20 years old and still thrilling film!

Speed is one of my favorite action movies of all time, just a notch below contemporaries like Terminator 2 and Die Hard. The premise is so simple that it's almost a parody of movie pitches (Homer Simpson's line was "I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down'."). Fortunately this film came to be much better than the sum of its parts, and it's deservedly remembered as one of the most entertaining films of the 90s.

Very annoying and stupid characters

I've not not seen this since it first came out and I was surprised and delighted at how well it stands up today. A great action thriller with a sprinkling of 90's cheese. Loved watching it again and would recommend.

Turns out this is actually a real fun movie. I liked it as a kid but growing I started to remember it as a bad film but rewatching it now I'm having a blast.
