C (Indifferent).

A ragtag band of scrappy meteorologists chases tornados.

The romance (aka most of the actual plot) is awful. We barely know anything about the story of these two people; they don't even hint at why they were separated in the first place. Meanwhile, why are we spending time building up a story thread of a rival scientist? It doesn't go anywhere - and if it did, it would be even worse, because I really do not care about it. Also, why is it almost never stormy in this show more movie???

(Aug. 2024) show less

The action and special effects had me on the edge of my seat. I was completely drawn into the intensity of the storm-chasing scenes, and the characters made the story feel real and exciting. A thrilling ride from start to finish; definitely a favorite!

Speed is a great entertaining film, Speed 2 isn't! - terrible plot and acting and basically boring - no wonder Keanu Reeves said no and Sandra Bullock must have needed the money.

Overall a fairly fun horror flick, even if it's a bit dated nowadays.
