharks, and the lead male character lands the plane.

Then, a storm hits New York with a tornado full of sharks, and I really began to lose interest from there. SyFy On Demand has the fast forward function eaten by sharks so you have to watch commercials and you can't fast forward them. The first 19 minutes was commercial free.

"Maybe they won't have commercials," I told Dorothy.

"They will," she said."

And she was right. After the first 19 minutes, the commercials (lasting five minutes) came every five or ten minutes for the rest of the two hour time span movie plus commercials. The only way to not see commercials was to hit the button that moves everything forward for five or ten minutes. Then, you could reverse to the point where the last commercial stopped. 

I got tired of doing that so we missed a lot of the movie. Either that or I fell asleep. I kept asking what happened to this person or that person. Dorothy didn't know, and neither of us cared. The script was horrible. We ended up watching reruns of Two And A Half Men.

This movie comes with a caution:

Warning: This movie is so bad it will make your head explode.
