ThiefHott Too much of everything
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
mrossman-89850 This was a pretty good movie. Enjoyed the pinball machine, so I wanted to see the movie. When I first saw what the "future" was, I thought it was stupid and corny, but it definitely got better. There were some genuinely funny moments. I don't think it was as bad as people say it is.
Darth-Helmet In 1996, a terrorist named Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) has been causing mayhem in L.A. until a renegade police officer named John Spartan (Slyvester Stallone) captures him but Spartan is framed for a crime he didn't commit during duty as both are convicted and suspended in cyrogenetic freezing suspension animation for a long time as Spartan has been sentenced for a long time, in the year 2032 36 years later, Los Angeles has changed into San Angeles which is a fusion of San Diego, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles is now ran by Dr Raymond Cocteau (Nigel Hathrowne) with his associate Bob (Glen Shaddix). The City has become a peaceful brainwashed loving society of people where things like chocolate/meat/pregnancy without a license/bad language (there's even machines where people are fine credits instead of money for using a swear word in public or anywhere)/gasoline and other stuff is banned and Taco Bell becomes the main restaurant for the city as it owns other restaurants. Simon has been unfrozen as he is on the loosing robbing and murdering others even stealing guns from a museum of violence. Chief George Earl (Bob Gunton from Shawshank Redemption) has worried about this as the police don't know how to handle this kind of violence which the cops have become non-violent, Lt. Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock) who is nostalgic about the 20th century along with Zachery Lamb (Bill Cops) whom he was once a pilot for Spartan comes up with an idea to thaw out Spartan from his suspended animation slumber then thaw him out to help take care of this maniac. Spartan has awaken to find everything is different as he is trying to adjust to this new life he has now, there's also a radical group of rebels who live in an underground city called the Scraps lead by Edgar Friendly (Denise Leary) who believes in freedom of choice/speech as he wants to take down Cocteau once and for all but there is also something behind Cocteau unlike the citizens of San Angeles thinks he is.A very entertaining, well paced, action packed and fun Science Fiction action satire that is basically like the story of Brave New World with a hint of Blade Runner and Orwell's 1984 with a satire on what would it be like if the future went politically correct and if Taco Bell owned every restaurant. Originally Jean Claude Van-Demme and Jackie Chan were considered for the role of Simon Phoenix but the role went to Wesley Snipes, which i am very happy he took the role and this is my second fave role of his after Blade and nice to see him play a bad guy than a good guy like usual. Simon Phoenix with his dyed yellow hair and 90s jumpsuit reminds me of Duke Nukem only black and has mismatched colored eyes one blue and one hazel which was used by contact lenses. Stallone is fantastic as John Spartan whom is one of the most badass sci-fi characters around who is trying to fit in this watered down PCed society where real music is gone only underground when commercials are used for music even TV show themes are used for music plus when Cocteau thinks his Utopia is paradise and heaven when it's actually more like hell if you ask me. There's also a thing where people use 3 seashells instead of toilet paper, look online to see how the 3 seashells work.The movie is still relevant with the way things are going nowadays in the SJW/PC culture and is almost like a warning and statement. Plus the action is bold and thrilling, the future is well designed even the costumes and nice use of some practical effects with some interesting ideas/satire thrown in even about a commercialized future going PC and the dangers of it when freedom is needed. A must see.
LeonLouisRicci Slightly Underrated Action/Satire that keeps from Being the Kind of Cheese that Stinks. It's got a Semi-Witty Script Full of One-Liners that Mostly Work and gives the Movie a Fun-Watch while Intellectualizing, ala Huxley's "Brave New World".Wesley Snipes goes Way Over-the-Top with His Manic Portrayal, but Dam if it doesn't Work, (this reviewer is fined one credit for inappropriate language) and His Martial Arts Skills are on Display along side the Big Blow Stuff Up Action. Stallone basically Plays His On-Screen Persona of Kick-Ass and be Snarky. Again it Works.Sandra Bullock, in an Early Role, is as Good as She can be with a Humanizing Character among the De-Humanized Population. Dennis Leary in a Small but Effective Part, in His Motor-Mouth Mode also is of Interest.This Film Succeeds where so many others of its Ilk Fail. The Production is Sharp and it Never Takes Itself Seriously and in Doing So, may have Delivered one of the Better Movies of its Type to come out of the Nineties.
adonis98-743-186503 Demolition Man has Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone fight each other after they have come out of a chryo-generic storage hundreds of years into the future. This movie has Pizza Hut, Rat Burgers and a joke about Schwarzenegger being a President and having his own Schwarzenegger Library. Also this film is the definition of 90's Pop Corn action movies is it cheesy? yes it supposed to be you know and it succeeds on that level i mean common in the future we don't even touch our wives we just make love with them in our heads i know right it's cheesy but does anyone else remember Last Action Hero another great 1993 movie where Stallone was supposed to be The Terminator? LOL 1993 was indeed a great year.
