Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

After watching this movie, I feel like this is precisely what the future of the internet and the year 2017 is like. People that are obsessed with the past, can't take a joke and are being sheltered their who lives. And yet, we have two figures from the past, one who feels like he doesn't belong in the new world because of so many restrictions that will rob people of their free-will and individuality for safety and security and with no way of defending themselves. The other, who was being given newer abilities to preserve the past filled with violence and anarchy, but is out-of- control that the handler, himself can not handle the situation anymore and easily became the victim of his own foul play. While I did enjoy watching Wesley Snipes' performance, I feel as though he's been taking notes from Caesar Romero's performance as the Joker from the 1960's Adam West Batman TV series. But yeah, the acting is alright, but there was actually a lot of charm coming from Denis Leary as Edgar Friendly and Sandra Bullock as Lt. Huxley.Overall, I'd say this movie is worth a shot watching on TV or online.8 out of 10

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.

Demolition Man is a great movie to just pop in and unplug from the world. This movie in my opinion has a great mixture of action and comedy, sprinkled with some Sci-Fi. If you are unfamiliar with Demotion Man the summary of this movie is as follows; Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla his directorial debut, and starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.Stallone is perfect in his role as the tough 'old fashioned' cop who is released from Cryosleep to help the new SAPD. A blonde Wesly Snipes is also brilliant in his role as the heartless criminal Simon Phoenix who starts a meaningless rampage through the city. Originally Stallone wanted Jackie Chan to play this role, however he turned it down as he did not like playing bad guys.However both stars work very well together, producing some very exciting fight scenes, Snipes being a black belt, and Stallone's experience from the Rocky films helping them. In fact Wesley Snipes was so fast on camera that the producers had to ask him to slow down as he was too much of a blurr. Of course, lets not forget Sandra Bullock who replaced Lori Petty after a few days filming, and is very well suited to her role as Lenina Huxley, and helped to bring that vital mixture of comedy into the film with her studies of the past. Both her and Stallone work well on-screen together with the scene in her apartment being a great laugh.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
