Amazon.co.uk Review
Anybody seen Keanu? The action star of Speed opted out of this overbearing sequel, which finds co-star Sandra Bullock in love with another guy (Jason Patric) and in trouble aboard a cruise ship under the control of a mad extortionist (Willem Dafoe). Speed director Jan de Bont is back at the helm for part 2, but even he seems to have forgotten that what made the first film work was the simplicity of its hook (the bomb, the bus that can't drive below 50 mph, the handful of sympathetic passengers, etc.). Speed 2 is all about hugeness: big ship, lots of places to get into trouble and so on. Even with an eye-popping, endless finale of the vessel crashing into port (and causing mondo destruction), there is nothing about this movie that is remotely as involving as its predecessor. --Tom Keogh

1.0 out of 5 stars How could it possibly go wrong?, 24 Jun 2004
By Tom Robinson (Norwich, Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
  
The sequel to one of the decade's defining action blockbusters should have been pretty straightforward. All Jan De Bont (the film's director) had to do was follow five rules. One, come up with an immensely high concept. Two, maintain the action at a relatively swift pace. Three, give Annie (Sandra Bullock's character) plenty to say because audiences love her. Four, introduce a psychotic villain to scowl and yell like Dennis Hopper. And five, give us plenty more of Keanu Reeves character, SWAT boy Jack Traven, to woo the hearts of the female audience and bust the balls of anyone who gets in his way.

Rule one receives a big fat tick, as the filmmakers come up with a neat reversal of the original. If the newly chosen mode of transport DOESN'T stop, then everyone is in trouble. From this point on though, everything else receives a big fat cross. Rule two is immediately stuffed up by setting the forthcoming events on...wait for it...a cruise ship, meaning the action now progresses with the momentum of a wounded snail attempting to navigate through a puddle of treacle. Rule three also screws up with the screenwriters' decision to relegate Sandra Bullock to the sidelines, oohing and aahing as the men battle it out.

Rule four dies the moment that Willem Dafoe begins to gurn like Jim Carrey with severe constipation. Worst of all, we are informed that his nutjob has a strange blood disease that requires him to apply leeches at regular moments throughout the film...to think that someone actually got paid to write this stuff. And as for rule five...well, it appears to have been thrown out of a very tall building, as it is goodbye Keanu Reeves and hello Jason 'mahogany' Patric. Add dialogue that lands with the thud of a computer instruction manual, as well as clumsy and quite simply pathetic directing, and you are left with a film that sinks to the ocean floor. A one star film at best and it was lucky to get that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly Dire, 23 Dec 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Speed 2 - Cruise Control [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
From the moment the ship leaves port, anything smacking of plasuibility is thrown overboard. An example is our hero swimming through the bilges of the ship, where one would expect him to have to endure dark, dirty, stomach churning conditions. Instead, the water is crystal clear and brightly lit. This sums up the anti-septic nature of the action of this film, which never gets anywhere near emulating the pain and suffering the hero has to endure in, say "Die Hard". It's as if the director and his cast gave up on the idea of creating a suspense thriller and instead thought they'd have a go at picking up where "Carry On Cruising" left off - they failed here too. Final confirmation for me that they'd lost the plot came when our hero turns the ship by manually operating the ship's bow thrusters. The ship must weigh in at 20,000 tons minimum - Somehow I think Schwarzenegger would even have met his match here.

Not much else to say except watch out for UB40 as the ship's band - funny, haven't heard much from them lately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Speed - more like stopped!, 11 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Possibly the worst film I have ever seen, it is full of impossibly stupid situations. The fact that the title refers to a more-than fast-paced situation, you would expect some action. But no. All you get is an annoyingly monotonous two hours of boredom. Sandra Bullock is especially disappointing considering her fiesty role in the original blockbuster. Jason Patrick is fairly likeable, but Bullock is irritatingly shrill to the extreme. My advice is to look elsewhere, as Jan De Bont here has delivered a poor movie on a not-too-exciting disc.
