The script for this movie is so bad, it's terrifying. The corny "high-fives" place this movie right into the bad B-movie category and is the reason why Stallone's movie career ended. Oh, it's painful. Even watching Snipes is painful. The dialogue is awful, makes little sense or logic, has zero in the way of originality and is just another "bad guy escapes and hero needs to be brought in to save the day" film. This isn't really sci-fi, just a bad flick. Not even worth a rental.

This film's depiction of what society may become always struck a chord with me. The extreme side of PC culture is something growing at this very moment and it was amazing to see this idea conveyed so well for the time of it's release in 1993. The casting was perfect, Snipes was a great villain and to me Sandra Bullock stole the show with her jovial demeanor and comic relief as Stallone's partner. The advanced tech seemed very realistic for the time and the story itself was very original. The action scenes and stunt work were very big budget with nothing held back. Hand to hand, gunfights, car chases, explosions and one liners, this movie has it all so I was surprised by the sort of low rating the critics gave it. Definitely a solid 7.5/10.

With China rolling out a social credit system and western countries addicted to social media and generally unaware of the unbending corporate "big brother" over reach into peoples lives the movie is very timely for the "current year". With the rise of fascistic progressives in politics and an engineered outrage culture and political correctness followed by groups like Antifa the film is scary in its predictions and is elevated to a real classic. In short the communists are back and this film is a much more light hearted and fun take. Not to mention campy and fun performances.

I saw this movie when I was a wee lad and me and my friends still quote it and make references to it. Like the 3 sea shells, 187 murder death kill, Simon says bleed! We're police officers. Were not trained to handle this kind of violence. There's so many greats that I could go all day. Stallone is good in this, but Wesley Snipes is unforgettable. One of the best villains ever. Let's not forget a young Sandra Bullock. This movie was awesome back in the day. Guess what? It's still awesome in this day.

This film is phenomenal! Funny, action packed and in some ways has almost proved prophetic (check reference to Arnie Presidential library, a terrifying possibility which is looking almost possible!! Bear in mind that this movie was made well before Arnie was heavily involved in politics)! Wesley Snipes is at his hottest in this movie as the evil Simon Phoenix and Stallone is amazing as the "troubled past gunslinger" Spartan. When you factor in a cute and funny Sandra Bullock and Nigel Hawthorne as a fascist dictator, it is hard to see how this movie could have been any better. Also the vision of the future provided is both insightful and believable. Ending is a bit corny and "hollywood" but really I think that such a minor flaw is balanced out by the sheer entertainment value of the rest of the film. A brilliant Sci-Fi, much overlooked.

The people who made this movie must have had a crystal ball, but it is depressingly accurate as to the direction we are headed in. The cast is very good, the story manages to convey a highly important message without being too preachy about it, and the fact that this movie is now 26 years old and it still holds up speaks volumes. If you have not seen this, you should fix that.

A Society without physical contact, caused by fear of diseases. Survailiance on everybody. And punishments for non political correct words and language .. Welcome to 2021.

Boy, Sylvester Stallone made a lot of money for awhile there making some dumb action-packed films...but, generally-speaking, they were fun to watch so I guess he himself is no dummy. The dialog is the movie is dumb, I can tell you that. There are also precious few nice characters to root for, including the annoying Sandra Bullock, an actress who consistently made stupid movies herself. In here, witness the typical: Stallone showing of his body; Snipes being the fast- talking profane "hip" bad guy and Bullock, who only knows how to say OMG and nothing else. There are some nice special-effects in here making it pretty high-tech in spots. Too bad writing is so low-tech.

Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone) is a tough cop for a tough age and Simon Pheonix (Snipes) is a nasty and violent criminal. When Stallone finally catches his man, he is found guilty of killing a group of innocent civilians at the same time; and they are both given sentences in the new cryo-prison. When Simon Pheonix escapes into a new world in the year 2032, the police have no way of dealing with such a vicious arch-criminal so they re-animate John Sparton, and so it begins. I simply love the way the future is portrayed in this film, it is a wonderfully satirical crime free environment where the humans have become ultra-placid geeks under the new regime. Sandra Bullock and Nigel Hawthorne are the two main police-persons that we see and they are brilliantly funny in their performances. Demolition man is as funny as it is action packed and although it's pretty shallow, it is still great fun to watch. 7/10
