      David Ansen Newsweek Demolition Man is a movie that should have been fun, and isn't. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine 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. Jul 25, 2010 Full Review Elisa Guimarães Collider Still, dialogue-wise, the screenplay of Demolition Man is quite a thing to behold. The movie is full of extremely quotable one-liners and absurd exchanges that are made all the funnier by its performances... Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof An essential action comedy with unforgettable performances from Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It starts with explosions, gunfire, characters smashing through windows, careening down staircases, and lunging through five foot flames - all before the opening credits roll. Rated: 9/10 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jason M This is a fantastic movie and has been entertaining, even now. It does draw interesting parallels to current year 2024 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Alec B Its great that the dystopian elements are played mostly for laughs as it helps distinguish the movie among these types of thrillers and makes the commentary more palatable. Stallone is fine (he's just very Stallone but he isn't asked for too much by the script thankfully) but Snipes is incredible, giving exactly the right kind of energy for the villain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Daniel C. M Really enjoyed the satire on this one, Stallone's character and the villain also have a perfect chemistry. Though this movie does not deserve to be 2 hours long and it's script fails hard some few times. I still wish for a prequel about the Demolition Man's previous adventures before he was frozen. A Die Hard-esque movie about that mall kidnapping case could be perfect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Benjamin L A forgetable action flick. It doesn't "predict" nearly as much as many people say it does. It has forgetable characters, a convoluted plot alongside a setting which frankly doesn't make much sense. The fight scenes, Stalone's quips and the villain carry the movie on their back. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review ERNIE A Who new in 93 they would nail the current social atmosphere. I love Stallone and all his movies. This is one of my favorites. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Marcus E In 2024 this is excellent. I won't spoil it, but this movie hit on some things and I was thoroughly entertained. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
