“One of the greatest legacies left behind by the late film critic Roger Ebert was that a work of art needs to be approached critically on its own terms. A movie like Sharknado, say, should be judged on how well it fulfills the standards of a movie with the title Sharknado.
“So we must ask different questions of this movie. We must ask: Does it entertain? Does it make us squirm while laughing? Does it, above all, give us sharks in a tornado? Yes, yes, and hell yes. Sharknado is maybe the closest thing created to 80-odd minutes straight of footballs in the groin.
“Really, it’s a deceptively tough feat that the makers of Sharknado pulled off: making a movie that’s shlockily and campily hilarious without seeming to try too hard to do so. From the opening moments the movie signals its determination to efficiently get you the balls-outcrazy mayhem you want and not let narrative, budget constraints, or the laws of science get in the way.” - Time
