Oh no! No no no no no no no no!
You did NOT just take off your helmet.
Unforgivable.

Clearly, one of the best comedies of 1995.

As much as it pains me to say, the depiction of Mega-City One as a teeming, eccentrically designed metropolis in this is vastly more faithful to the original 2000AD strips than the recent Dredd managed to be.
I suppose it all comes down to budget in the end, but the money is most definitely up on the screen here in terms of set design, model work and visual effects. All of which holds up okay on Blu-ray, despite some dodgy primitive CG, and a particularly 1990s feel to the production (some sets looked like they had re-dressed Burton's Gotham as they both have the same stagey feel, despite their size).However, all of the surprisingly impressive world-building comes crashing down…

Nowhere near as good as the new one. It's actually a pretty terrible film but I've always had fun with it. It definitely goes into guilty pleasure territory for me.

Yikes! My eyeballs overfloweth with glorious cheese. Blu ray definitely pops. Fun f/x. Stallone needs an honorary award for such macho bellowing.

"I never broke the law. I AM THE LAW!"
As a Judge Dredd, this is a horrible piece of crap that takes a colossal shit all over it's source material and makes you wish it's makers had been eaten by a family of mutated hillbilly cannibals. But as a '90's Sylvester Stallone actioner...
It's still a piece of shit.
Fun at times, with a few entertaining set pieces and unintentionally hilarious performances, but shit all the same.
NOTE: My rating may seem a little high for a shit film, but I actually did have some fun with it.

Klar das Ding hat reichlich wenig mit Judge Dredd zu tun. Aber es ist einfach nen unterhaltsamer 90er Actioner und sticht damit die meisten aktuellen Actionfilme aus.

With the new 'Dredd' in cinemas, and Karl Urban taking on the role of the chin, this 1995 offering was the next clear choice for Stallone's average slice of action helping.
In Mega City One, Judge Dredd (Stallone) is the most feared law enforcer of them all until someone on the inside sets him up for murder. You know the rest... it's up to Dredd and a close band of those he trusts, in the guide of partner Judge Hershey (Diane Lane) and midly annoying yet decent criminal Fergie (Rob Schneider), to prove his innocence and dispense justice to those who have tarnished the law.
It's a typical 90s action film, a little cheesy at times and Stallone hamming up…

While I'm a huge comic geek, I've never read Judge Dredd. I know there have been some very talented creators who have worked on the character and his world, but its not a world that has ever held much interest for me. That being said, and even without much knowledge of the character, I know that this movie strays pretty far from the roots of Judge Dredd. I'd be more accepting of that choice if the movie was more entertaining. Sadly, it is not.

I AM THE LAW! but slightly camp.
I quite liked it.
DROKK!

This film is not as good as the new film, not at all.
Rob Schneider in a serious role should be a crime.

Unterhaltender Sly-Streifen. Nettes Sci-Fi Setting, und ein gutes Mass an Action. Story kommt auch nicht zu kurz.
