Richard Schickel
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.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Nearly all the SF premises are accorded the status of Andrew Dice Clay one-liners -- which means that they, along with the characters, keep changing from one scene to the next.
Emanuel Levy
A noisy, soulless, self-conscious pastiche that mixes elements of sci-fi, action-adventure and romance, then pours on a layer of comedy replete with Hollywood in-jokes.
Forget your preconceptions, but not your brain cells and sense of irony.
Vincent Canby
Demolition Man is a significant artifact of our time or, at least, of this week.
Peter Travers
Demolition Man is sleek and empty as well as brutal and pointless. It feels computer engineered, untouched by human hands. A real pod movie.

In the end, that's all this film is: flames, flying bullets, and special effects. It could be worse, I suppose, but as long as people go into this film with their eyes open, there shouldn't be any surprises.

I love this movie! Great movie, awesome cult classic, everything I remembered it to be except they voiced over the name taco bell and changed it to Pizza hut??? They even (badly) edited the signs on the restaurant to pizza huts logo. I love this movie but I feel like this editing cheapens the nostalgic value. Especially since PepsiCo owns both companies so licensing shouldn't be an issue. 5 stars if we can get the editing removed.

Bad upload of the movie The HD version on Google Play has badly encoded sound throughout the entire movie. It is very tinny and does echo some and makes it hard to understand the actors. Also the version on Google Play is the foreign version with references to Taco Bell removed and replaced by Pizza Hut with very bad dubbing. Excellent movie but don't buy it here. Buy it elsewhere.
Good but upset I loved this movie growing up however the sole surviving franchise was Taco Bell as was in the movie when I was a child and in the description provided by Google Play. This version has Pizza Hut instead with real bad voice overs. So did Pizza Hut pay extra to change the history of a movie that is nearly 20 years old? Come on thats not cool at all. Very unfortunate! I wonder if the Richie Rich movie now has a Burger King instead of McDonald's.

This is not the American version It would have been nice of Google to state that this version is the international version that had all references to Taco Bell changed to Pizza Hut. Having seen this movie many times it was quite surprising to hear Stallone utter the words Pizza Hut. It's still a good movie regardless.

Inception
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the best in the dangerous art of extraction: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible--inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse, their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Pacific Rim (2013)
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)
Danny Ocean likes his chances. All he asks is that his handpicked squad of 10 grifters and cons play the game like they have nothing to lose. If all goes right, the payoff will be a fat $150 million. Divided by 11. You do the math. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (c) 2001 Warner Bros. U.S., Canada, Bahama and Bermuda (c) Roadshow all other territories
