Summary: Speed 2 -Cruise Control
Review: Definitely avoidable. Sheer waste of time. The acting is very average and tze storytelling is very weak. Even Sandra Bullock has given an oridinary performance.
If you want waste money, then rent it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Typical Hollywood: From big Blockbuster to bad sequel...
Review: This is typical Hollywood trying to create a movie with the same plot and different settings. This movie is mundane to so the least. Cheesy characters, poor script, big explosions, and ridiculous plot. Not that Keanu is some maverick actor, but he must have laughed at this script when they offered it to him, before turning them down. This film explains why after 5 years there is no Speed 3!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this is exactly what is wrong with hollywood today!!
Review: As a fan of the original, I have to say this is the WORST sequel ever. This is a prime example of hollywood's ... promotion and marketing of a highly succesful film, 20th century Fox should have known better, No wonder Keanu Reeces passed, if you can't make a good sequel, don't make one at all!! Willem Dafoe looks bored, you will be bored!!

Summary: SPEED 2 -- A MOVIE OUT OF CONTROL
Review: Let make some points: First of all, yes, this movie does have lots of action in it. There's even some humor scattered throughout. But apart from those two things, this movie is dreadful in every possible way. Everything is so cliche. The ugly, eccentric villian (he likes leeches). The stupid but beautiful female who is actually smarter in some ways than the villian in that at least she has her head ... on straight. The buff, handsome hero who comes to the rescue and saves the day. Down-to-the-last-second suspense. Personally, I don't see how this was even made into a movie. The producers probably thought that the earlier movie's success would pull it through. The script and storyline in this movie is very bad. From the looks of things, people saw this movie for 3 reasons: 1 - To see Sandra Bullock, whom they adore. 2 - In hopes that Speed 2 will be as good as the first one. 3 - They were desperate for an action flick. Pass on this movie, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Summary: It's a stupid action film
Review: I think the producers of Speed 2 should have cancellend any attempt to actually make the film after lead actor Keanu Reeves turned down another role, claiming how he disliked the script. That's basically enough said.

Speed 2 is simply stupid, rather, in better terms...brain dead. It makes Jerry Bruckheimer productions look thoughtful in comparison. Willem Dafoe is bland the whole way through, Jason Patric makes a nice attempt as the hero, but doesn't get the job done, and Sandra Bullock continues to show that she makes the worst film choises for a "high profile" actress(though I do see that high profile slipping away film after film).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Reeves was smart !
Review: Keanu Reeves must have a really good agent! Instead of accepting to make this cheap sequel to the action classic "SPEED", he chose to shoot great movies like "THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE" and "MATRIX". The screenplay (if we can call it by that name) is so bad it made me laugh.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What A Sin !
Review: What a sin! You take one of the greatest surprises of action movies in the decade("SPEED")and then make a totally wasted Sequel responsible for the bad name sequels have! It's the same director(de Bont), the same beautiful actress(Bullock), but it never works. I feel sorry for Jason Patric being in it, he's a great and respectable actor.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: booooring
Review: What a waste of time and money. This was probably the stupidest Sandra Bullock movie ever made...not that her movies aren't stupid enough already. And you wonder why Keanu Reeves wouldn't do this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh The Horror, THE HORROR!
Review: What more can be said than awful. Ok, How about hideous, disgusting, vile, trite, pathetic, and utterly contrived. The first SPEED was very good, but was there really a need for a sequel, and on a cruise ship, give me a freaking break. Even Keanu wouldn't star in this nightmare movie from hell, that's how truly awful it was.

I almost wish I could sue the film company for the hour or so I wasted by watching it when it came on cable. It was like a car accident, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't look away. I practically needed a "Silkwood" shower after viewing it, and my cat is still have nightmares about it, he screams in his sleep now. I wish only there was a way to erase these thingsfrom my permanent memory, and movie history in general.
