1 for dafoe(i luv him)

1 for all that money
i truly believe it was an exaggeration...an overtly wastage of money....
specificallyno input from anyone -
MCT:July 31, 2008The seagoing sequel to Speed, whereas the bad guys have rigged a boat (instead of a bus) to blow up if it ever stops, has the cast running scared, again. Yawn. Not as much fun the second time around.

"Annie" (Sandra Bullock) has apparently recovered the trauma of the hijacked bus she was a part of a few years ago. She moved on from "Jack", the hero of the bus incident whom she hooked up with, and is now dating a new beau, who is also a cop, "Alex" (Jason Patric). The two go on a romantic cruise, with the crew mistaking them as a couple on their honeymoon not knowing that "Alex" is carrying a ring in his pocket.
Then it happens. A crazed man (Willem Dafoe), who created the ship's software, hijacks the boat with plans to steal the multi-million dollar jewel collection that is being stored on board.
Now, "Alex" goes in full cop mode, despite being well into international waters and out of his jurisdiction, and tries to stop the maniac's plans, while saving the ship and all those still on board.
First off, the movie lacks the drama that the first film had. In my opinion, the first movie had an equal amount of drama and action. I just didn't feel the drama the first movie had. Also, the action really did not kick in until the last quarter of the movie. Yes, the movie had action through out, but there was just too much breathing room between action sequences in this film.
There are some good special effects in this film. Some good explosions, and the water pouring onto the ship. However, the water coming onto the ship has been seen way too many times in other movies with a cruise ship, and is not spectacular.
As for the performances in the film, it's not bad. I felt that there was some pretty bad character development with the majority of the supporting cast. Also, there was little chemistry between Bullock and Patric -- there was some, but not enough to make them a really believable couple. Dafoe is a very good madman, but I felt as if he was holding back a bit.
I would say that this might be a good rental if your first four choices are not available. It's a fine sequel, but not a perfect sequel. -

This boring sequel is missing all of the excitement, suspense, and tension that made its predecessor so much fun.
-

With Jason Patric at the helm, it was not as good as the first but something to watch if you like Action. The chemistry I believe was just not there.
-
MCT:June 18, 2008One of the worst sequels of all time. Keanu Reeves had enough sense not to come back to star in it. I can't same the same thing for Sandra Bullock and Robert Partric.
-
MCT:June 12, 2008This movie was great, i loved this movie and the first on to! They had great actors and i loved all the action in the movie!
Go and see it!!

If you have problems grasping the concept of infinity, just divide the worth of the first "Speed" by the worth of this one.
-
nah the first and only one i dont like when main characters are seen as capricious in their emotional affections for one character in one movie then a different one in another it just iritates me
-
MCT:April 15, 2008Note to self, dont make a remake without the lead ACTORS!! This movie bombed so badly without Keanu. Jason Patric just cant handle the greatest that Keanu set in the original. The only thing that prevents this movie from getting lower than 1 point is the long crash at the end. That was pretty good.

Although Speed 2 has some good actors and some good action sequences; I must admit that a sequel shouldn't have been made without Keanu Reeves.
Jason Patric is a better actor than Reeves...yet I must say that Keanu Reeves did more for the original than Patric does for this. While Sandra Bullock is basically just there to look cute. William Dafoe is a great actor but here he laughs so much that you'd think he was rehearsing to play the Green Goblin.
Also, I must add that the title just sucks. Speed 2: Cruise Control ? That's just horrible. The first was just smarter and much better made. -
MCT:April 9, 2008
I was wondering what would be the proper reaction when the writer of 'Speed 2' came up with that script. I guess it would be something in the lines of "What do you mean by doing the sequel on a... boat? Are you fucking serious?" But somehow they went on and did it anyway. As I would expect, it couldn't be any worse.

Hum... When we hear the word speed coming from a movie, we want speed, right? But how can a cruising boat got to great speeds? It canīt, but the director, the producers and the crew of this movie didnīt knew this.
-
MCT:April 4, 2008
No review necessary.
Although, it gets a full star because the scene with the boat taking forever to stop on the dock is utterly hilarious. -
MCT:March 8, 2008
Half a star for John Malcovich, half a star for Sandra Bullock (so cute) half a star for the effort & occasional hilariousness. Being dumb doesn't earn you good grades though, not even in film school.

I did not like this one bit. If you didn't watch the first movie, then you may enjoy it. Otherwise, just rent Speed again.
-
MCT:January 20, 2008I like her chemistry with Keanu, but after you've seen one "Speed" you've pretty much seen them all.
-
MCT:January 18, 2008
"Aww man!" was what Sandra Bullock kept saying and I kept thinking during the movie. This is a terrible sequel that never should have been made. I don't like Keanu Reeves but even he would've been better than blah Jason Patrick. Poor guy.
-
MCT:January 14, 2008
i really enjoyed the first "speed" movie and i can only hope the sequel is just as good even though i have heard it is far from it.
-
MCT:December 22, 2007
God awful. This movie doesn't deserve to have any link with the first Speed. Don't see it under any circumstances.
-
MCT:December 8, 2007OK it's not as great as the first one but damn it's still an enjoyable ride. Lots of unbeliveable action makes you forget about the absurdity.
-
MCT:December 4, 2007
When will Hollywood stop putting out sequels without the original cast? Cool ending, but horrible script & supporting cast.
-
MCT:December 1, 2007
Much better than the first! The only bad thing I have to say about it is the manactor, I wanted Reeves in this too! But Patric is OK to ;P I really love the action in this film! It never stops! The best scenes ever! The cover is leading...Fun coments but mostly action in this film and I liked it! Romance too ofcourse ;)
