#Sharknado2 Trends on Twitter as Awesomely Bad CGI Sequel Premieres

#Sharknado2 is ruling Twitter this week after the sequel to last summer's campy cult classic premiered on Syfy Wednesday, and fans are already brainstorming title suggestions for a third installment.

The story is the same — a massive tornado system sweeps in, sucking up sharks from the waters and raining them down on unsuspecting victims. But "Sharknado 2: The Second One" brings the awesomely bad CGI chaos to New York City, where Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and a supporting cast of cameos — including Mark McGrath, Matt Lauer, Perez Hilton, and Kelly Osbourne — battle the razor-toothed predators.

"Something about 'Sharknado' made people crazy, and the movie became the cult phenomenon of that summer and beyond," The New York Times reported. "Naturally, there would be a sequel, and, of course, the shark storm this time would be visited upon New York. Syfy, an NBCUniversal property, has been promoting 'Sharknado 2' relentlessly, and who can blame it? If you're a secondary cable channel and have a chance to distinguish yourself from the scores of others, you'd better take it." 

Viewers had a wide range of reactions to "Sharknado 2" on Twitter.

There is no equivalent in the history of film to that first 5 minutes of #Sharknado2. #fact

Look, give credit to the sharks, even when caught in a tornado, they keep their heads in the game #Sharknado2
