Reactions were understandably mixed about the shark tornado horror film among users of the social media site, which mirrored the response of critics.
One particularly deluded fan Mojo The Great said the Syfy TV movie was 'Oscar worthy.'

Fans were divided over whether the sub B movie was good or not

However another named Carly Swanson was almost as emphatic, saying, 'Sharknado 2 is way too entertaining.'
But disappointed user Go Brewers said: 'That's enough of Sharknado for me. I can't believe I watched it this long.

Raphael Esguerra slated the Fashion Police star, saying: 'Kelly Osbourne proved that she really is a talentless nothing with that Sharknado performance. It was bad by Sharknado standards.'
The critics were equally divided, with some appreciating the campy fun while others saw through the facade and realised it was a simply dreadful piece of filmmaking.
Refreshingly blunt Newsday critic Verne Gay gave the film an F+ for viewers with 'any taste' and a B- for fans of the original.
He said: 'The good news is that The Second One often is worse (in a good way) and does boast at least one viral YouTube clip, starring the head of the Statue of Liberty.
