August 18, 2011Mother of god who makes this shit, I would expect this crap from a Adam Sandler film, but Sandra Bullock?

May 11, 2011Sequel to the awesome Speed, Speed 2 is a terrible film with bad acting, and rehashed ideas. Willem Dafoe is trying his best to prevent this film into sinking, but not even his awesome performance can save this mediocre sequel from crashing. This film seems sloppily made, with p... read more

August 15, 2009Speed 2 is pretty much just another solid action movie with nothing spectacular. All the actors and actresses do a good job in the acting and the plot is good, but when you compare it to the first Speed, which was one of the best action movies of the decade, Speed 2 is NOTHING.

June 5, 2009A big, loud, disappointing sequel that wastes the talent of everyone involved in a cruise ship. Director Jan De Bont still pours energy into the effects, but the story and performances lack that polish and care.

November 15, 2008This one I kind of got stuck watching at my mother's house, otherwise no way I would have bothered with it.

Emanuel Levy, Variety
Speed 2 suffers from a slender script, a tedious first reel and a routine villain who lacks the entertaining menace that Speed's diabolical madman projected. Full Review

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Speed 2 doesn't have much in mind besides convincing an audience that a runaway ocean liner is a dynamic menace. Fine, but it doesn't beat a runaway bus. Full Review

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Even the film's big-ticket closing stunts are more impressive for their size than for any excitement they generate. Full Review

They keep getting worse and worse and worse . . . Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Movies like this embrace goofiness with an almost sensual pleasure. And so, on a warm summer evening, do I. Full Review

Charles Taylor, Salon.com
I hope that somewhere Keanu Reeves is laughing about being considered a nonactor while the wax dummy Jason Patric has somehow achieved a rep as intense and gifted. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
A waterlogged sequel that'll soon be bottom-feeding with Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made. Full Review
