Sandra Bullock reprises her role as Annie Porter in Speed 2: Cruise Control. She has, apparently, dumped Jack because he was a risk taker. If they were looking for a way to explain Keanu's absence in this sequel, they really could have done better. Especially since her new boyfriend is even more extreme than Jack.
Speed was an excellent action film, with some nice acting and a great plot to boot. Speed 2 makes an excellent attempt at a follow-up, but with plot problems like the above and acting that is, from everyone but Sandra Bullock, not nearly on the level of Speed, it just doesn't have the appeal of the original.
After the excellence of the Speed, Speed 2 is a real disappointment. Oh, its still a good film in its own right, but when compared to the first it really is just a drab copy. While there is a good amount of humor, many of the jokes are just restatements of the jokes from the original. Much like the entire plot, which is largely the same, except that they use a boat this time instead of a bus. There ARE other things that the word "Speed" could suggest, guys.
Like I said, though, it is still a good film. It just falls short of the original, despite the fact that it is very obvious that everyone was trying their best. Speed was a sort of miracle combination of acting, plot, and stunts that just doesn't happen twice, but Speed 2 does a good job trying. Watch it.
