Advantages: Judge Dredd on the big screen!

Disadvantages: Stallone is Dredd

Judge Dredd is set in the future where the Earth has become a scorched desert and the majority of people live in a few Mega Cities (containing hundreds of millions of people in cramped conditions). In these Mega Cities law and order is handled by the Judges who, upon catching a criminal, act as Judge, jury and executioner (if required).

Judge Dredd is the most feared of the Judges due to his encyclopedic knowledge of the law and his complete black and white view of those within and outside of the law. This story revolves around a seniour Judges ambition to create genetically engineered Judges to bring back law and order to the streets. This should have been a brilliant film, but it just seems to lack the drama and sense of danger from the Judge Dredd comics.

One of the main downfalls of this film was casting Sylvester Stallone as Dredd. In the comics Dredd never removed his helmet and was nearly always in his armour. In this film Stallone can't wait to get his face on screen and strip to show his muscles. A very poor and disappointing film.

Summary: A very poor film.
