I feel the need, the need....to get everyone off the bus!
Advantages: Easy to watch, acting, FX
Disadvantages: Nothing really, perhaps a little dated
If Speed was to be released now, it would be considered a bit behind the times an the special effects would be considered a bit run of the mill. The plot would be average and predictable, and the excitement factor would be softened by the general presentation. However, when it came out in 1994, it was hailed as a huge blockbuster, with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock heading the billing in the middle of a good run on both their careers. And with ...
...so, it works perfectly.
Speed is available to buy from amazon.co.uk for £4.88. It's well worth giving a go if you catch it on TV or buy the DVD. An easy to watch film that I happily recommend. It's nothing special in many ways, but definitely one I'd be happy to watch whenever it's on. ...

Speed 2 Out of Control
Advantages: some okay action sequences
Disadvantages: everything else
...you wanting more. It's sequel, Speed 2 Cruise Control, is terrible. The action sequences are limp, the adrenaline pumping moments of tension non-existent and the script appalling. Replacing Keanu Reeves from the first film is action man Jason Patric, who looks good on screen but is merely a cardboard cut out action man, in the vein of Jean Claude Van Damme, but much much worse. Reeves obviously had the sense to jump ship (excuse the pun!), but Sandra ...
...pressure, the cruise ship in Speed 2 is like a lead weight, you just can't create tension on a boat!! During the part of the film where the crew are desperately trying to stop the ship from hitting an oil tanker, it takes an age for the boat to reach the tanker, thus eliminating any sense of excitement. I was actually hoping they would crash, just to rid us of the extremely irritating Bullock, who's stupidity, rather then being cute like in the first ...

Not Stealthy enough, gets noticed for all the wrong reasons
Advantages: Great visuals
Disadvantages: Too many stpuid mistakes
This gets a 3/10 for the visuals only, the plot holes are dire. Basically this film takes ideas from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Short Circuit , Flight Of The Navigator & Firefox. If it looks like you've seen it before, it's because you have, at least twice and they all did it much better than this movie. Utter garbage, badly thought out with zero realism. Watch it for the visuals only! Basically its the story of how a plane with artificial intelligence ...
...Sounds like it should be great with a ton of action? Wrong! Action yes, but with a lot of basic mistakes that ruin it. 1st mistake, the refueling sequence. Having shot off the refuel probe & coated itself in av-fuel Eddie would have caught fire from its own bullets or it's engines. 2nd mistake, the ejection sequence. She ejected upside down. sorry, that's not gonna happen - ever. 3rd mistake, the ejection sequence again. She's falling at terminal ...

50mph Mayhem!
Advantages: Excellent first film
Disadvantages: Speed 2 is included. lack of special features
Speed 1 in my opinion is one of the greatest action movies of all time. speed 2 however tried to cash in on the first films sucess and failed horribly. The first speed movie follows the adventure of a cop who gets caught up with a mad mans atempt to become rich by using certain devalish plots. The main one of which being putting a bomb on a bus so that if it goes under 50mph thenit will expolode. if this sounds like a good plot in your eyes then ...
...worth your time at all. The god awfull film follows a ship as it is plotted a course to crash into an oil tanker by you typical evil genius. Its ones of the worst movies ever made.
If i were you i would buy speed 1 on its own as its cheaper and if your like me you would preffer to have just the 1 DVD in the box. ...

Who would have guessed a BUS
Advantages: Action, Violence, Police, High speeds, trickery, wit
Disadvantages: Minimum romance
Speed (Special Edition) (Two Discs) Gives the audience a more detailed version than the original 1994 release. The adrenaline pumping, heart pulsing adventure of a single SWAT cop and a female civillian as they try to save the lives of some 20 people on a public bus, from an ex-CIA phsycotic explosives expret, who wants the money he feels he should get from all the years of work he did. This movie is the base of what action adventure movies should ...
