Well it does move very speedy for the most part.

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2005)

I liked this movie for the most part, fast, good music, and I like Keanu Reeves, Jeff Daniels and Dennis Hopper. It has a pretty good plot and the action is excellent. My only complaint is that there is way to much Sandra Bullock in the movie and not enough Jeff Daniels. Hopper and Reeves are in it perfectly. This is only an issue for me though cause if you like Bullock you will not mind her as much, as for me I do not care for her and I definitely was not going to see Speed 2 with her being the lead character. Here we have a guy trying to secure some funds by holding an elevator full of people hostage. His plans are foiled by to plucky members of the police force and he is seemingly killed. However, this turns out not to be the case as our mad bomber is still at large and he rigs a bus to explode if the bus goes under 55 mph hence the title of the movie. Granted, it is a stupid way to try and hold people ransom because if Reeves' character does not get to the bus on time it would have simply exploded, but hey it is just a movie. Lots of action ensues and a bit to much whiny Bullock for my tastes, but I roll with it. Great finishing fight on top of a train, however the scene with the runaway train seems just to much at this point and really is not necessary, we have already by this time put the characters through to much.
