I found the burning tumbleweed-nado that was on the news a couple of weeks back far more watchable.
(A Texas crew was doing a controlled burn when a sudden vortex opened up and started carrying tumbleweeds into the burn zone, resulting in a tornado full of burning tumbleweeds)
I never saw the first one. Until tonight. I went to see the Rifftrax riffed version of Sharknado 1... oh, holy hell was that bad. And utterly hilarious.
I take back what I said upthread about it not being enjoyable. This is now my second favorite Rifftrax, right after Birdemic: Shock and Horror.
If you haven't seen Sharknado 1, go and see the Rifftrax version of it. It replays in theaters next week, and it's worth every penny.
It's more fun when you have at least one other person there with you to laugh at the absurdity. If anyone goes into a movie like this expecting it to be good then I blame the viewer.

I had planned to go last night, but our patching took longer than expected and I didn't get off work in time. I was wondering if it was worth going to the replay next week.
Thanks for the good words. I'm encouraged. Now to see if I can make THAT showtime...
It's just... awful. Which is why I never understood why Sharknado II was announced about a week after Sharknado was broadcast and they said it was well received.
And given how often it was rebroadcast on multiple channels (it seemed everyone had shown it multiple times), I thought it must've been something good.
But 15 minutes in, I turned off the dreck.
I mean, every channel had it on, multiple times, it was the talk of the town everywhere I went... and yet, I couldn't find anyone who liked it. Just lots of talk.
Edit: It feels like one year-long April Fool's joke, to be honest. And really, I do like dreck - it seems a lot of movies people hate, I end up liking. I've generated an interpretation of movie ratings - 2-3 stars is a show I'd really like, 1 is dreck, 4-5 are too heavy for entertainment.
Worf, the reason there a sequel is because it made money. There were midnight showing on the big screen in the US and Canada. All sold out. I think read that it made for around 200,000 and made back 15-20 million.
I had a cocktail at the local hipster bar called a Sharknado. It was very good... a more complex Zombie (which they also do, also good). Now I want to see the movie, but first I have to buy ten kinds of rum and these drinking vessels.

You know, I had seen Sharknado when it was originally on, but I swear, I must have slept for a half hour or more. I saw the Rifftrax Live encore, and don't remember

I can't believe I'm all set to record the sequel to possibly the worst movie I've ever sat through, but there it is. It's done. What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm recording the sequel and watching it live! I even bought a script used in production, will receive the blu ray, have a shark named after me and will get a special shout out on social media.
Some folks want to have a Sharknado 2 watch party. I haven't seen the first one. Actually, I'm not sure anyone has, except the host. Do we need to see them both, in order?
They must have gotten a larger budget. The production value is much better than the first one. The CGI is better and it's actually cloudy or raining whereas the first movie it was sunny most of the time during a major storm.
I probably would have loved watching this back in the sixties. For some reason, everything was funnier to me back then. I mean, how else can you explain the popularity of Firesign Theater?
But Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan are on ABC in NYC, so it wasn't all NBC all the time.
