The first Sharknado aired on July 11 of last year and became a sensation for the SyFy Channel. I do admit that it was a film that helped me get introduced to the channel but Sharkando was really no different from what other films typically are on the Syfy Channel. It has a low budget, actors who careers are long gone or who are no-name actors and as Sharknado is, Syfy films are always filled with the most ridiculous plots.
Even if you didn't like Sharknado, Sharknado 2 was going to happen no matter what. It is a money- maker idea used to help promote the SyFy channel even more and yeah, the movie sadly had its fans. After a dangerous flight to New York that shows signs of another shark attack, Fin (Ian Ziering) must lead his family members through a shark attack in the Big Apple in this new sequel.
You must admit that the Sharknado films are original and there are no films like it. This sequel though can compare to sequels like Hangover 2 or Home Alone 2. They are all sequels with a different setting but they really do nothing new. Here, it's just that attacking-shark plot though it has less sharks this time around. The characters all have no substance. The budget is of course low and the effects are typical SyFy effects which to put it mildly isn't saying much. With the action scenes, let's just say I've seen enough of them, sorry.
Maybe the only thing that I got out of this movie was the atmosphere. As a fan of major league baseball who enjoys traveling to a handful of MLB Stadiums through the year, it is clever for this film to use actual shots inside and out of Citi Field. It has cameos every so often which is a little different considering this a SyFy film and shows ultimately what an impact the first film was that actors would want to do cameos for the sequel. It has a cheap little theme song which sounds kind of like that corny band Bowling for Soup with a similar vibe. These are nice little things to the film but not enough and nowhere close for this film to get by.
With a third sequel already set to come out next year, this series is far from over and I expect it to be no different from what we have already have seen. For a film trying to run off what they thought was previous success and old formulas, Sharknado 2 is a bore from beginning to end and actually the type of "boring" that requires an energy drink to keep awake. Yep, that type of bad.
