Oh no! No no no no no no no no!
You did NOT just take off your helmet.
Unforgivable.
Review by ScreeningNotes ★★ 2

"I'm the only one that ever liked you."
"I'll be the judge of that."
I decided to watch this because I'm writing a paper on the 2012 Dredd and thought it might be interesting to see the differences, and boy are there a lot of differences. I don't know anything about the comics, but I get the feeling that when Rob Schneider interrupted Sylvester Stallone and Diane Lane's heartfelt discussion about Dredd's feelings to inform them that he fixed the microwave and made popcorn, fans might have felt slightly betrayed. Somewhere along the line in production some genius decided it would be a great idea to add in some comic relief, and what could have at least been a campy…
Review by Matt Singer ★★ 3

Not quite as bad as I remembered, but not much better. And whoever thought this material needed wacky comic relief at all, much less wacky comic relief in the form of loudmouth Rob Schneider, should be banned from filmmaking.
Still there's some '90s comic-book production design par excellence buried beneath the cheese, and this version isn't *that* far removed from the much better 2012 DREDD with Karl Urban. Plus, I have a hard time totally hating a movie that features a Judge Dredd costume designed by Gianni Versace that includes an enormous metallic codpiece, and a final fight that takes place in the crown of the Statue of Liberty and includes the line "I'll be the judge of that."
Review by Waiching Liu ★ 4

Sylvester Stallone's 1995 offering Judge Dredd turns out to be a disappointing and lacklustre affair that despite some action set-pieces, pretty much everything else- from the sub to below-par performances, the material and the decision to incorporate a plucky sidekick, who turns out to be irritating and an unnecessity hindered this movie. In fact, sitting through it, I couldn't help but feel this is almost a carbon copy of Demolition Man. Or make that a stripped down, third-rate version of Demolition Man and taking away the fun, satirical nature and the feel-good factor that film had, with a bit of the Robocop law enforcement theme thrown in.
Lets see: Sylvester Stallone as the law enforcer, check. Attractive female sidekicks in…

Review by Joshua Madden ★★★

It's good to know that even if society gets down to this level, there will still be Jack in the Box.
Review by solh ★★½

Set in a future in which policemen are allowed to assume the role of judge and use deadly force on duty, this dystopian thriller looks at one such judge who is framed as part of an evil plot. While the future depicted here feels like a tired mishmash of Mad Max 2 and Blade Runner, the film has some decent satire to offer in its opening scenes with the excessive force used by the judges, blowing up rather than impounding cars. As the antagonist subplot develops though, the satire falls short. There are some over-the-top courtroom theatrics, but most of the film just has Sylvester Stallone getting into fights as he attempts to prove his innocence. Rob Schneider is never too likeable as a comical sidekick either, though none of the performances are particularly great. The film does, however, boast some good special effects and sets.

Me: “Rob Schneider ruined this movie”
Some 80s loser: *Sylvester Stallone Voice* I knew you’d say that

Review by Oliver Boes ★★

When satire is really good it always risks being misinterpreted as endorsement for its subject
Review by Kurt Fabisch ★★★

"Bitch!"
*PUNCH*
"Judge Bitch!"
In the future Mega City One is all that remains of America and the police have been replaced with officers who act as the entire judicial process in one person, judges, juries and executioners. And one ex-Judge now in prison escapes to try and take over the Judges.
Sylvester Stallone right in that peak of his powers going from one hit to another.... mostly shit.... actually slipped a comic book movie in the mix with Judge Dredd. And... it's not that bad.
Stallone is actually PERFECT casting for Dredd, he's got the look and the voice and the delivery down pat. His first scene where it's Dredd just doing his thing quelling a riot and taking…

Review by Emma ★½

Dredd (2012) is one of my absolute favourites, and i felt i owed it to myself to watch this because it’s apparently ass

it is most certainly ass, in the most bizarre way possible
i kept watching it in hopes that it would become hilarious à la The Room but unfortunately it just made me sad
things of note/cool things!
- thing of note: ‘I. Am. The Law. Please. drop. Your. Weapons.’
- cool thing: Givanni Versace designed the Dredd costumes yikes
- thing of note: ‘emotions. there ought to be a law against them.’
- thing of note: Sylvester Stallone as Dredd as Sylvester Stallone
- cool thing: i really hated this!

- too much Rob Schneider, I need a lot less Rob Schneider

you have been found guilty of making a movie that is both atrocious and boring. the punishment is no reboot until 2012.
