336. Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)

August 24, 2014

Not part of a 'bad movie night', but a terrible movie nonetheless, 'Sharknado 2 The Second One' was destined to be trash long before it was even an idea. After the success of 'Sharknado', SyFy decided to cash in on the franchise in a big way. Enlisting the help of far too many Hollywood b and c-list celebrities and talk show hosts, and utilizing the worst in what CGI has to offer, 'Sharknado 2 The Second One' did exactly what it set out to do: Capitalize on a dumb idea that people like me are dumb enough to pay to see. It had some funny moments, but it didn't have the heart of the first one, and it was way too self-aware for my tastes. What it did have, however, was a plethora of sharks flying around in tornadoes, wreaking havoc on everything in sight. If that doesn't get you excited, you're probably dead. If you've managed to avoid the first one, steer clear of this one and you'll be OK. Otherwise, if you're like me and you've seen both of them so far, you'll be watching every stupid second of Sharknado 3 when it rolls in.
