content: I loved the first Speed. I gave Speed ****1/2. But then I rented Speed 2 and I was so disappointed. I love Sandra Bullock espesially in the character of Angela Benett. The Angela in the first Speed. The character plain leads to a whiny know-it-all character. Sandra dows the best she can but the character will be never more. Also, Jason Patrick's character is plain horrible. He doesn't have the right stuff that Keanu had in the first movie. The villian is plain stupid. He didn't have the right stuff that the villian in the first movie had. Oh, I wish that Speed 2 would have some kind of connection to the first movie than just Sandra. I also found the movie being very boring. The movie wasn't as fast-paced as the first movie and you didn't wish that they would all be ok like in the first one. The special-effects were ok but the ending was so disappointing like all the other stuff in this lame and over packed sequel. I plain give this poor movie *.
