Watch Demolition Man For Free

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Don't Believe the Hype

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sly Stallone stars here as John Spartan, a hard-charging, take-no-prisoners cop in 1996 who apprehends master criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), only to be charged with manslaughter when it's believed that Spartans' actions caused the death of about 30 hostages. Both men are sent into cryogenic imprisonment, only to be both thawed out 36 years later.The films' biggest joke is that the "San Angeles" of 2032 is a lame, wimpy environment in which cops are basically pretty useless. There is supposedly only crime of the minor variety, all forms of violence have ceased, and everybody is on their best behaviour. Example: almost every time a person uses profanity, they are fined by a machine that spits out paper copies. And Taco Bell was the only fast food restaurant to survive the "Franchise Wars", so every restaurant is a Taco Bell.Sly fits his determined hero role like a glove, but it's the theatrical Snipes that tends to take dominance. Since films like this often depend on the entertainment value of their villain, "Demolition Man" doesn't disappoint in that regard. The eclectic cast includes Sandra Bullock, as a 21st century cop obsessed with the past, and love interest for our good guy, Nigel Hawthorne, as the dictator who presides over this future world, Denis Leary, as a revolutionary, Glenn Shadix, as a snivelling toady, and Bob Gunton, as the police chief, as well as Benjamin Bratt, Bill Cobbs, Troy Evans, Andre Gregory, Jesse Ventura (briefly seen, in a non-speaking part), Steve Kahan, Grand L. Bush, an uncredited Rob Schneider, and a hard-to-spot Jack Black.Directed with flair by Marco Brambilla, the movie is no great shakes, but it is fun. Its strongest asset is its dose of social satire, which may not be quite as sharp in the also-futuristic "RoboCop", but still elicits some very amused chuckles. There's plenty of in-your-face, violent action, and some very effective production design by David L. Snyder. The climax is pleasingly over the top.Some of the best laughs are classic fish-out-of-water stuff with Sly struggling to come to terms with this dorky new metropolis of the 21st century.Seven out of 10.

I cannot understand why this movie gets such a bad overall rating. From my point of view, the movie is both entertaining and interesting. Beside Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes did great with both their characters and action in the movie. Plus the story for the movie is very good.I call this Sandra Bullock's one good movie, I can't even see how she kept a straight face while talking her character's mistakes in simple sayings. That part was just hilarious.I have to say the future technology doesn't look like it's going to make the year they had for the movie, but that isn't any big deal. The movie is very entertaining; full of action scenes, and even some humidity. Just watch it, and I'll bet you will like it.

Demolition Man is an action classic. Great characters, and actors that fit them perfectly, good sets and futuristic scenery, hilarious dialogue all throughout (as per my title), great interesting plot with very few holes, and never a boring moment. Plenty of action, violence, laughs, and even romance. Stallone and Snipes are great as cop-villain enemies. Haven't watched this in many years but gave it a view tonight and thought it was well worth a review. Few movies do I have no complaints about, and this is one of them. Excellent film.

In the ideal 21th century utopia society of the future, an old fashioned criminal, Simon Phoenix from the violent 1990s (Wesley Snipes) was released from cryo-prison, and start reigning havoc on the peaceful, yet simple-minded citizens of San Angeles. Unable to stop the bloodshed, the police force of San Angeles defrosts ex-cop, John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) to stop him. Can John Spartan adapt to the changing times, and lay down the law on Phoenix before it's too late or will Phoenix lay San Angeles in ruins with his chaotic ways? Watch the movie to find out! Without spoiling the film directed by Marco Brambilla, too much, while, this trailer might seem like a dumb action movie dick flick. In truth, it was much smarter than it seems. After all, it was supposedly deeply influence by two great novels: author Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel, 'Brave New World' & author Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Cat Cradle' that it influence the naming of characters & visuals in this film. While, the movie's story is nowhere as good as those novels. It did told a wonderful satire fish out of water story about what would happen, if PC culture was to run unchecked & anything that seem bad for you is illegal. It made for an interesting watch, even if, Hungarian science fiction writer István Nemere says that movie plagiarism, his novel, 1986's 'Fight of the Dead'; which it could had. Although, the exposition on why John Spartan is sentence for cryo-prison still doesn't any sense; seeing how Phoenix is the one that did the crime. Still, most of the jokes about the clash of culture between Spartan and the folks of San Angeles, throughout the film, landed for me. I love the running gags throughout the film, such as the three seashells or the Verbal Morality Statute machine. Because of this, it made for a lot funnier satire version of the future than 2006's 'Idiocracy'. However, I don't think, the film did a good job at satirical, the machismo action film genre that well. For a film that call 'Demolition Man', you would think, that movie would be, full of over the top explosions. Yet, surprising, the movie rarely used it, besides the beginning. Also, most of the action, throughout the film is pretty grounded with reality in Sci-Fi settling. It wasn't that silly. At parts, it was kinda intense, like the car chase or the battle at the cryo lab. I think, the problem with the movie, came from the fact that 'Demolition Man' doesn't mock any of its tropes. If anything, it seem to me, that mocking part of the story seem abandoned after Spartan is frozen. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the film is still full of 1990s action movie's clichés, such as the angry police chief, villains having lousy aim, saving the world rewards you, a love-interest, and the main character fighting the main villain, alone without much help, however, none of them, seem that, much like satire. I never got the idea, that it was mocking itself, like other Sci-Fi action movies, were, like 1997's 'Starship Troopers'. The same, goes with the odd choice of produce placement, the film was going for. It seems like they were trying to mock, the idea that a fast food place like Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, would be the only remaining restaurant in the world. However, in my opinion, they didn't really delivered on the joke. Instead, the blatant insert of Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, felt jarring and out of place; comparing to what we know, of the world. After all, isn't spicy food, meat, and caffeine, illegal in the future!? So, how in the hell, did Taco Bell/Pizza Hut won the franchise wars? If anything, Subway or Panera Beard, should be, the main restaurant, everybody goes to. However, that wasn't the only thing, wrong about this film. Despite the wonderful visuals and costumes, I also had a hard time, believing the timeline. The movie was made in 1993. So, we're expected to believe that in three years, crime has gone totally to hell in LA, and then go pacifism after the 36 years, time different. It seem a bit out there, even if there was a nuclear war; my bad, 'great earthquake' in 2010. It took 'Star Trek', 100 years to create a near-like utopia. Even with that, they still knew about weapons and violence. It's a bit weird to see the older members of San Angeles society, not know much of Spartan's ways of getting things done; when in truth, they also lived through, most of it. Are they really that ignorant to violence? After all, they seem to know, a lot, when indoctrinating Phoenix's rehab program. It makes no sense. Despite that, Snipes was great in the action scenes. While, Snipes's martial arts kinda look slow and awkward in some scenes. In truth, it was because his kicks and punches were so fast that they blurred on camera. Hence, why the producers asked him to slow them down. Snipes was also great in acting. He really did seem like a maniac. He had some of the best one-liners. Stallone was also wonderful, both physically and verbally even if some of his lines were slurred. A young and gorgeous Sandra Bullock as Lenina Huxley was also great, as she was really charming. Even Denis Leary as himself as Edgar Friendly was fine. I had no problems with most of the acting, in this film, even if most of the actors didn't get along with each other, backstage. However, I did find the unneeded nudity from Penthouse model, Brandy Ledford, a bit, out of place. It really didn't add anything to the plot. She could had been cut, along with the others minor scenes that editor, Stuart Baird, greatly took away. Overall: 'Demolition Man' is a blast. Like Simon, I say, go check it out! Anybody that says, otherwise, can wipe the crap from their mouths with the three seashells.
