Rating: Summary: Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is one of my favorite action movies!!!!! One of the best things about it is the chemistry between them. It totally keeps you on the edge of your seat! Dennis Hopper does a great job as a villian. I think the plot was great and I truly enjoyed it. I only wish that Keanu had been in Speed 2.
Rating: Summary: What this movie has to offer... Review: Sandra Bullock. and that's about it.
Rating: Summary: non-stop action Review: Speed is one of the best action films ever made. It has some of the most incredible chase scenes. I find a lot of action movies to be boring, like in The Corruptor people just stand there shooting and we're bored. This action film is really smart and has a great plot. It's fast and exciting. Sorry I don't have time to write a lon g review. Bye!
Rating: Summary: I can't believe what I'm reading Review: Speed? C'mon people, this movie stunk to high heaven. Good story, admitted, but the final product left me shaking my head. Keanu Reeve's acting was so bad, I wanted to stick my hand inside the screen and slap the little SOB. If there was an Academy Award for 'Ham', then I'd understand, but I don't think there is. Little boy trying to play a grown-up role is what it boils down to. Maybe he should have goton a few more chest hairs before he decided to do this.Next, there are 'serious' action movies and then there are the campy. Both are enjoyable, but they should never cross the lines with each other. Speed came off as trying to be serious, but fell flat a number of times. I would eat my own boogers on national TV for two hours if ANYONE could get a bus to make that jump.
Rating: Summary: question Review: Can someone get back to me to let me know if this movie is going to be re-released in DTS (digital sound) and/or THX and when? I know that this would be an even higher rated movie if this were done, then this movie would be compared in terms of special effects and action like "Twister" .
Rating: Summary: Speed will have you energized Review: At the begining i didnt know what to excpect but once getting into the movie i couldnt get off the edge my couch.This movie defintaly would have gotten a 5 star but i wasnt very impressed with the way Keana Reeves spoke his role.It was bland at some times.The excitement of the movie was great.Going through thcity steets down through the airport and ending up on the train.This movie has it all.I f you liked this movie i highly recommend fair game.It is a must have for any movie freak.
Rating: Summary: One of the most exciting action films I've ever seen Review: Speed is an excellent action film,directed by Jan DeBont.Of course most people already know the plot.(mad bomber wants $3,000,000,bus will explode if it goes under 50 mph,etc.etc.)The action is almost nonstop,and there are hardly any dull spots at all.The performances are very good,too.Keanu Reeves as L.A.cop Jack Traven,Sandra Bullock(who is extremely cute,and I think this is the best movie she's done)as Annie,Dennis Hopper as Howard Payne(the bomber),and Jeff Daniels as Harry,just to name some.The musical score by Mark Mancina moves the film along perfectly.This is Jan DeBont's best film,and the sequal Speed 2:Cruise Control doesn't even compare to this one.Overall,it's a great film,and gives you everything an action film should.
Rating: Summary: A Good Fast Paced Action Film! Review: This was a very good action film. This movie had everything that an audience could ever hope for. You had an excellent hero in the person of Keanu Reeves. You had a very evil villain with actor Dennis Hopper. Your heroine was well played by Sandra Bullock. This movie featured outstanding special effects that made the handiwork of mad bomber Dennis Hopper even more realistic as well as being scary. Fron the opening scene on the elevator,the bus ride as well as the subway shot were very capable of keeping you on the edge of your seat. You could describe this movie as being a trend setter. Be sure to buy and watch this movie. You will not be dissapointed.
Rating: Summary: Bad Acting, Stereotypical, unrealistic diaster-movie stunts Review: I just finished watching this movie on VHS 15 minutes ago. It was very difficult to sit through the whole thing. The acting was bad, the characters were 2D; it was like a bad made-for-TV diaster movie. I think Keanu Reeves was fantastic IN THE MATRIX. But I am suprised he was given a lead again with this movie in his portfolio. I should add that the camera work was good. But the music was awful (like Casio keyboard sequences). And the dialog was just cheesy. I am honestly shocked that this movie did so well at the box office, even among respected critics, and still gets good reviews here. I think 10 or so years from now, people will look back and wonder what in the world they were thinking when they praised this movie. Awful, shallow, canned, trite, forced, devoid of even the pretense of reality. It reminded me of Con-Air. Same kind of hoakiness, but at least Con-Air had a protagonist with some depth.
