TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jul 27 Speed 2: Cruise Control is a sequel that struggles to capture the excitement and intensity of the original. As someone who loves Sandra Bullock and her work, I wanted to enjoy this movie more, but it is definitely one of her weaker films. It is not a terrible movie, but it never reaches the level of the blockbuster that came before it. Sandra Bullock delivers a strong performance as always, bringing her charm and energy to the role, while William Dafoe gives a memorable and committed performance as the villain. The biggest issue is the screenplay, especially the decision to move the action from a bus to a cruise ship. While the concept had potential, it never created the same urgency or suspense. The story feels more like a separate action movie rather than a true continuation of the first film. Overall, Speed 2: Cruise Control has some entertaining moments and solid performances, but it misses the impact and excitement that made the original so special.

See more Karl S @Rohirim Feb 22 Much better than most people think. It doesn't do much to better the first movie. But as a standalone movie it's downright fun. See more DAVE F @BLUEY1763 Jan 30 Not quite as good as the origonalbut still entertaining. I loved the last 30 minutes when the ship was plowing its way through town taking out everything in its path after passengers realized what was happpening all they could say was "SHIT" And the little dog in the guys convertible. He comes out after the ship comes to rest against the clock tower and the anchor falls on his car. I'm so glad the little dog was O.K.

Willem Dafoe's villain should redeem everything but he's hardly in it because the screenplay's drunk. I blame the writers more than anyone else, so many of the film's problems stem from the script's core inadequacies. Director Jan De Bont was contractually obligated to make a sequel despite not wanting to, yet he still turns a film that at least looks the part with some big explosions and ridiculous stunts, while composer Mark Mancina delivers a score way better than it had any right to be. The complete lack of urgency is what ultimately sinks Speed 2, it leans heavily on large-scale destruction but even these moments feel more excessive than suspenseful, never delivering the thrill promised by its name.
