Sharknado 5: Global Swarming

This movie continues further into be so horrible, ridiculous, and stupid that is entertaining, enjoyable, creative, and glorious. Not the best, but great. Sharknado was originally a cheesy shark movie with a tornado, but this franchise has gone berserk. All hell breaks lose in this movie, but I love how this ends and cant wait for Sharknado 6, this movie honestly seems like a set up for sharknado the final chapter or something. This movie was hilarious and great with all it's bad movie elements, but it is obvious they acknowledge that and go for it. I still like the story somewhat and the characters even though it is mostly ridiculous.

Sharknado 5 is by far the wackiest, craziest and most over the top movie in the franchise. But here is the problem, that isn't a good thing.

The action sequences are still dumb and look awful, the wall to wall "Jokes" simply aren't funny and the movie has absolutely no redeeming features.

Movie references, various celebrity cameos and Tara Reid grunting like a pig in heat in every other scene.

I do hope, I do pray (And I don't even believe in that nonsense) that this is the end but considering the cliffhanger ending I fear we'll see more shortly.

The Good:

Chris Kattan as the British Primeminister is still better than Theresa May

The Bad:

Sam Fox, really!?

Tara Reid

Still a Sharknado film!

Let me start off this review by stating that I legitimately enjoyed Sharknado 1-4. I found them to be quite entertaining with their fast-paced style, but Sharknado 5 makes the mistake of being too over-the-top without being as original as the previous films, making it a chore to sit through. Sharknado 5 starts off with an Indiana Jones parody and slowly unravels as the Sharknado is able to warp around, causing damage all over the globe as Fin and April chase after it. There are a few memorable moments but a lot of it is pretty forgettable, and the sheer ridiculousness of the whole film is it's downfall since the whole thing just feels like a bunch of dumb random moments sewn together. By the end of the film I was exhausted and just couldn't care as Fin and the Sharknado popped up in different places, unlike previous entries in the series where I was generally having fun watching the silly chaos unfold on screen until the credits rolled. I can't really recommend this film unless you are dead-set on going through the entire series, in which case you're probably going to see this anyway. But to anyone else I would recommend just watching one of the first 4 films instead.

Sharknado's have ruined America but now they are threatening to take out Europe, starting in London where coincidentally Fin and April are currently visiting.

More of the same at the last film(s) but a lot more silly, more bad acting, more bad dialogue, more of a stupid story, more tongue in cheek humour, more ridiculous cameo appearances, more more more of exactly the same to the point that it's getting a bit dull for me. The scariest thing about this film was the plastic surgery on show, it was like a Freak show of warnings about what plastic surgery can do to a person - some of the crap CGI sharks looked more attractive than the cast. The best in this series was the first film, since then it's gone downhill to the point that I'd suggest this is the weakest in the series - despite being the most up to date and sparkly. I can only give this film a 5 out of 10 because it's all been done before and brings nothing new to the table.

None offensive, borderline entertainment, requires no brain, pretty pictures.

I love the ridiculousness of these films. They are clearly for a specific fan base. The only problem I have with all the movies is BORING and LIFELESS Tara Reid. She has minimal lines for a reason I guess. Still she brings no energy to the film and I think they would be better off without her.
