4.0 out of 5 stars
not as good as the first one,but still fairly entertaining (3.5/5),
By
This review is from: Speed 2: Cruise Control (Widescreen) (DVD)
while i don't think this movie was a s good as the original,i alsodon't think it's as bad as the average rating here(2/5)indicates.true,it doesn't have Keanu Reeves,or Dennis Hopper as the bad guy.however,Sandra Bullock does return.and it does have Jason Patric,who's pretty good actor with some charisma.and let's not forget Willem Dafoe as the bad guy.he's makes a good villain,in my mind.just like the first "Speed"this one has some decent action sequences,but they are less frequent ans less flashy than the original.also,there is one scenes which completely shatters believability.the story itself is not as compelling.in fact,i think there is less depth to this one.Jan de Bont and Graham Yost are also behind this one,but for whatever reason they fail to capture the same magic.still,it's a highly entertaining movie.for that reason,i give "Speed 2" 3.5/5

not bad,
By Kyle Dries (nsw) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speed 2 (DVD)
ok, this sequel does not live up to the standards of the first but it is very enjoyable. Sure there can be the occasional stupid dialogue here and there, but only really by one person, Willem defoe, but he did an ok job but i didnt see it for him, i saw it for the action. The action sequences really picked up when daylight came. They are good but they should have cut them shorter a bit, only because i really wanted to feel the rush like in the first, but i love the ship running into the town and the boat blowing up in the end. I think this film would have been great if Keanu had accepted to come back and they should have kept the MA rating. sandra Bullock, good as usual, Jason Patrik, well they needed somebody to fill in and he did a good job. This film does not take itself too seriously, they made it for the fans, and i liked it, just enjoy it for what it is, a pretty decent sequel.

Speed 2 needs to slow down!,
This review is from: Speed 2: Cruise Control (Widescreen) (DVD)
The original Speed was a different kind of movie (Who would have thought a movie that took place mainly on a bus would be so good?) that for one reason or another MANY people enjoyed. Speed 2 seems to be one of those "We liked the first one so we want a sequel!" Kind of movies, and it turned out to be pretty bad. Speed 2 actually makes a Disney sequel look GOOD. The movie centers around our heroine Annie (her role reprised by Sandra Bullock) who is taking a driving test in the beginning of the movie to get her license back for (gasp!) speeding! She has just gotten herself out of a relationship with Jack (Who was in the first one) and is now with Alex (Jason Patric). When she finds out that Alex works for the same squad that Jack works for she isn't too happy with that. Later Alex decides to take Annie on a cruise and when they do things start off fine and dandy until a mad bomber (William Dafoe) by the name of Geiger takes over the cruise ship trapping a few passengers on board. Let's put this one thing aside, Keanu Reeves didn't show up in this film. Surprisingly enough this one thing is what starts the film slide into ruin. Jason Patric and Sandra Bullock don't really have a whole lot of chemistry. It isn't as well developed as it was in the first Speed movie. I'm sure that even if Keanu Reeves had appeared in this movie it wouldn't have saved it from becoming a mess anyhow. William Dafoe doesn't make for the greatest villian either (who would've thought that five years later he'd be the Green Goblin in the blockbuster hit: Spider Man?). He has the potential to be a great mad bomber but somehow he misses what the bomber in the first movie had. That would be his lack of remorse and intelligence. Speed 2 doesn't keep on the edge of your seat like the first movie did. Speed 2 is like a Disney Sequel, not good enough for the theater. Speed 2 I can honestly say was a bad movie. An under developed plot put along with some pretty under developed characters make this movie seem like garbage. I don't recommend this movie to anyone who liked the first one. Those who enjoyed the first movie probably won't like this one.
