A disgruntled former employee hijacks the Seabourn Legend cruise liner.

Movies like this embrace goofiness with an almost sensual pleasure. - 50
The New York Times
Despite huge resources at Mr. De Bont's disposal and the fact that both he and Ms. Bullock have achieved stellar status since ''Speed'' screeched onto movie screens, the sequel is still a B-movie at heart. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Not nearly as clever at taxing the audience's knuckles as its forerunner, Speed 2 still manages to stay above board long enough to merit a look-see, if only to relish the once-in-a-lifetime pleasure of Mr. Dafoe and his pet leeches. - 38
ReelViews
Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made. - 25

This is my idea of a nightmare. - 25
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
And De Bont's effects are wildly over the top, devoid of the stylish cuts and intriguing angles that enriched the original. In fact, there's so little panache in his destructive action that it begins to seem like a weird act of self-destruction. - 10
Washington Post
The 1994 "Speed," which starred Bullock and Keanu Reeves, was hardly "King Lear" on a bus, but it was an entertaining ride. But this movie is nothing but pain to sit through. - 0
Salon
Speed 2 is such an inept piece of direction that it's anybody's guess whether De Bont understands how to convey where two characters are in spatial relation to each other or in relation to the action.
