Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)

disgusting, overrated, pointless

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is the worst film I have ever try to watch! I don't even want finished it.

Warning: There is what may be considered a "spoiler" in this review. However, while I hate "spoilers", I consider that the "Sharknado" movies are pretty spoiler free, because no matter what to hear or read, you still have to see it to appreciate it.*** I am still healing from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the lack of creativity for the sake of playing safe recycling the bits and elements that the fans enjoyed in previous installments. Then my medicine arrived with a noon of "Sharknado 3".First, all the negative reviewers are obviously missing the "tongue-in-cheek" attitude, a little like that uncle that is not able to take a joke and take anything you say at face value. The movie is obviously a parody, so well done that sometimes you doubt if they are exploding a cliché or making fun of it. This may be the reason why on the previous installment, when the sharks attacked a passenger airplane in "Sharknado 2", the pilot was no other than Robert Hays, from "Airplane!".But back to "Sharknado 3": How many movies have you come across in which sharks attack a ship in outer space, and the hero must use a "light-chainsaw" to rescue his wife who is about to have a baby in the belly of one of the killer fishes? Now, that is creativity and imagination, and I always applaud that: Even if it is in a movie that explains religion using "force" as a metaphor, or in a movie with sharks attacking the White House.

I have a chequered history with the SHARKNADO series. I enjoyed the first film for what it was, a fun and cheesy B-movie along the lines of 3-HEADED SHARK ATTACK or AIRPLANE VS. VOLCANO. The sequel was a step down for me; it had little story and just went for the ludicrous set-pieces, which were dumb.SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO! continues the downward slide with an increasingly ludicrous tale that draws in the President and a whole scenario ripped off from Armageddon; taking the sharks into outer space was definitely a step too far. Instead of being a cult monster flick, this tries way to hard to be some cult so-bad-it's-good comedy, and yet it's not good. It's dumb, cheesy, gory, and has bad effects throughout.After this and PIRANHA 3DD, I think David Hasslehoff has the kiss of death when it comes to B-movie cheese. The only cast member I liked was Cassie Scerbo, who returns from the first to give a thoroughly enthusiastic performance; the rest of the leading players are on autopilot. For most of the time, SHARKNADO 3 contents itself on offering cameo after cameo, with the likes of Frankie Muniz, Bo Derek, am embarrassing George R. R. Martin, and an - OH HELL NO! - Jedward turning up for the cult factor on a regular basis. It's not enough to make this a real film.

This is a franchise that since it being brought up in the drawing room knew what it was going to be. It's like Sharktopus in the sense that it's deliberately trying to be a bad movie in the same vein as The Room or Troll 2 and while they haven't quite succeeded (in the sense that those movies work best when it's an accident) these movies can sometimes be a hoot. This movie isn't as funny, one of them is that this has celebrity cameos galore, while taking advantage of almost none of them. I admit having Jerry Springer eaten thinking it was Jaws at the universal studios theme park was good but Penn and Teller just enter and leave and I don't have a clue what they were trying with George R. R. Martin (and... He's in Sharknado? Of all the things!) there are many more. Oh and like the second one it amps things up to 11 but that is quickly shot down with... I guess, endearing moments, I seriously don't know whether it's satire or not but if it isn't... This is Sharknado, people! If there was anything in high demand from it's fan base it's not endearing moments. No, it's moments like the one where inside a shark in space Finn burns up on re-entry inside it's gut and survives both being inside the digestive system but re-entry. Give me more of that!... Oh and by the way since they're in space, you can say this franchise has in fact quite literally, jumped the shark!
