Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

nickboldrini I read an interview with the director, who complained that one of the early script treatments seemed to be a standard sci-fi with elements of Judge Dredd crafted on top - and that still seems to be true of the final version. The comic relief actually fits in with the comic style, and this captures well the look and feel of the Judges, Mega City One, and the Cursed earth - with good costumes, props and special effects for the bikes, weapons, robots and so on. But the story is only very weakly set in the Judge Dredd universe, and is the weakest element of the whole. Essentially this fails to capture the spirit of Judge Dredd from the comic, whilst getting the look.

tankace I am a big fan of Sylvester Stallone ,however I have no issue saying that this film is very good ,the acting, the style of the mega-city and as for faith- fullness in the comic let's leave it at that. Thsi film could been at least decent ,but the thought to make it such a loud any cliché action film was beyond fluid and down right baffling. As for Stallone in the lead role... well he was and still is a good action star ,but in this film he is just a over the top policeman and not the iconic antihero we all know and love. His portrait makes difficult for me to take him serious ,with his corny manners. As for the plot well it is a interesting thought to use maybe the most famous story arc of the Judge, but though they hit all the needed points , the tension and the way is done cuts out every sense of suspense and shock. Over all this film is a good example of a comic-book film of the nineties, when big studios just learned how big is the comic audience and try to capitalize on the success of 1989 Batman, with out first figuring out what made it so good or what made the comic so beloved and of course which characters are the truly iconic like Batman, Wonder Woman ,Spiderman and not Spawn or Steel.

zizin Is based by a comic book alright but I know That this movie is silly type like dredd without the helmet yeah that sucks but worth it Stallone makes a pretty good job on dredd and yeah his tone of the law is silly If anyone mock Stallone that is judging his poor jaw man that actually happened and discrimination of his accent is against the law OK,and ignore rob schneider if you get annoyed just concentrate on judge dredd, and Armand Assante makes a good job on the twisted villain of dark judges because is rare people and judge Rico is so perfect about the judge dredd creator said that is not like the comic well what the f word is his characters and storyline so similar except judge dredd removing his helmet but is close at the comic,watch this movie and you won't be disappointed

bkoganbing One thing I did like about Judge Dredd is that most futuristic science fiction films only put their events maybe decades away and in film we've seen enough over past decades to know thing didn't turn out quite as predicted. Judge Dredd is set safely several centuries in the future so by then if things don't turn out as abysmally for the earth no one is around for an I told you so.This is one dismal future. We've not reached the stars, we've poisoned our own planet and the population is now all urban dwellers. I didn't see anything on how food was provided, presumably we're all eating Soylent products. But with the kind of crowding in these domed cities law and order is a problem.A lid is being kept on with a system of judges. But don't expect learned written opinions from these guys. They are police, judge, and executioner. Stallone is a guy who dispenses summary judgment in his court of the streets, very few appeals are made. Rooster Cogburn would have liked this system.But Stallone himself is accused of murder, but he's given a life sentence at a penal colony in Aspen. Nevertheless he escapes and finds out who put him in the jackpot with the help of fellow judge Diane Lane and petty criminal Rob Schneider.The villain here is Armand Assante who has appeared in several of Sly's films. Let's say he has a plan of reforming the system that will bring real law and order to the world according to him.Sly over the years has developed a light touch and it's applied in Judge Dredd when needed. Imagine Rambo dispensing summary judgment and you have Judge Dredd.
