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 bad enough, 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 things from my permanent memory, and movie history in general.

Summary: horrible
Review: This movie was just plain flat out horrible. Obviously Keanu Reeves is thanking god right know that he didnt do the sequel to speed. The originol speed was awesome, i loved the movie. But speed 2 cruise control is just crap. It is basically the same plot line with the only good acting coming from sandra bullock, the rest of the actors and actresses are more like baywatch material. The villian is ceartainly not near as good as dennis hopper was in the first. And the guy who takes keanu reeves place is nowhere near as good as reeves was in the origonal. SO if your thinking of renting this movie because you liked the first one definitly pass becasue this movie stinks

Summary: It's a stupid action film
Review: I think the producers of Speed 2 should have cancelled 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. But no, just change the script around and put in another actor-Jason Patric-as the hero. Speed 2 is simply stupid, or rather, in better terms, moronic and brain dead. It makes Jerry Bruckheimer productions look thoughtful in comparison. Jason Patric is bland the whole way through, Willem Dafoe makes a nice attmept as the villain but doesn't get the job done, and Sandra Bullock continues to show that she makes the worst film choices for a "high profile" actress (though I do see that high profile slipping away film after film).

Summary: Reeves was smart !
Review: KEanu Reeves must have a realy 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 screnplay ( if we can call it by that name) is so bad it made me laugh.

Summary: Best Action Movie Ever!
Review: I saw this movie first on HBO and I loved it! I watched it a few more times, and I finally ordered it today. It is the best action movie ever! Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric make an AWESOME couple in this movie. You have to see it! It's the best!

Summary: Nothing like the original
Review: Speed 2 is pretty much just another solid action movie with nothing spectacular. All the actors and actresses do a good job in the acting and the plot is good, but when you compare it to the first Speed, which was one of the best action movies of the decade, Speed 2 is NOTHING. The only thing I saw in Speed 2 that even comes close to comparing with the original Speed is the special effects. The ending sequence and many of the other effects are pretty good. But the suspense and non-stop action are just not there like they were in the first Speed. To make it short, if you want a good, normal everyday action movie, Speed 2: Cruise Control would be a good movie to get. But if you want an even better movie, one of the best action movies of the decade, check out the original Speed first.

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, the kind of 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 Dafoe being in it, he's a great and respectable actor.

Summary: Why so hated?
Review: I agree with Mr. Litton that I cannot understand why this movie has been so loathed by the public and critics. Far worse movies have been made and less has been written. It is an action movie-no one should expect a realistic story. Enjoy it for what it is-a fun ride on the sea.

Summary: What was so wrong with it?
Review: My mother and I were the only two people in the theater the day that we saw Speed 2: Cruise Control. After watching the movie, I couldn't understand why so many people hated this movie. It was not a bad movie by any account, except for some discrepancies in the destruction of the cruise ship. The movie made me laugh while also giving me a dosage of suspense, thrills, and great special effects. Sandra Bullock is always a joy to watch on screen, giving each of her movies a comic, light and happy feel. The absence of Keanu Reeves is nothing to worry about, seeing as how he didn't really bring much adventure to the first movie either. Jason Patric delivers a terrific performance, and it is Willem Dafoe's character who is the epitome of insanity and hunger for revenge. I wouldn't really listen to a lot of what people had to say: this is a comical, thrill-ride movie that will have you laughing and holding your breath.

Summary: Stick with the first 'Speed'!
Review: This is not a good movie. It has bad editing, horrible script, bad action-sequences, dumb-villian, hammy acting, except for Sandra Bullock who's playing herself in a surprisingly annoying way. Nothing seems to be right here. The only thing worth-wile is the final resort-crushing sequence. Rent it first. If you like Sandra Bullock I recommend 'Speed', if you like Jason Patric I recommend 'After Dark My Swet, and if you like Willem Dafoe I recommend 'Platoon' or 'The English Patient'. From a scale of 1-10 I give it a 3.
