Summary: Sequel does little harm...
Review: Director Jan De Bont brings to the screen another hijacking adventure, this time on a boat. While plenty of the suspense from the first film is missing and the comic relief gets a little too wasteful, "Speed 2: Cruise Control" keeps a pretty good pace without doing much harm to the viewer. Jason Patric plays our hero here, and does a commendable job. Sandra Bullock doesn't get too annoying, and Willem Dafoe plays the bad guy pretty much like anyone else would have. Overall, an easy flick to watch, but not a groundbreaking action spectacular.

Summary: Not better than the first though in no way worse..
Review: Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock), the woman who who was forced to drive a bus at 50 miles an hour or higher in the first Speed returns in this more action and suspense filled thriller. She's apparently left Jack (Keanu Reeves, though he doesn't appear in the movie) and has a new boyfriend (Jason Patric) Patric, like Reeves, is a cop. After several incidents, Porter tells her new boyfriend that maybe they're not right for each other. He says that they should spend more time together and learn more about each other. So they buy tickets to a luxury cruise ship. However, an evil computer genius (Willem Dafoe) takes over the ship and has set it to crash into a small town. Now, Porter and her boyfriend must stop this from happening.I think that Speed 2 had a lot more suspense and a villian better than Dennis Hopper (Dennis Hopper was a bit comedic) There are some fist fights and some good scenes are the opening motorcycle scene and the crash into the town and the sideways turn from the other ship.
Good movie though not really worth buying. Extra: When Dafoe steals Porter, Patric takes off his shirt and follows. However, in the following scene, he has another shirt on.

Summary: This film is pure junk!!!
Review: The first was better than this one, but they both stunk. Reeves cannot act so even if he did star in this sequal he would not have saved it. Bullock is boring and numb, she has no personality in her acting at all. The special effects are at times cheezy and even cheap looking. The deaf girl gets my vote for the best acting performance, simply because she hardly speaks. Willem Dafoe, get a friggin haircut. If I could give this film a negative I would. Wanna see action, try the Die Hard Trilogy.

Summary: Speed 2: Cruise Control
Review: OK, kill me, but I actually kinda like Speed 2. But, compared to the original Speed, this film seems like i'm watching an episode of Barney. There is little suspense, bad acting, and none of the edge of your seat thrills that the original had. I give this film 3 stars because of the Special Effects, it didn't try to copy Speed, and for Sandra Bullock. She at least gives a credible performance reprising her role from the original. Also, I'm not surprised Keanu Reeves backed out of this one. I woulda backed out too after reading the horrible script. Overall Grade: C (7)

Summary: In this movie was created in 1960s it could be a classic
Review: The one star is for:
1)You could watch a cruise ship mowing down beach condos.
2)A not too bad oil-tanker-blow-up-scene.
3)A song that wake ya up at the end of the cruise. I would like to take this star away-but unfortunate I cannot because:
1)Every one in this movie are stupid including the bad guy-normally they are the smarter than cops,lol
2)Cruise ship is a computerized toy ship. If this movie was shot in 1960s, it could be another "Gozilla", but......

Review: Definately Avoidable. Sheer waste of time. The acting is very average and the storyline is very weak. Even Sandra Bullock has given an ordinary performance. If you want to waste money, then rent it.

Summary: Lives up to the original, but does not totally surpass it!
Review: This was an awesome sequel, one of the best ones I've seen, but it may actually be closer to 4.5 stars. The director really tried to revive the "movie speed" he had created in the first one, its just that he forgot what made the first Speed such a hit film. It was not how grand it was (it all revolved arouond a plain BUS!!), but how the action and characters worked with what they had. In the sequel that upbeat feeling is replaced by a sort of megalomaniac's point of view and the action is sometimes put on second plan. Still, this is a very good sequel that in some cases supasses the original. It was much more exotic and fresh, for example.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: Why was this film even made? Take my word for it, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST SEQUELS EVER TO OF BEEN CREATED. While the original "Speed" was an action masterpiece, this sequel is dry and boring, with a weak and artificial looking climax. The script and plot is cheesy, and DaFoe was perhaps the only acting high-point in the entire film. Just one word: UGH!

Summary: Bad sequel, awful waste of time, bad acting
Review: "Speed 2" seemingly has absolutely nothing to do with the first, superior "Speed," by having only Sandra Bullock and her new LAPD/SWAT boyfriend (not Keanu Reeves) go on a cruise ship and have it technically hijacked by sick madman Willem Dafoe, in one of his worst roles EVER. Futhermore, Jan De Bont further ruins the movie by adding unnecessary details like the large cruise ship, eccentric passengers, desperate crew, and by making it louder than necessary, while "Speed" has a simple plot and a electrically charged screenplay to work with. In other words, the movie is loud, totally unnecessary, acting is loud and overstated, and is totally bad. The only reason I give it two stars is because Bullock manages through this turgid mess with a straight face and her hilarious lines make this a bearable action "thriller." Rated PG-13 for violence and profanity.

Summary: Mondo thriller
Review: Speed 2 is one of the better action sequels of the 1990's. It would've been better if Keanu had returned. Unfortunately he didn't want to return. That stinks because he would have done much better than Jason Patric. The chemistry isnt there between Patric and Bullock. Patric gets most of the best action scenes while Bullock essential to the success of the original gets downplayed which bites. Nevertheless its still a super sequel. The crashing of the ship into the port city is excelent. dodging the tanker is also kinetic. But the best sequence is the part where Patric goes underwater to put a chain into the propeller and almost gets caught. This make the scenes from the original speed almost plausible. Speed will always be better though.
