Speed 2: Cruise Control
Hold on to your life-jacket as the rip roaring sequel to Speed hits the high seas. Sandra Bullock reprises her star-making role as Annie Porter, a young woman expecting to enjoy a Caribbean vacation with her boyfriend (Patric) on board the world's most luxurious cruise liner. But their trip to paradise turns deadly when a lunatic computer genius (Dafoe) takes over the boat and sets it on a course for destruction. An explosive voyage helmed by daredevil director Jan De Bont, Speed 2: Cruise Control rides the wild waves at maximum velocity.

Speed 2 is definitely worth seeing, although it doesn't even come close to the original Speed. The story line is kind of cheesey, and much of the dialogue isn't great, but the action is fairly good. If you were a fan of Speed, then you should see this. Overall, it's a good movie to watch when you don't feel like thinking too hard.Fun; But Does Not Have The Magic Of The Original... - Zoodles
Speed 2 is worth a rental if you are a fan of Sandra Bullock. If you are a big fan of the original though you may be a bit disappointed.
Sequels are tricky things. Some are great and rival (or are even better than) the original. Others though lose something along the way. Speed 2 suffers a bit of this.
Speed 2 is not a bad movie by any stretch of the imaginiation. It certainly is a fun flick; but whereas Speed is memorable Speed 2 is a movie that you will see and probably never reference it in a conversation with anyone or feel a compulsion to seek it out for a rental or purchase.
There are some thrills in this movie. The lead actors do a good job and the caribbean locales are beautiful to look at (although distrubing to seem some of the destruction even if it is staged).
Speed 2 is not classic. It is however worth a rental and is better (to me) than some of Bullock's other thillers (The Net for instance).
Speed 2 is a fun movie, just don't expect the same magic and experience as the first movie.Sandra Fan - Tinkerbe11
Well as I am a big Sandra fan, I liked the movie. VERY cheesy, and not in the least believable, but she is just enjoyable to watch. You had to love the 7 knots... 6 knots.... 0 knots...LMFAO I mean really come on. But if you love Sandra as much as I do, you will sit back enjoy some popcorn and judge for yourself.
