Critics Consensus

The schlock factor for Sharknado 2: The Second One is not as entertaining as its predecessor's, though fans of the brand will likely enjoy it.

The perfect marriage of outlandish concept, amateurish acting and middling production values.

The creators of last year's surprise cult hit repeat the magic of their first outing.

Ridiculousness. Super-ridiculousness. Mega-ridiculousness. Meta-ridiculousness. Love. Fireworks.

The smartest part is its cameos. The sequel is packed full of them, and they're clever and witty.

The moment that Tara Reid is shooting sharks out of the sky whilst hanging out of a plane, yeah, that's when the 'so-bad-it's-good' concept jumped the shark.

A movie needn't be great to make you feel great. The latter alone can be enough.

Sharknado 2 got me emotional at some points , more sharks, bigger storms and even crazier scenes. Am recommending this for you to fine better entertainments.

Sharknado 2 is very ambitious; the shark attacks give it a completely different energy. Setting the action in New York makes the destruction even more entertaining and creative. I loved watching it.

this movie is ABSOLUTELY amazing the way that fin rode that shark onto the top of the empire state building was so badass! and then when he perfectly split the shark in half I could feel tears forming at this absolutely beautiful scene. towards the end of the movie he gets vengeance for his "ex-wife" by killing the shark that ate her arm, after he did that he took her hand out of the sharks mouth and dropped the insane line reading "we don't need this anymore" then followed up with "but we will need this" as he took the ring off and tossed the hand aside as he proposed to her again. truly a eyewatering scene. however... there was one downside in this movie, which was the absolutely terrible character of Skye. first off, she could NOT take a hint towards fin not liking her but kept being annoyingly persistent and wouldn't stop trying to make a move. this character should have not replaced my girl nova.

Sadly, this film can't quite live up to the high standard set by the first entry of the saga. While the original film was taking its creative liberties, the sequel is hyper-fixated on a realistic and fully logical approach to storytelling. Therefore, I think real enjoyers of good cinema should stick to Sharknado 1, while people who seek the information should watch a real documentary about this peculiar weather phenomenon.
