Demolition Man Reviews
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.

Chock-full of obnoxious dialogue, terrible acting, and oh-so-clever product placement.
| Original Score: 2/5
Nearly all the SF premises are accorded the status of Andrew Dice Clay one-liners -- which means that they, along with the characters, keep changing from one scene to the next.
Demolition Man is sleek and empty as well as brutal and pointless. It feels computer engineered, untouched by human hands. A real pod movie.
Ultimately the script's often sharp social satire is drowned out by the noise and confusion. It is also undercut by casting virtually all the psychopathically murderous criminals as minority-group members.

...a sporadically amusing yet pervasively underwhelming bit of early '90s cheese...

Demolition Man is like that old joke about a bad restaurant: the food is awful... and such small portions.

Let me say, the view of Utopia is nice and all, but it's not nearly negative enough.

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.

Stallone and Snipes are a great double-act

Not for nothing does the film open on a screen-filling image of the Hollywood sign in flames, for it torches almost every supposition that a film made to showcase Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes whomping on each other can only be brain-dead.

Not a bad mid-90s sci fi flick - and with a young Sandra Bullock in spandex to boot!

Groucho Reviews
Doesn't quite go far enough, instead settling for cheap gags and cheap thrills, but it tickles fairly well for a couple of hours of crashes and fireballs. [Blu-ray]

Stallone is surprisingly good in this fast, funny and violent futuristic action film.

Empire Magazine
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.
