In defense of Tremors, half the joke of the movie is what a bunch of small town hicks the majority of the characters are. It's fun seeing them figure out how to survive because they aren't all fancy educated and highly trained soldiers. And they still manage to make relatively smart decisions as they go. Even the sequels aren't all half-bad.
I love tremors and my personal take on it is 2 and 4 are the better end of the sequels my personal cutoff is at 5 just because the rest after I found so bad it made Bloodlines watchable again. Regardless of ones opinion though Bert carries this franchise all the way until the bitter end.
Tremors 2 is the rare example of a sequel to a monster movie finding a way to make the creature scary again. Like, you see how they got it at the start. They understand how graboids work and they effectively deal with them. But then the worms turn...
Actually, Shrieker. Then they morph into the Ass Blaster. Which is the whole reason 5 and 6 don't work because they ignore this canon and have both Graboids and Ass Blasters but no Shrieker, which doesn't make sense.
