Speed 2 - Cruise Control

Rating:
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 original speed was awesome, I loved the movie. But Speed 2 cruise control is just ..... 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 certainly 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 Original. SO if your thinking of renting this movie because you liked the first one definitely pass because this movie stinks --

Summary: A top speed of two millimeters a second
Review: It was Randy in Scream 2 who quoted sequels as, "by definition alone they are inferior films." This film goes a long way to backing up that particular statement. Rather it ends the debate of sequels in a heart beat. And what is wrong with this movie? For starters, you have a ditsy heroine (Sandra Bullock from the original Speed) who drives a car much like she drove the bus in the first movie. A hero cop (Jason Patric) who takes about as much interest in what's going on around him as a dog valuum. And let's not forget the obligatory bad guy (Willem Dafoe) who's bacground and overall purpose make about as much sense as a misspelt chinese manuel to a VCR. The overall story has no logic, no pace, and no direction. It's name Speed 2: Cruise Control? A more appropriate name would've been, "What Speed 2: No Control."

Summary: Speed 2: Lack of Control !
Review: Guy, this is baaaaaaaaddd....I wonder how Bullock accepted this sequence (you will say: money. But there are other ways to getting it for a great actress like her, Director Jan dropped the ball, and probably sepulted this "series" forever. (altough the public has a short memory!)Horrible. Dafoe, a great actor, also surprised me, accepting the role of a hijacker. Bá!

Summary: Is this the best they could do?
Review: What a piece of junk! A ship instead of a bus, so they have to search for something to crash into. A computergenius who takes over the ship and nobody simply puls the plug on the computers and resumes manual steering. It is a ship, for crying out loud, not a supercritical airplane! The original speed kept up the pace. With this movie I kept it up by pushing fast-forward for minutes on end. And then the cast: Dafoe tries to be really bad, but in the end he was the only guy I grew to like. Bullock gave a repeat performance of the original, without the zest of the original and Patric instead of Reeves is like being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The equivalent of two dollars that I paid to rent this tape was the biggest waste of money ever.

Rating:
Summary: Very Unimpressed
Review: The original SPEED is my favorite movie. But SPEED 2 was a big let down. It ruined the name SPEED had built up for itself. They could have gotten bigger stars to do the movie. Don't get me wrong, Jason Patric is a fine actor. But Willem Dafoe? I had never heard of him before I saw this movie! Sandra Bullock's turned into... s girl! Hopefully they will make a SPEED to compensate for this disaster. Go back to the original story somehow, with the original characters.

Summary: descusting, it's a dumb compaired to Speed
Review: The replacement of Keanu Reeves made me mad. Sandra Bullock did nothing that she did on Speed 1. The first one was way better no question about that. I think whoever thaught that was good and thaught it deserved anything more than one star should compair it to the first one.

Rating:
Summary: Not that good at all
Review: I loved the first one, but hated this one. The plot was predictable; Bullock didn't do anything. I did not like the fact that Reeves was not in it. This sequel had nothing to do with the first one. It was like a whole different movie. The first one made scene with the bus and the bomb; when they couldn't go below 50 moh. But, I don't see how it works with a boat that can't stop. Plus, I loved Hopper's performance in the first one. He was the villian you love to hate. But, Dafoe just acted like a some kind of crazy maniac. And seemed like he was hardly even trying. And Patric stunk. I highly recommend the FIRST one. But don't waste your time and/or money on this on. IT smells

Summary: BAD
Review: I loved the first Speed ****1/2. But then I rented Speed 2 and I was so disappointed. I love Sandra Bullock espesially in the character of Angela Benett. The Angela in the first Speed. The character plain leads to a whiny know-it-all character. Sandra dows the best she can but the character will be never more. Also, Jason Patric's character is plain horrible. He doesn't have the right stuff that Keanu had in the first movie. The villian is plain stupid. He didn't have the right stuff that the villian in the first movie had. Oh, I wish that Speed 2 would have some kind of connection to the first movie than just Sandra. I also found the movie being very boring. The movie wasn't as fast-paced as the first movie and you didn't wish that they would be ok like in the first one. The special-effects were ok but the ending was so disappointing like all the other stuff in this lame and over packed sequel. I plain give rhis poor movie *.

Summary: This movie doesn't have a brain in its pretty little head...
Review: But it sure is fun! You can see every plot twist half an hour before it happens, but I laughed more in this movie (unintentionally?) than I have in a lot of comedies I've seen. Speed 2 is in no way like Speed. Whereas the first one was a tight, solid little thriller, Speed 2 refuses to take itself seriously. It giggles and guffaws in its bubbly, scatter-brained way, and giddily trots through each cliched plot development: it is the bimbo of action movies. But the movie is full of details
(some of the action parts are boring) and while it may not be deep, it isn't empty (except empty-headed). This is a great movie to just have a laugh over with friends. Grab a bowl of popcorn and don't expect too much. Of course, with Willem Dafoe, his crazy grin, the tune man (from the first movie) and a spunky deaf girl (constantly in peril, of course) what could you expect?

Rating:
Summary: Fun, but very dumb
Review: The first Speed was a whole lot better. But this one is fun too, cause its so stupid that is just another a dumb movie. I do kind of wonder what happend to Jack. The deaf girl was the best character. The ending was kind of stupid. Its a fun movie to see once or twice, but probably not more than that.
