Review of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming

Let me start off this review by stating that I legitimately enjoyed Sharknado 1-4. I found them to be quite entertaining with their fast-paced style, but Sharknado 5 makes the mistake of being too over-the-top without being as original as the previous films, making it a chore to sit through. Sharknado 5 starts off with an Indiana Jones parody and slowly unravels as the Sharknado is able to warp around, causing damage all over the globe as Fin and April chase after it. There are a few memorable moments but a lot of it is pretty forgettable, and the sheer ridiculousness of the whole film is it's downfall since the whole thing just feels like a bunch of dumb random moments sewn together. By the end of the film I was exhausted and just couldn't care as Fin and the Sharknado popped up in different places, unlike previous entries in the series where I was generally having fun watching the silly chaos unfold on screen until the credits rolled. I can't really recommend this film unless you are dead-set on going through the entire series, in which case you're probably going to see this anyway. But to anyone else I would recommend just watching one of the first 4 films instead.
