Speed: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Speed should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Watched Speed so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Speed has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Hot Take: Speed's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Speed performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Speed is the most overrated film of the decade

Look, I wanted to love Speed. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Speed?

Just got out of Speed and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
