Reviews for Demolition Man
An inspired mix of high-octane action and futuristic satire.
04/30/08
With Snipes giving his role everything he's got -- a considerable amount by any measure -- and with some amusing bits tying together the action scenes, there is plenty of eye candy at work here, which should satisfy action fans.

Basically, Demolition Man is a futuristic cop picture with slightly more imagination and wit than the typical example of the slash-and-burn genre.

Enjoyable pop-culture junk actioner.

Not a bad mid-90s sci fi flick - and with a young Sandra Bullock in spandex to boot!
08/12/05
If you don't really think about it, [it] isn't a bad ride.

Featuring intense action, exceptional special effects, and a healthy sense of humor, it is the film Last Action Hero wanted--and failed--to be.
01/02/04
This futuristic comedy depends on your opinion of Stallone and his unapologetic popcorn-pleasing action no-brainers. To be fair, this one is one of his better ones.
04/30/08
A great villain goes a long way toward making an action movie successful and Snipes certainly does more than his share to make this an enjoyable film.

cool as ice

Demolition Man is a significant artifact of our time or, at least, of this week.
05/20/03
A noisy, soulless, self-conscious pastiche that mixes elements of sci-fi, action-adventure and romance, then pours on a layer of comedy replete with Hollywood in-jokes.
04/30/08
Top CriticIn the end, that's all this film is: flames, flying bullets, and special effects. It could be worse, I suppose, but as long as people go into this film with their eyes open, there shouldn't be any surprises.
