Summary: Social Satire with a Bit of Nose-Tweaking
Review: "This is what the hell's wrong with society," this seems to be a popular column under which Daniel Waters writes his films. You could see it in HEATHERS. He also has a knack for writing larger than life yarns that make some fun of themselves, as is the case with BATMAN RETURNS (the best of the series, IMHO), and as is the case with DEOMLITION MAN, which he co-wrote.Everything in the Sylvester Stallone vehicle is over-the-top cheese, but it's meant to be that way. Essentially, there's the rugged Eighties hero cop that plays by only his rules and his rules alone: John Spartan (Stallone). His arch-nemesis is Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) who is the Joker, only "mo' fonkay," to Stallone's Batman. At the top of the movie, by outlandish consequences of the law (which is a Waters' commentary on the ludicrousness of judicial procedure), not one but both men are sentenced to a cryo-freeze incarceration where upon they are later thawed in . . . THE FUTURE, again a Waters-envisoned politically correct tan-color hell. Only, the hath-risen-again Phoenix is worse than he ever was--stronger, faster, able to nail Farrah Fawcett better than ever--and Stallone has been programmed to knit. Another comment on the prison system, if you're keeping note of comments. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Stallone finds himself treated as extraneous, in a world that more-or-less needs men like him, but doesn't quite yet know it. A great movie for Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon; Sandra Bullock, Nigel Hawthorne, Rob Schneider also star--Jesse the Governor of Minnesota Ventura and Bo Jackson make cameos. It's pure cheek, so don't take it too seriously.

Summary: An original but average film
Review: The movie could have been far better if Sly Stallone had not have played the starring role. Surely there were far better younger actors out there who could have contributed a better performance. Sandra Bullock and Wesley Snipes rescue the movie and take into the 'average and watch-able' category. If you see the movie look out for the comical part where Sly and Wesley Snipes have a punch-up. I get the impression that the director was trying to make it look like a Rocky Movie!

Summary: This movie has it all
Review: This is an outstanding package of humor, romance, and action. In between non-stop action sequences there is plenty of humor and stuff.I am here to prove FOR A FACT this movie rocks. Here are some prominent elements. 1. Most films are so concerned on special effects and rock'em sock'em acton sequences that they forget that humor is in HUMAN NATURE. WE LIKE IT!! 2. The plot is thick and could almost be a drama if there was no action. Most films just set things up from the beginning, explaining how the character must save the world, then our hero goes off, saves the world, and scores a chick. The plot gets better and better as I goes. Its a lot of fun. 3. The future. This idea of having a perfect society, where everyday thing now are illegal, and a character who is so in love with peace that he will resort to violence (Dr. Raymond Cocteau). All of this is just so original and enjoyable, that it leaves the sick, degraded future setting far behind. 4. How about that language machine. That's funny

Summary: Social satire at its best
Review: Yes, this is an action shoot em up Stallone action fest. But this movie containts some of the best, sharptest satire and pointed social criticism I've seen since "Network", albeit in a typically heavy handed Stallone manner. But no matter...it raises real questions about what a "safe" society would be like, and whether it's better to be free and live with risk, or be safe and live with emptiness. Look beyond the cheesy dialogue and graitiuous violence to a real interesting presentation of one of the central issues (liberty vs. safety) of our time. ps/One great bit of writing....Sandra Bullock's character is named Lenina Huxley....did you know that Aldous Huxley wrote the dystopian masterpiece "Brave New World" and that the lead female character was name Lenina? Clever.

Summary: BEAUTY AND THE CRYOCOP!!!!
Review: SANDRA'S SWEET INNOCENCE TAKES THE EDGE OFF THIS TOUGH GUY FILM. SHE IS TO SPARTIN WHAT ADERIAN WAS TO ROCKY. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE GREAT. SOME OF THE DIALOG LAGS AT TIMES BUT THE STRENGTH OF THE CHARACTERS CARRIES THIS ONE THROUGH. CHECK OUT THE END...WOW. I OWN THIS TITLE AND HAVE SEEN IT 60 TIMES. ONE QUESTION THOUGH. WHAT ARE THOSE THREE SEASHELLS ABOUT ANY WAY..A QUESTION FOR THE AGES. WORTH A SEQUAL? I THINK SO. GOOD FARE..JTS

Summary: Funny, explsion, action, dynamic.
Review: What else can I say about this wonderful album? I am a fan of Sylvester Stallone, but this review does not have anything to do with him. I love this one after Judge Dred because it is very funny and full of action and dynamic sound. Muscle bound charactor and pretty Sandra Bullock. I love it.

Summary: Awesome movie! A must-see!
Review: I really like this movie. The setting is not what you would expect for a movie that takes place in the future, especially for Los Angeles. Instead of a war-waged hell-hole (like in "Terminator" and "Terminator 2"), or a somewhat same-old city but with much more advanced technology, it is a peaceful, non-violent paradise but with a totalitarian lifestyle. For example, in the future, you can't eat chocolate or swear! Another good thing about this movie is that thought there is profanity, they don't abuse it like in "Pulp Fiction" where they say the "f" word so many times it loses its meaning. Also, Pheonix (Snipes) is funny at times throughout the movie. There are a few things in this movie that are not too realistic. For example, why would Cocktoe send a maniacal, psychotic killer (Snipes) to knock someone off instead of a more reliable Cryocon, namely Sparton (Stalone)? Also, before Sparton went into the 'fridge, he had a wife, so why did he so unhesitantly agree to do It with Huxley (Bullock) AND without the knowledge of how they do It in the future, instead of grieving a little more like any other man who loved his wife like he supposedly did would do? Other than those and a few other outpoints, good plot, good characters, and good action, which more than make up for the movie's few flaws! A unique, good-and-evil-from-the-past-battling-in-the-future movie! I hightly recommend it!
