Speed 2 - Cruise Control Reviews
Baltimore Sun
Action heroes are best when they are charming, winsome and witty. Bullock is inane, annoying and whiny.

Speed cost something like $30 million; this sequel cost four times as much. So why is it such a feeble, aimless piece of junk in comparison?
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
It droned, it rumbled and it just wouldn't stop.

Top CriticSpeed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made.

| Original Score: 1.5/4
Speed 2 is frantic action, tinny dialogue, perfunctory characterization and tried-and-false plot pilferings.
What a reeking bag of nothingness! What emptiness, what vaporous vapidity! What rot, stink, and whiff of mold spore!
Do yourself a favor and see a movie instead.

Se 'Twister' era um insulto, 'Velocidade Máxima 2' é uma tentativa de homicídio.

Sixty minutes of poorly photographed rescue attempts sum up the substance of the movie.

When some people talk about how much they loathed 1997's Big Boat Movie, I think they must mean this one.
| Original Score: F
A waterlogged sequel that'll soon be bottom-feeding with Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.
| Original Score: 1.5/4
It's a complete lack of story that explains why this expensive production from the proficient creator of Speed and Twister sputters out on the high seas.
