Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-05-15  
I think Im going to get seasick
Speed was a great movie with an interesting plot and fast-paced action that kept your attention for the whole movie. Speed 2 was an unnecessary sequel that comes off more as a vanity project for Sandra Bullock(or Sandra Bollocks).
Premise: A psychotic computer genuis(played by Willem Dafoe) takes control of a ship(via a computer) and tries to crash it into an oil tanker miles away. A couple aboard the ship try to save the passengers as well as stop him.
Opinion: What a truly pointless sequel this was. Sandra Bullock has never been more annoying. Willem Dafoe was great in Boondock Saints and the otherwise abysmal State Of The Union but here he is reduced to some cornball villian pissing and moaning about a job that laid him off for being sick. What a waste. Jason Patric is okay but he's seen better days on the silver screen. The script looked like it was written by overzealous tweenagers and the special effects are quite dull. Dont waste 2 hour and 5 minutes of your life on a sequel that was rightfully panned. Stick with Speed and pretend like Cruise Control never existed. Im pretty sure everybody else that has seen it has. |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-08
I'd rather jump overboard!
Speed 2 - Cruise Control has to be the worst sequel in cinema history. Looks like Keanu Reeves knew better and opted not to reprise his role, but what was Sandra Bullock thinking? She is a great and funny actress but jeez didn't she read the script? Jason Patric took Keanu's leading man place, he plays a different character entirely. This Speed takes place on an Ocean liner and Willem Dafoe is the bad guy who threatens to blow up the boat if his demands are not met. Trust me this film is horrible, stick to the original! | | Reviewed on 2008-04-15
Make Speed 3!
Dude, this movie rawks!!! It's got everything: Sandra Bullock and boats. That's why this movie is awesome. I hope that other guy's right and they're making Speed 3. | | Reviewed on 2008-03-19
A de Bont classic for the ages!
Now I know what you're thinking; "Speed 1 was incredible, and there is no way Speed 2 could top that. Why bother?" Well first off, with all due respect to the original, the sequel makes Speed 1 look like a bad David J. Burke film. And I say that not to knock the original but in praise of the sequel. Further more S2 (Speed 2) is the film Jan de Bont originally set out to make with S1. But the limited S1 budget meant that the script had to be reworked and land locked shifting it's focus away from open ocean to the open road. After the commercial success of the S1 de Bont finally had the backing and budget needed to realize his original vision going back to the franchises nautical roots in what became the cult classic we know as Speed 2: Cruse Control. Like so many other cult classic masterpieces S2 debuted at the box office head of its time and went largely unnoticed only to reemerge months later as a huge hit when reaching the rental market.
The new refined S2 cast introduced the celebrated Jason Patric whose insistence on preforming his own stunts added an incredible adrenaline laced icing on this films already action packed cake. The eye popping finale pulled out all the stops and pushed this film over the edge and into a league of its own, something many have said was only possible under the famous de Bont/Bullock Hollywood power house.
With Hollywood rumor mills abuzz of a third installment it is clear this is one film that is not slowing down!
(I own and love the DVD but im hoping the Blu-ray edition comes soon!) | | Reviewed on 2008-03-18
Best movie ever
Honestly this movie is amazing. I'll keep it brief and honest. Patric is better than Reeves. Defoe is better than Hopper...and Bullock is better than Bullock (Speed 1). And there you have it. I think most people agree with me because I hear they're making Speed 3. Booyeah! | |
