Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Okay Jaws is better then this movie. But really this is not one of the worst movies ever. The Godfather part III is one of the worst movies ever. So is The Godfather part II. And The Godfather. Also The Silences of the lambs. But this a great movie. It has a great story line. It also great acting. It is very scary.
Sharks gone wild? Still trying to process this movie.
I can't understand why the film has such a low rating, sure it's.a shocker, but for originality and sheer audacity it's a six minimum. It's almost like a zombie film was intended but at the very last minute someone burst into the office and said let's use sharks and have tornados. It's not meant to be taken seriously, I don't think the producers looked for awards, instead they delivered ninety minutes of enjoyable nonsense. Some of the effects are ok, some are pretty poor, they do however beat the stock footage shots. Plenty of continuity errors, rain one moment, dry the next etc, but I won't knock it any more, that would be too easy. It's ridiculous, outrageous, but funny and imaginative, that line 'we're gonna need a bigger chopper' felt like a thumbs up to the greatest shark movie of all time. A guilty pleasure.
This is a movie for sure. Every movie has its ups and downs. You know the thing about this movie. It's almost self-aware. The more recent ones take themselves to seriously, but the original is so stupid. It doesn't care about what's possible, and what's not. It just wants to Sharknado. This is a "so bad it's good" movie, reminiscent of Attack of The Killer Tomatoes. Perfect film for film students who want to know how to have more WTF moments than all the seasons of Lost combined.
